look, this manga right here makes me love the japanese culture and the japanese language again; and usually my hatred, once established, is super strong. so really, this is the best thing ever. i love it.

(also, have i read literally 12 (?) volumes in one day? yes, yes i did)

Dos semanas seguidas comentado Nura, no os acostumbréis porque no volverá a pasar XD.

Éste tomo diecisiete sigue un poco el esquema del anterior (del final del anterior) en cuanto a que sigue contándonos historias de “terror” de distinto orden. Concretamente éste tomo gira en torno a tres historias aparentemente inconexas sobre Yokai que parecen haber sido creados mediante el imaginario colectivo, unos Yokai que parecen tener algo en común, algo que se descubre al final del volumen.

Las historias en sí no están mal, y salvo la primera tienen como protagonistas a varios secundarios de la obra. Esto no sé si lo hacen para que no nos olvidemos de ellos o para no saturar con el protagonista, pero el caso es que las historias funcionan bien, tienen una extensión muy medida y el que estén relacionadas entre sí abriendo un nuevo arco argumental en el tramo final también es un punto muy a favor.

Lo que sigue sin acabarme de enganchar es el dibujo, en ocasiones brillante en ocasiones confuso y con un diseño de personajes humano que te deja con el culo torcido al no tener claro quién es quién con un simple vistazo (hay demasiada gente igual!).

Pero bueno, me gusta el tomo y espero bastante del siguiente.

The Hundred Stories Clan seem like an ominous foe. Before starting this volume, I thought Toryanse was going to be a one and done villain, but he's actually part of a larger plot at stake. There's this desire to allow yokai to live on by making sure they stay relevant, but the Clan wants to achieve that by stoking people's fear. The Village That Devours People arc was a good use of found footage film vibes. We were also able to see more of Ryuji's abilities. I'd say the volume's main drawback was the potty humor (especially since these characters are in middle school my god), yet I'm still enjoying the action and how these puzzle pieces continue to build up Rikuo's continued rise as clan leader. Although looking ahead at some of the volume descriptions, that might be put in jeopardy. How will I feel about that? TBD

Seratus cerita telah diciptakan, kini yokai rekaan yang mewujud dari karangan kolektif antagonis menghantui beberapa titik di jepang. Sebenarnya runut volume ini seragam dengan awal kisah di manga ini, namun tiap tragedi kali ini memiliki benang merah yang sama.

Tiga urban legend yang menyeruak menghampiri penjuru negeri sampaia ke telinga klan Nura maupun klan Keikain. Mulai dari hantu pemotong wajah, desa pemakan manusia sampai kisah gadis di stasiun bawah tanah. Kesemuanya berkaitan satu sama lain.

Kisahnya tidaklah buruk, tapi juga belum terlalu meninggalkan kesan yang begitu mendalam padaku. Namun aku penasaran dengan adegan di bagian akhir yang tampaknya akan menguak kisah silam komandan kedua klan Nura, Rihan.

NURA: RISE OF THE YOKAI CLAN by HIROSHI SHIIBASHI volume 17 is about the introduction of a new enemy that the Yokai clan and Nura will have to face in the near future. The new yet old clan consists of monsters that are created from urban legends and horror stories. But it is a little hard to understand the urban legends so it's best to read slowly. All in all its the start of a new ark so its key to read this before reading the next books in the series.

It's glad to have Nura back to their root as horror action manga in this volume.
The "Village XXX" arc is spooky enough until I have to turn on the tv when I read it. Ha... ha...

The upcoming war would be a total war. Its time to accumulate new companions.

My Thoughts:

The Hundred Stories Clan is back in business for sure in this volume. They even manage to drag one of Rikuo's classmates into things as Torii manages to get herself kidnapped by yokai once again. She thought she was following Kurotabo, but no way was he there. Then she stumbles upon the Hundred Stories members and ends up a part of one of their stories. If it wasn't for her calling out for Kurotabo's help, both Torii and Maki would be dead. Those two have rotten luck when it comes to yokai, seriously. This episode brings us to an encounter between Kurotabo and Yanagida of the Hundred Stories Clan. Apparently, they're working to revive that wretched Sanmoto.

Now that the Nura Clan knows for certain that Hundred Stories is back, Rikuo tells them to be vigilant. One of the Execs suggests that there's a spy in the Nura Clan, but isn't he the spy? From that chapter when Tamazuki was defeated way back when, wasn't he the one that got the Devil's Hammer from Yosuzume? Anyway, I'm on board with the spy thing. I'm worried about how this will play out. It's easy for the Hundred Stories Clan to expand since all that has to happen is for people to talk about them so much they become real.

Absolutely freaking awesome. One of the best volumes in a while. This volume concentrates on a new Yokai Clan called the "Hundred Stories Clan" which consists of Yokai which are made up from myths and urban legends that become so widespread they have a life of their own and the Yokai are actually created from the fear itself. Very awesome! Rikuo and the Clan deal with some sweet stories and new yokai in chapters called: "The Ripper", "The Village That Devours People" and "The Girl on the Subway". Finally the book ends connecting the Hundred Stories Clan with the past and we are set to take a peek at a bygone era and hear a tale involving Rikuo's father, Rihan. Loved, loved, this volume and am so hyped for volume 18!
