The tension builds and we see more of 'Hikaru', his motivations and the horrors he defends Yoshiki from (while potentially being a magnet to them). There is something so unnerving even about the tenderness at play in this series, but nonetheless (and perhaps even because of this) I do find myself loving all the characters.

Once again, gorgeous artwork that illustrates a regrettably choppy narrative flow. Still utterly cute and weird, though--the horror got a bit more attention here, and I'm here for it. I enjoyed this more than the last volume, so I'll continue reading when the library purchases volume 3.
