Un second tome très riche en rebondissements puisque le jeune Yutaka semble prendre une nouvelle envergure. Valmu s'acclimate doucement au monde des humains et se pose beaucoup de questions sur sa position. Il réalise que ce sont des esprits qui choisissent l'héritier et décide de se battre pour obtenir leurs faveurs.
Les graphismes des personnages sont toujours aussi doux et le travail sur les expressions très soigné.
L'intrigue prend un peu d'épaisseur avec l'arrivée de nouveaux esprits.
Un second tome qui donne envie de lire le suivant tout simplement.

The second book in the series picks up the action, but seeing as the first book was so lax in that department its safe to say it isn't much faster. A rivalry seems to begin with some of the characters and we get to see a lot more character interactions and expanding on the different personalities but still we don't learn a lot more about the world of Varumu, or the spirits what's going on or anything too concrete. The story still, sadly, plods a long which is likely did not help in its not being picked up by any other manga publisher.

The artwork is still cute, it has a kind of Digimon feel to it, what with the wind character wearing a helmet and resembling a cute little animal. Still, the story happens but nothing much else does. The artwork alone is reason to love this, but I can see why it has not been picked up for translation nor do I think it ever will be. *sighs* And it has such cute art too.

Cute manga made for younger readers involving the quest of a prince to become the next king. He must make pacts with several guardians until he has finished the insignia of the king on his hand.

Read it with volume 1. Same thoughts as volume 1.
