Pretty artwork and a puzzling beginning. Dreaming of a better future. But the Noggo have infected the world and Aki is really only dreaming! She has been dreaming for months. 

In the meantime, with the veil between the worlds of the magical Kami and humans gone, an army of shadow warriors, the Yamibushi, was created and proceeded to kill all living things it encountered.

The army’s creator wants to defeat the Shōgun and, I guess, become Shōgun himself. There is more happening, but I don‘t want to spoil it.

I really like the direction the plot takes in this volume. The first volume was set-up, here we get some real story telling. And it nicely ties together storylines of the previous issue.

Some of the artwork in this is really excellent, for example the armour of the Yamibushi. The details are very well done in many of the panels. I also really liked the allover colour scheme.

Good one, I will continue!

Yamibushi apocalypse is averted but Aki playing hefty prize. While interim calm has returned, happy endings are still far away.
