Nanoka, Mao, and his helper Otoya investigate the strange cult of Priestess Shoko in hopes of bringing her to justice, but cursed dolls and scrolls of eternal life may be more than they bargained for. Will the priestess's doomsday prophecy come true? Back in the present, Nanoka and friend-zoned Shiraha do some historical research that uncovers a cataclysmic event yet to occur in Mao's timeline. Then Mao's curiosity gets him on the wrong side of a group of bloodsuckers and in need of a rescue by Nanoka -- again!

Oct 31, 2021The first volume of this series had a few hiccups and made me really nostalgic for InuYasha, but the second volume is starting to establish this story as its own series. There are still some great horror elements like Mermaid Saga, where Takahashi takes something sort of "normal" and makes it more horrific. In this one, we have ghost/demon nuns, which we've seen before in horror, but to make them worse, they turn into giant mosquitos, still wearing the nun outfits, and they fly around, sucking the blood out of townsfolk. I also enjoy learning about some historical moments from Japan, even if they are colored a bit by the presence of demons. Read Full Review
