Ishura, Vol. 2: The Particle Storm in the Realm of Slaughter

異修羅 #2

by Keiso

Tremendous destruction has been wrought by the central players in the New Demon King War. Gods made flesh have met their end as their names enter the annals of history. Even so, there are still those with enough power to give shape to the new era. Among them are a golem who revives endlessly by conquering whatever weakness caused its downfall, a giant whose far-reaching arrows transform the very terrain, and an entity that reduces everything it touches to dust... When these forces of nature encounter those who would use their powers for their own ends, the world enters a veritable arms race. And while the seat of the True Hero remains empty, those who profit most from conflict bide their time while their champion lights the flames of war once again.

I love it that Keiso is still patiently building Ishura world, even deep into volume 2, as he gathers the hero candidates in the story... However, the sheer number of characters can be a bit confusing. I love the characters new to this book such as Toroa, Mestelexil, and Kuroo, though.

And I don't know if it's just me but the (translation of?) the sentences sometimes feel off; I'd repeat some sentences without really getting what they mean or they refer to. What's clear is there are some typos and inconsistencies (like Kayon/Cayon) that would benefit from tighter editing.

Looking forward to book three!
