Laughing Under the Clouds, Volume 2 by Kemuri Karakara

3.0

This volume was an improvement over volume 1. This manga has a very weak introduction. I wonder if this manga is being written from an anime or other source material. There was a reference to their village being under the clouds which seemed important but either I missed the explanation or it was not explained. The first volume described the story being about three brothers and a prison, the prison was mentioned only briefly. The storyline of the “orochi” seems very familiar to me. I like how the two female characters that were introduced wear clothing that covers their bodies! That means I can let my students read this manga. I like the brothers. The older one is very flamboyant and reminds me of Nue from the Demon Prince of Momochi House. The middle brother is my favorite, he is the Jan of the Clan! I love Tokyopop and I know the art is general rather than precise and the storylines are loose and vague but I always love the characters. Let’s see where these three brothers go.
