The reluctant protagonist Miharu gets acquainted with the Fuuma Village shinobis. Miharu starts slowly to understand the situation he is in, with the possibility of getting back stabbed by those swearing to protect him.

The first antagonist, Yoite, delivers a beautiful portrait of a human in pain (if you can tell) and his desire to cease to exist is spend id in it's own way.

It has been awhile since I read the first volume of this, so I had to fill in alot of blanks. However, I still enjoyed this volume and will continue forward. I love Miharu's indifference to everything, and the world building is starting to make a little more sense to me. Hopefully, I won't have to re-read the first volume because I would like to start making more progress on this series!

I'm not sure if I understand the background information for everything that happens because history isn't exactly my thing, but I was a little more intrigued by this Volume.
I like Yumiki and Yoite because rather than just being part of "the bad guys" they are portrayed as individuals and I like how Yoite questions himself. (Also, he makes stuff tense and I like tension - he reminds me of Vincent Nightray from Pandora Hearts a bit.)

Miharu... it may seem difficult to like a character who is acting indifferent all of the time but I think he is quite interesting because he's different from the ordinary "too kind for you" manga hero.

Also, I smell angst everywhere.

And Raikou made an appearance (well, just in memories but that counts)! Yaaaay, Raikou. I'm so looking forward to Volume 4 because apparently that's when he and Gau get properly indtroduced? (And I'm already shipping them although I know nothing about them, help, basically I'm just reading this manga because of them? What is life, what is choices...)

Volume 2 and the similarities to Naruto keep coming but I'm pretty sure this is the first manga I've read that quotes Elie Wiesel so that's cool.
