In the afterword to volume 1, Yuji Shiozaki claimed he would make the story easier to follow. This is a promise that he didn't fully keep. Well, it is easier to follow due to familiarity with the characters, but there are still areas where I found it very hard to follow the story, and had to check to see if I had somehow skipped a page. A nice addition was character bios for some of the main characters. The artwork maintained the same quality from the first volume.

While I'm starting to lose the thread over what the fudge is happening, still interesting.

Again, I have a different cover but the same ISBN.

Yuji Shiozaki should have hired someone to do the story. He does good art, but the story keeps jumping and is virtually impossible to follow.

I'm not sure when this book was originally published vs. Tenjo Tenge, but the more I read, the more this came across as a poor man's version of the latter: same concept, similar characters and designs (EDIT: a fan actually listed comparisons side by side of the two mangas, showing scenes and poses that seem to very closely resemble those of TT, if not outright plagiarize them) with none of the charm, the interesting backstory or characters: the main protagonist wins fights always in the same way (she gets her ass kicked, has a sudden moment of going psycho and levels up, then proceeds to kick ass). The story is convoluted and complicated unecessarily so, and the world build is boring.

I'm reading a friend's colection, fortunately, as this is definitely not worth my money.

Battle Vixens is good at what it does, just isn't really my thing. In this one Hakufu faces off against Ryomo and some other more powerful Toushi. The fights are repetitive - Hakufu seems to get beaten, loses her shirt, gives us tones of panty shots before mysteriously being able to power up and win.

The one nice thing about this one are the character bios which break up each chapter. Not much else I can say really it is what it is - an excuse to show as much T&A and violence as possible with an over complicated plot and clueless characters. Easier to follow than book one, but hasn't really captured my interest.

Vieja edición argentina que seguro repite ISBN de la española.
Este libro va a estar incluido dentro del tomo 1 de la nueva edición Remix.

Un poco menos de sentido que el tomo anterior.
