The Water Dragon's Bride, Vol. 8

Today’s post is on The Water Dragon's Bride, Vol. 8 by Rei Toma.  It is 181 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Kurose and the god of darkness on it. It is the eighth in the series, so you need to have read the first seven to understand the characters. There is no foul language, no sex, and mild violence in this book. The intended reader is someone who likes shojo manga, manga with dark villains, and mythology.  The story is third person close of the main character, Asahi. There Be Spoilers Ahead. 

From the back of the book-  Asahi is captured by a human who’s using the god of darkness to take over the world! Trapped in the underworld, Asahi resolves to figure out the true intention of this ruthless boy while the water dragon god and Subaru form a tag team to try and save her! 

Review- At last a real villain has appeared for this series. A god of darkness who has a human, like the water dragon god, but this one is full of malice and enjoys tormenting all around it. Asahi is able to escape  them but then we learn how the human Kurose came to be in the god of darkness’ power. I am very curious to learn if the darkness god is really as bad as it seems or if it is just innocent to the harm of its curiosity and power. But Kurose has been badly damaged from life so he is drawn to darkness and that will be his cross to carry. Only three volume left so I am curious about how this is going to wrap up. 

I give this book a Four out of of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money. .
