Daemons of the Shadow Realm, Vol. 9

黄泉のツガイ [Yomi no Tsugai] #9

by Hiromu Arakawa

Hiromu Arakawa, award-winning manga creator of the best-selling smash hit Fullmetal Alchemist, draws readers into an intricate new web of magic, intrigue, and life-or-death stakes!

In a world where certain humans command mighty supernatural duos called Daemons, it is the birthright of “the children who sunder day and night”—twins Yuru and Asa—to rule over these powerful entities.

Separated from a young age and unaware of the truth of their birth, brother and sister must fight to make their way back to each other, claim their birthright, and save the world…

Ancient Daemons awaken to fight a new battle in an age-old war!!

A debilitated Akio explains why he betrayed the Kagemori clan to a bewildered Natsuki. Nearby, Mountain God’s relics explode without warning, allowing Akio to flee captivity and unite with his enigmatic new companions from western Japan. Hana is subsequently summoned to a clandestine meeting of Higashi Village agents, where the same hostile force that attacked the Kagemoris has planted another set of bombs!

one of the better volumes i’ve read in this series lately! it went from being horrifying and aggressive to fun and quirky!

[Katheryn Haskell · Rating 4 out of 5]

Oooh, I like this volume a lot! The plot progression is great, we love enemies to allies. Also I love that Hana gets a little more love in this volume. I feel like it's moving past the initial set up for the world, finally, and getting more interesting, very excited for the next volume.

The plot didn’t move along much in this volume, but we finally got context to what caused some events, which more than makes up for it. Also, that ending??? I can’t wait for volume 10!

Hana is so cool I can’t wait to see more from her and her daemons. I also hope to see a flashback of Dera’s late daemons and some of his mercenary days.
