Rasetsu, Vol. 5

Today’s post is on Rasetsu, Vol. 5 by Chika Shiomi. It is 200 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Rasetsu and Kuryu on it. As it is the fifth in the series you need to have read the first four volumes to understand the story. There is no foul language, no sex, and mild violence in this volume. He intended reader is someone who likes horror-comedy manga with a side of romance. The story is told from third person close of mostly Rasetsu but sometimes other character as needed for plot. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- Rasetsu is taken aback by Kuryu's kiss, especially because she likes Yako. But between Yako's inability to let go of his old love Yurara and her own curse in the way, can Rasetsu even confess her true feelings?

Review- Kuryu has made his move and Rasetsu is reeling from it. She had no idea but over the course of the volume she realizes that she did know and she lets him down easy because she is still trying to deal with her feelings for Yako, who is still in love with ghost Yurara. Ah, shojo romance. But we get some good plot details about the evil spirit that is haunting Rasetsu and that the boss of the company has fought with him before and lost badly. But in the end Rasetsu decides to tell Yako about her feelings and we have another cliffhanger with another kiss. This is a fun series with silly shojo drama to balance the darker elements. I look forward to seeing what Yako is going to do now that Rasetsu has told him the truth, more drama I’m sure!

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