Less creepy than the first volume but no less relevant. If part one did the heavy lifting to get us hooked then this is the school lesson in Japanese ghost lore and terminology, manga style, so how could that not be a joy? The storytellers even complain at one point that teach always makes it dry, and so the author still hooks in every type of demon or spirit with a little meta story in order to update it. Pretty much essential, you'd think.
