Rasetsu, Vol. 9

Today’s post is on Rasetsu, Vol. 9 by Chika Shiomi. It is 208 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover has Rasetsu and Yako on it. As it is the ninth in the series, you need to have read the first eight volumes to understand the story. There is no foul language, mild sexuality, and mild violence in this manga. The story is told from third person close of Rasetsu. There Be Spoilers Ahead. 

From the back of the book- When the evil spirit shows up on Rasetsu’s birthday as promised, Rasetsu and her friends engage in a final showdown against it. Will Rasetsu be able to defeat her demon and live? Or will this birthday be her last?

Review- An excellent conclusion to this series. All answers are given and the happy ending for this dark story is well earned. Rasetsu and friends are finally facing down the evil spirit who wants to eat or something to Rasetsu for her power. Kuryu has been revealed to be dead all this time and now he is being used by the bad guy to try and take Resetsu. She has to remember everything that she has learned in the past five years and Yako has to choose to love her with all his heart. The final showdown is very good with all the characters facing their weaknesses and overcoming them. I really enjoyed this series, the characters were fun, the story was interesting, and the art was good. Shiomi is an excellent manga author and I look forward to reading more from her. I would recommend this series. 

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