After rushing quite rapidly over the span of a year, the author is now drawing out the lead-up to Rasetsu's anxious birthday rather tediously.

Today’s post is on Rasetsu, Vol. 8 by Chika Shiomi. It is 192 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Rasetsu and Kuryu on it. As it is the eighth volume in the series you need to have read the first seven volumes to understand what is going on. The intended reader is someone who likes urban fantasy, light horror, and light romance. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this manga. The story is told from third person close of Rasetsu and Yako. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- Rasetsu's entire body becomes covered with rose marks as her curse overwhelms her! Can true love really save her, especially when Yako meets his old love face-to-face and Kuryu seems to be grappling with a dark secret?
Review- With only a month left until the evil spirit comes for Rasetsu, she is beginning to lose hope. So she is attracting evil spirits to herself and that affects Kuryu in an odd way. His story really comes into focus in this volume with some answers about what his power really is and what he paid to get it. Yako and Rasetsu finally start to realize how they feel about each other and Yako has made himself strong enough to face the bad guy. The volume ends with the evil spirit showing himself and the final battle about to begin. I have enjoyed this series so much and I am look forward to seeing how it going to end.
I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.

Not surprised by the events at the end but was surprised by the creep factor in this volume. Ack!
And now, in the immortal words of Jane's Addiction, "Here we go!!"

Despite the mutual turn at the end of volume 7 both Rasetsu and Yako have to come to terms with some extra baggage left over before they are free to love each other.
Kuryu on the other hand comes fact to face with the true price of what happened to him. While he leaves almost unhinged, Yako conquers his inner doubts and helps Rasetsu, confessing to her without ever having known that a freely given love was the one thing the evil spirit told her as a condition of possibly getting free of it.
With this and further hints the group faces the dawn of the day when the evil spirit will return - to be conclusively fought in the last volume.

Pre Review: Ohhh my beautiful sweet precious. Soon I will devour you whole! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
We apologize in advance for any Gollum-like tendencies regarding this series. All problems, rest assured, will be dealt with accordingly
Review:
I totally didn't want it to be true, but it was.
ALL OF THE SAD.
But at the same time I cannot help but like the brilliance of this plot twist.
AH!
5/5
