So my zodiac may have a cool animal (in this set at least) but they still suck, as always. This was another okay volume, still formulaic but still entertaining enough.

I decided to read Juni Taisen: Zodiac War by Akira Akatsuki, Nisioisin & Hikaru Nakamura because I've read volumes 1-2 and wanted to see how the battel plays out from where I felt off. Once I started reading this book I was ready for the very insane, action packed and gory of a story! I really love how this story is written because you can't figure out what's gonna happen next; very unpredictable and shocking. Each Zodiac character has special abilities when it come to the fighting and each of them has an interesting backstory. I really love the art style because it's very clear to see, each character has a special design so you know which zodiac animal they are, and the action/gory scenes are incredible! It's better to not say too much about this book because it's better to read that way. I feel that The Fighter of the Rabbit: Usagi might be the strongest player in this war and I think The Fighter Of The Rat: Nezumi might be hiding something for this war for the next volume. I would recommend this book to horror fans because this give you plenty of it and the storyline is amazing! I can't wait to read the final volume to see how this epic battel ends!

Alliances are more reliable near the end, when only four fighters remain. Even though only one must emerge victorious, these temporary alliances are tactically sound. Also, butt-shots. You can't keep a good mangaka down. Fine, I'll bump it to three stars, I guess.
