There are two traits found in most of Narita's works:
* Narita writes extremely fast, one volume a month if he wishes - with tons of spelling errors and missing words as a tradeoff. The editors like to leave them sometimes just for fun, though.
* His work titles often have an exclamation mark at the end (i.e. Baccano!, Vamp!, Durarara!!, etc.).

As is expected of Narita's work, this story has once again been a rollercoaster ride; with twists and turns that just gets bigger and more abrupt with each page. Like all other series, Narita has once again incorporated a gigantic cast into his story, and once again, all of his characters are just so lovable.
Aside from the returning cast from the first volume, we now meet many other vampires that live within the Waldstein castle (which now also includes Val and the jester). One of them is called Doctor, who has become one of my favourite characters. Anyhow, we are also introduced with the members in the "organization", which Gerhadt had once been a part of.
This was a book I just couldn't put down; and because of that, my maths test results had to suffer for it - but I couldn't help it. It was just that good. Definitely a series to pick up if you enjoyed the other Narita books.

CHILLS
I literally got chills down my neck through my spine down to my toes when I finished the final chapter of this volume.
The first volume acts as a sort of prologue to the story, and it's really in this second volume where the story truly begins. We're finally (officially) introduced to the watermelon character, the other members of the organization, "Nidhogg & Hraesvelgr", and Doctor & Professor. And the introductions, reveals, and story arcs of these new characters in just this first act is so incredibly breathtaking and engaging. The simultaneously chaotic yet elegant way in which the huge ensemble cast of characters interact— or to be more descriptive, crash— into one another is a mesmerizing feat that I've only seen Narita able to achieve in such masterful fashion.
If volume 1 was already a 10/10, this one would be a 14/10. probably my favorite volume of the series, but we'll have to see if volume 3 is able to top that.
