The Seven Deadly Sins, Vol. 2 by Nakaba Suzuki
3.0
The second volume introduces us to Gilthunder, who is Elizabeth’s older brother and an acquaintance of Meliodas and Diana. They were in the king’s service. As they exchange blows, Gilthunder reveals where the other sinners are. He tells him that “Fox sin” is in a prison guarded by four sacred knights, and “Grizzly sin” is in the land of the dead.
Diana takes Gilthunder and throws him miles away. While Meliodas is being treated for Gilthunder's wound, Diana looks for the fox sinner Ban. The Holy knights set a trap for the protagonists, and Ban, who has freed himself, wreaks havoc in the castle.
There is a noticeable increase in pace and action sequences in the story. There is not really a story arc as it is volume two in an ongoing series, rather a continuation of the story. With the fight and action scenes, it maintains a good balance between character development and backstory. The story does not feel choppy when it jumps back and forth between Dalmally and Baste Prison.As for the world building, I continue to withhold my opinion. I'm curious to know if there are any limitations to magic, as it seems to be a soft magic system. Despite its abundance of adventure and imagination, the world so far appears plain. As of now, its magic lies in its characters.
How could Meliodas get hurt by a sword mixed with lightning if he could handle Diane's hits? The math doesn’t add up, and it seems unrealistic. It doesn’t seem believable that a single sword slash could injure Meliodas when he took repeated hits from Ruin with no visible signs of injury.
I believe that this is a major plot hole that needs to be addressed. Without explaining Meliodas' injury, the rest of the story is difficult to believe.
A person who likes or seeks an action, adventure, and fantasy story would enjoy this manga. This manga is unsuitable for those who dislike fantasy, violence, blood, or perviness content.
