The Water Dragon's Bride, Vol. 9

Today’s post is on The Water Dragon's Bride, Vol. 9 by Rei Toma.  It is 192 pages long and is published by Shojo Beat. The cover is an illustration of Subaru. 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, no sex, and mild violence in this book. The intended reader is someone who likes classic Japanese mythology stories. The story is told from third person close of the main characters. There Be Spoilers Ahead. 

From the back of the book- Kurose and the god of darkness conspire to take control of the emperor of Naga’s throne, and they have no qualms about using Asahi to do it! Worried for Asahi’s safety, the water dragon god decides it’s best to return her to her former world, but does Asahi want to go?

Review- The god of darkness really brings his villain a game in this volume with manipulative not only Asahi and her friends by the human he stole but what he is end game? The water dragon god is trying to protect Asahi, who doesn’t want to leave her friend in danger. So now they are on the run from another puppet of the god of darkness and that pushes Asahi and the water dragon god into a corner. With only two volumes left I have no idea how this is going to end or how it can really end well. 

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