'Daemons of the Shadow Realm Volume 2 continues on the great momentum of the first volume. Yuru has been captured by people that appear to be his enemy at the beginning of the volume but Yuru quickly learns that they are the people who have been harboring his twin sister. He decides to go along with them if it means seeing his long lost twin.
I really appreciated Asa's introduction and her dynamic with Yuru. Her fascination with the brother she hasn't seen for years feels warranted but also leads to some funny moments. Arakawa does an exceptional job of balancing character moments, action, and comedy. We get a few interesting world/character nuggets that feel like they will be further expanded on in the future.
It's painful to have to wait for volume 3 because this series is that good.
