Review:
Jiro's test about his inner demons ends up being taken over by Rago's
past, which makes sense.
After that brief test, the group gets to go on their first real
mission together. A part of town is being controlled and attacked,
and the three split up to take care of the people in control of it.
Rago gets personally attacked during it, and then Reiji discovers a
person from his past involved as well.
I like Ichika's fight in this, as her battle ended up being
interesting to me. During all of this, Rago discovers something about
his connection with Jiro, which worries him more than Jiro. I'm
curious to see how they handle it, but also to see what Rago does.
Despite being a powerful mononoke, and how he possibly tried to stay
away from humans, he seems to grow attached and protective, and I
like that. I also find it interesting, given the connection between
him and Jiro. They seem like a good match.
I haven't read many action-based shonen in a while, and I'm enjoying
this one so far. I'm liking the characters, at least, so far.
