Black Bird Volume 2!!!

Black Bird's next hot issue, the second volume, was supposed to arrive in bookstores on November 3, 2010 (usually, I go to Borders, and I checked the bookstore catalog before I went there). I was super excited, and then went to the bookstore -- but it hadn't arrived yet :(. Today I went straight to the bookstore after I finished my school (it's day 3). So guess what happened?! There were still no new arrival manga! Still no Black Bird! And I impatiently waited 30 minutes for the assistant to find the book... Ughhh.. How exhausting was it?
But anyway, now that I've got my most favorite manga, I'm very happy. xD

Summary

Misao Harada, already in the unpleasant position of having to depend on the dreamy yet controlling demon Kyo for her very life, finds things further complicated by the arrival of the rest of Kyo’s tengu clan. The new arrivals (all male, each prettier than the next) include Kyo’s older brother, Sojo, whom Misao also knew as a child. On the plus side, Misao finds out that Kyo fought to take Sojo’s position as head of the clan, presumably in order to marry her, lending additional credibility to his declaration of love. Unfortunately, deceptively mild-mannered Sojo turns out to be a pretty sick guy who will do anything to destroy Kyo and take back what was his, placing everyone’s lives in peril.

This is a fairly eventful volume that packs quite a punch, both in terms of romance and melodrama. Sojo is a truly hateful villain who even abuses adorable little tengu Taro and his brothers–the general equivalent of kicking an uncommonly cute puppy–making him incredibly easy to despise. Revelations about Kyo’s past with Misao and the memories that were erased from her mind by Sojo’s magic create a dark, romantic tone that would be difficult for any hot-blooded shojo fan to resist, despite the story’s sexually-charged violence. Unfortunately, this volume’s final chapter destroys the one thing that had, until this point, kept its misogynistic overtones somewhat in check.
