RG Veda Omnibus Volume 2

Perfect

As Yasha has been taken captive, Ashura and the others try to get to him while being under attack from Vahyu and his men. Kujaku performs Ashura's ascension with the sword to help him reach Yasha, but it also unveils the 'other' Ashura. Even so, our regular Ashura is lamenting over feeling unwanted, about how his mother tried to kill him, but by the end, he finds a purpose in protecting Yasha. Meanwhile, Lady Karura is still in shock and grief, thinking how much she wants revenge against Taishakuten, and how much is she willing to risk her own clan to do so. Queen Kendappa gets a fair share of the PoV in this volume, as she is the one to revive Karura, as well as witness many events happening in Zenmi palace. That general's daughter doesn't know who she is messing with, because I feel Kendappa may very well be the fourth General whose identity is secret. Speaking of secret identities, Kujaku is mystery still, and so are his motives. He seems to like Ashura and even more to tease Yasha, but Ryuu is right - his appearances and disappearances are weird. Also another character's motives slowly being hinted at is Taishakuten himself - who has something mysterious to protect with his tight tyrant fist. This whole volume is filled with a lot of mini-storylines and flashbacks, so we get to know the characters better. I am loving the whole thing, with the emotional arcs, with the sibling angels and everything so far.

Just start with any direction this book is damaged... everywhere. Not like mildly damaged but this is like someone played throwing knives on this, however the inner pages of the book are completely fine. I'd recommend not getting this book not because the story is bad, just because I got all 3 omnibus, and all were damaged 1 of them even after an exchange. Apart from all these the story is good.

Si saben inglés, este es un imperdible, al ser una de primeros trabajos de reconocidos de Clamp y primero en ser serializado por una editorial. Lo mejor de las ediciones Omnibus de Dark Horse es que se imprimen con un papel de máxima calidad. Desafortunadamente, a diferencia de otros omnibus de los trabajos de Clamp, no contiene ilustraciones a color.

Item shipped promptly and was as described. Very happy.
