Beet and Poala are in the midst of an epic journey, facing off against one powerful Vandel after another, but even with this magical weapons, can they best such immovable foes? Sanjo continues this fun and witty adventure with another exciting entry. Will Beet's skills be enough to ensure victory over such menacing opponents?

Cute idea for a manga, if a little derivative.

Honestly, given how chill the first volume was, I feel like this volume was an intriguing follow-up. While we did get a little more growth from both Beet and Poala (as well as meeting a third character and possible future teammate Slade) we got more world-building on the side of the vandels, which was the thing that really got my attention this time around. This volume ends in the middle of a showdown between Beet and the arch nemesis Beltorze, so the third volume should at least open in an interesting way.

I think the first one was good, but this one was better and more understanding.

It's a nice story about a boy fighting to end the "Age of Darkness". Not the best story out there but compared to Dai's Adventure has better characters and a more believable premise. As the story progresses the characters only get better and more interesting. I was sad when it stopped so long ago and can't wait to continue it.
