But the sudden influx of refugees from the fire-ravaged village of Achines presents a more immediate problem―how to keep everyone fed. So Ag decides to hunt one of the massive bovine monstrosities known as tauroth…only to find that there is worse trouble on the way when their band of survivors attracts the attention of the crusaders who put Achines to the torch…

Agredios and friends hunt a tauroth to have food and the Church sends people to kill them.

3.5 stars - this is an odd little story. Where most series would have huge event after huge event to move along the action, this one takes the time to say - we're running out of food, what do we do? There are times when the writing/art is rough to the point where it takes me a while to figure out what's going on (I didn't understand why all the Church soldiers were collapsing until told). And yet I really care about this group, who are showing their best selves by trying to help one another (and survive). I hope there are more in this series to come.

While the dialogue is still a bit unnatural, the action a bit hard to follow and the scenes sometimes jump scenes without filling in some gaps, this volume flowed better than the first one. The story is getting more compelling and I am interested to see where it goes when the next volume is out. I gave this a higher rating than my criticisms would indicate as the story is still really good and the characters and story engaging.

Worse than Vol 1. It's basically a manga about cooking and eating in a "grim" fantasy setup.
Such, a shame...

I think I would have liked this better if I had read it closer to when I read volume 1. Instead it was just sorta… there…
