When Bad Blood Breaks Out, Amane and Hyoue are on the Case! A powerful demon is at large at school, tearing up classrooms for seemingly no reason. It looks like the work of a Koma-oni, a guardian beast. But if that's the case, who's controlling it? Meanwhile, there's a new guy at school and he's got his eyes on Amane. It is purely for romantic reasons that Mitsumine has been following Amane, or does he know more than he lets on? And when Amane figures out a way to use her powers to change the outcome of gambling, will greed get to her head?
Mick Takeuchi (竹内未来) has been making manga since 1994. Her breakout series was Ayakashihime Kurenai, published under Kadokawa’s Asuka imprint. In 2000, she began Joou-sama no Inu (Her Majesty’s Dog), her longest and most popular work. It started out as a part-time project, with quarterly chapters, but was so popular that after 2002, it ran monthly and was her sole project for a while.
Takeuchi-sensei has a talent for imitating anime voices. When she’s not busy working, she enjoys wandering around the city.
Another day Hyoe histeris dibilang bukan anjing. Wkwkwkwwkk xD Masih lucu. Muncul karakter-karakter baru. Belum mengarah ke konflik orang-orang di desa kayaknya nih. Jadi belum ada konflik yang begitu serius. Perubahannya... Amane berjumpa dengan banyak orang. Pelan-pelan tahu gimana hidup sebenarnya. Masih tetap polos dan tidak melek teknologi xD
Her Majesty’s Dog Vol 3 _ Chs 11 => 15 _ Title = Dogfight . Ch 11
How horrible! It turns out Hyoue Inugami has a gambling problem.
Can Aname help ? Perhaps I should of said, will she help ?
Looks like Hyoue is in over his head. . . Ch 12
New trouble ahead. Souta Mitsumine, real name is Aoi Mitsumine has set his sights on Aname. He is a very popular actor. She’s only interested in the vengeful woman possessing him.
Will she agree to date him ?
If yes, what will Hyoue do ? . . Ch 13
How do they get rid of the vengeful woman possessing Aoi ?
Can it be done ? . . Ch 14
Aname’s being harassed at school. Her desk has been destroyed.
Who did it and why ?
Is there a new threat, or an old threat that has begun to move ? . . Ch 15
Amane meets another girl from her village putting curses on people. She decides to stop her, but how ? Hyoue says he won't help her.
Will Aname get in trouble ? Can she stop her ? What is Hyoue going to be doing all this time ?
Hyoue is acting strange in the first chapter and Amane and Takako decide to find out why. When they discover he's trying to help a couple of old men, at first they're impressed - until they find out Hyoue's been running bets for the men and has run up a debt of his own. Oops.
Most of the rest of the book is taken up by a new character, a teen idol who attends the kids' school, Souto Mitsumine, and his troubles.
A final chapters involve someone attacking Amane at the school by destroying her desk on a daily basis. The trio, with help from some of their friends, set up a trap only to find out another girl from Amane's village has arrived and is makin gher way by setting up curses.
Ugh, Amane gets less and less likeable. As I mentioned in my review of volume 2, Amane's cold and distant to Hyoue, but she gets warm and naive around people that she shouldn't trust. It's irritating, and I feel like grabbing her by the shoulders and giving her a good shake. Perhaps it'll put some sense in her head.
For someone who's supposed to be the most powerful demon protector and heiress of an ancient tradition, Amane's incredibly stupid, and we have yet to see her powers at work.
2 and a half stars-this was an okay volume. I'm still interested in the story, but there was just a little too much teenage/high school hijinks (angst?) in it for my taste. (Not surprising, considering I'm not the target audience).
Not a very exciting volume, but this wasn't enough to keep me from continuing with the series.
Series Review: He Majesty's Dog is a unique and entertaining manga that is well worth the read. It is funny and lighthearted while keeping a series plot. The characters are amazing as they each have very different personalities that work wonderful together. I definitely recommend giving this manga a try!
This volume was good but I think I liked the second more. The third volume tried to have tension but I don't think it was accomplished completely. The story still is interesting though and i definitely finished and wished I had the fourth.
Takeuchi san mentions that this is the first time one of her series has gotten to three volumes. She's a very accomplished artist for someone without much experience.
