Yu-Gi-Oh! (3-In-1 Edition), Vol. 2: Includes Vols. 4, 5 & 6 by Kazuki Takahashi
4.0
The second 3-in-1 of the Yu-Gi-Oh series. This manga once again barely has any actual card battles as you see in the show, it only has one that spans around 40 pages. If I read it correctly, the next 3-in-1 will start with Duelist Kingdom, which is the island where the first season of the anime takes place.
I don't mind the lack of card battles though. The manga so far is quite interesting and fun on its own without relying on the popularity of what Yu-Gi-Oh is known for. I like to see what happened before the anime, and this and the first book are basically 6 volumes of pure prequel goodness. Sure, there are some parts that are slower but they never really bothered me.
I like how Honda (Tristan in the anime) plays a bigger role this time around, wherein the first 3-in-1 he was more of a side character. He also has a pervy little kid that he was to watch out for while the Kaiba arc goes on. Once again, the manga is darker than the anime and you can see why it's is mostly for older teens and above while the anime is more for all ages.
Also, this book ends on a cliffhanger and I really want to see how the story unfolds. So I can't wait to read the next omnibus to see the end of that chapter, and the start of the actual Yu-Gi-Oh dueling arc.
