Blood Alone Volume 2In Blood Alone, vol.2 by Takano, we learn just a lit­tle bit more about Kuroe and Mis­aki. In this entry, a blood­less corpse is found and Mis­aki may or may not be the cul­prit. An elder vam­pire named Hig­ure pays Kuroe a visit. Higure is cen­turies old but is often mis­taken for a teen because of his youth­ful looks. A deadly mis­take for some as he is one of the most pow­er­ful vam­pires in the city. Higure cites that there might be another vam­pire pro­vok­ing a fight over ter­ri­tory and politely asks Kuroe about Misaki’s whereabouts.

Then there’s another thread that starts with “Why Cry?” where Kuroe is asked to pro­tect an assas­sin work­ing for some secret gov­ern­ment agency. It seems this assas­sin is in need of Kuroe’s help because the bad guys that are after him are not human. We learn about the Ein­seigrad Sparuda. It’s an assas­si­na­tion guild made up of vampires. As the thread unrav­els, we learn that the assas­sin has a daugh­ter that went missing. This lit­tle com­pli­ca­tion gets even more inter­est­ing and that is where I shall leave off.

I loved this entry and thought the action in here was kick ass. I love Kuroe even more and his rela­tion­ship with Mis­aki is a just lit­tle bit more refined here. We learn a lot more about the past of both Mis­aki and Kuroe. This is a great series so far and I highly rec­om­mend them to you. I’ve already placed my pre­order for entry #3 because I don’t want to miss out as this last entry left some loose but very inter­est­ing threads. My grade, A.
