黄泉のツガイ 2 [Yomi no Tsugai 2] (2024)

Yuru is a direct character, so he makes a beeline toward the girl claiming to be his real sister. It's getting harder and harder to tell the good guys from the bad guys as a new faction comes into play while the previous two factions each seem to have their own share of angels and devils. So it's a bit of a muddle plotwise, but the action and strong central characters and their frequently cute or humorous daemon servants are carrying the day so far.

Ohhhh this is getting good!

Ce deuxième tome est clairement un cran au dessus du premier. On y retrouve autant d'action mais avec un déroulement plus claire. J'ai été beaucoup moins perdue que dans le premier tome, tout se met doucement en place. Les personnages sont approfondis notamment Asa que j'ai adoré découvrir ou encore Jin. On a même quelques révélations de faites . Sans parler de cette fin en cliffhanger vraiment terrible. Le scénario se met bien en place même si on retrouve des idées classiques comme les démons ou les jumeaux prophétiques. Je trouve que cela est bien mené par l'autrice et que l'histoire est vraiment très prenante. Maintenant je désespère juste de la sortie du prochain tome !

荒川先生のユーモアがやっぱり最高。

妹の癖は可愛いし、兄のリアクションが面白い、そして皆の突っ込みはいい。読むのは楽しい。でも、無料期限が終わった。。。ま～～～た待つことが始まった。

Extrait :
Pris dès sa sortie, la suite de Tsugai continue sur la lancée du premier, avec de l’humour, mais aussi des moments plus sombres dont Arakawa maîtrise depuis longtemps la réalisation. Les caractères des différents personnages sont toujours dans une certaine simplicité afin de ne pas complexifier trop vite la série. Même si elle donne l’impression de commencer un peu vite, en réalité, je trouve que tout va assez doucement, c’est juste qu’il faut bien introduire les personnages importants.

Yuru se retrouve, avec ses Tsugai, dans un parking souterrain, et finit par tomber dans un piège. Je ne sais pas dire s’il est courageux ou idiot, mais foncer dans le tas, sans réfléchir, alors que ni toi, ni tes Tsugai ne connaît le monde actuel, ce n’est vraiment pas malin. Dera et Hana ne tardent pas à remarquer son absence, et décident donc de le retrouver via les Tsugai de Hana. En attendant, un combat se lance entre les Tsugai de Yuru et les ennemis. Les pauvres, ils en prennent pour leur grade avec l’arrivée de nouveaux Tsugai. Une tortue pouvant modifier son poids, et un petit lapin agile et rapide, c’est tout ce qu’il faudra pour mettre un peu à mal les gardiens cardinaux. Eux qui étaient présentés comme très puissants, ne semblent pourtant pas l’être par moment… Est-ce qu’une partie de leur pouvoir est encore endormie ? Je ne pense pas que l’ignorance sur les évolutions technologiques joue en leur défaveur, c’est vraiment étrange.

In fine, Yuru finit par partir avec le groupe, notamment parce qu’il souhaite en apprendre plus sur ses parents. Asa ne souhaite pas lui mentir, et lui dira donc toute la vérité, aussi mauvaise soit-elle. D’ailleurs, elle répondra à toutes ses questions, et sa naïveté face à son frère est assez étrange, en décalage par rapport à ce qu’elle dégageait lors du tome précédent. Ils sont vraiment à l’opposée l’un de l’autre. Mais mon personnage préféré, pour le moment, reste celui qui a pour Tsugai le lapin et la tortue (désolé, mais le truc n’a pas une tête de lièvre). Il semblerait que beaucoup cherchent à obtenir les jumeaux, reste à savoir qui sont vraiment les alliés dans tout ça… Le groupe d’Asa ne semble pas méchant, mais rien ne dit que c’est le cas de tous et du chef.

[...]

J'aime vraiment cette mangaka. Elle sait créer des monstres horrifiants. Les grands vilains sont encore invisibles, mais on les devine déjà qui manipulent l'arrière-scène, et n'hésitent pas à sacrifier leurs pions.

J'aime ses héros aussi. Ils sont difficiles à décrire, car ils sont loin du cliché du "garçon un peu idiot et inexpérimenté, au grand coeur" et de la "fille intelligente qui soigne". Le frère Yuru est au contraire fort habile avec les armes, redoutable au combat (tome 2). Et sa soeur Asa a déjà démontrée sa puissance et sa détermination (tome 1).

Arakawa sait mettre de l'humour également: que l'on pense aux surprises de Yuru devant le monde moderne; aux demandes d'affection d'Asa; ou aux tsugaï (mention spéciale au lièvre et à la tortue). Ces touches de sourire sont nécessaires, car comme dans Fullmetal Alchemist, les combats sont violents, et les victimes nombreuses.

On commence tout juste à dévoiler l'histoire des jumeaux, et c'est très intrigant. Vraiment une série fascinante, d'une mangaka expérimentée qui sait comment raconter et dessiner!

This was a step up from the previous volume, but still feels a bit like we are in a very prologuey stretch. A lot of characters spend a lot of time explaining things, and I still feel like I don't quite know what is going on besides, magical twins are desired by cool warring factions. Thankfully, the style, action, and characters make the book a lot more enjoyable. In this volume, Haru fights Jin and co. and decides to visit Asa at the compound where she lives. Then we find out that their parents after escaping the village, disappeared on a flight to Okinawa, their mother's home. A mysterious group of mercenaries then show up and attack the compound before Asa uses blood to make one of the pairs her own so they can find out what's going on. Once they tidy things up, she informs Haru that she died once at the hands of a Higashi Village assassin. When she explains it, Haru thinks back on how he too was attacked by one.

I feel like if I was reading this monthly it'd be annoying. But the manga volumes are fun and exciting, and so far I'm really liking the whole cast of characters.

I did not realize this series was by the same crator as Fullmetal Alchemist but it makes sense! There was something familiar about it but I couldn’t put my finger on it.

I’m here for Yuru and Right and Left! Jin seems interesting too, but that’s pretty much the extent of my interest in the characters so far…except maybe the mysterious swordsman. Hopefully I don’t get lost in the growing cast of characters because I just have trouble remembering large casts.

Yuru is an absolute badass! I want more of him fighting! And his straightforward personality’s got me hooked! I’m pretty invested in the main storyline with my fingers crossed that things don’t go too off the rails before we get to the end, whenever that is.

[I don’t normally stumble across a series that’s fairly new and this one only has 6 volumes so far. It makes it feel like it’s taking forever for them to get to where I live. I guess it helps with the excitement though!]

4.75/5
'Daemons of the Shadow Realm Volume 2 continues on the great momentum of the first volume. Yuru has been captured by people that appear to be his enemy at the beginning of the volume but Yuru quickly learns that they are the people who have been harboring his twin sister. He decides to go along with them if it means seeing his long lost twin.
I really appreciated Asa's introduction and her dynamic with Yuru. Her fascination with the brother she hasn't seen for years feels warranted but also leads to some funny moments. Arakawa does an exceptional job of balancing character moments, action, and comedy. We get a few interesting world/character nuggets that feel like they will be further expanded on in the future.
It's painful to have to wait for volume 3 because this series is that good.

This was much better paced that the opening volume. Yuru has tracked down his sister Asa and her clan while leaving behind his guardians. His daemons Left and Right are with him. Asa creeped me out with her enthusiasm upon meeting him and it seemed to do the same for Yuru.

Naturally enemies attack and that's mostly what this volume is about, them fighting each other first (and Yuru is a hard core bad ass) and then with each other against the common enemy. There is a lot more to learn about this world and I do like Yuru so I'm looking forward to more though I'm still on the fence about this one. I'm hanging in there because it's Arakawa's.

C'è ancora parecchia confusione. I due gemelli prima sembrano nemici ed ora amici.
La famiglia Kagemori sembra non avere intenti omicidi verso Yuru, ma ancora non si capisce dove vogliono andare a parare. I due finiscono per trovarsi sotto lo stesso tetto, dai Kagemori.
Yuru cerca principalmente i gentiori scomparsi, Asa rivela di essere morta una volta per mano di un sicario di Higashimura.

Nel prossimo volume dovrebbe esserci qualche spiegazione maggiore sul passato di Asa e del suo potere. Da verificare come prosegue la storia.

I disegni sono puliti come sempre, un pò troppe vignette con dialoghi lunghi che creano confusione nelle tavole.

Arakawa never disappoints. I loved vol. 1 and I enjoyed this one as well. And of course I have always loved Fullmetal Alchemist, it’s my number 1 favourite manga series, actually series ever, not just in manga, and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is my most favourite anime ever. The only other series I have read by her is Silver Spoon, but I have only read vol. 1 so far and it was 4 stars.

Al principio no entiendes absolutamente nada, ahora tampoco JAJA pero es que te van dando la información de los misterios por cuenta gotas y las conversaciones con los personajes son súper encriptadas. Yuru y Asa me parece que son la leche y bueno, tiene un poquito el humor que tenía Fullmetal, a mi siempre me ha gustado, si sois de los que no le econtrasteis la comedia pues xD

En general yo creo que merece bastante la pena leerlo al menos.

An excellent second volume! Questions raised in the first volume are answered, but not before raising more questions. The action scenes were excellent. As Arakawa's specialty, this volume had a great blend of gory action, comedy, and heartfelt moments. It starts the main character on the path that I think will be the overarching "quest" of the entire series. I look forward to volume three!

Me encanta la manera ligera en la que se lee este manga. Las ideas, los personajes, la acción. Es un no parar de succesiones que te hace seguir la trama totalmente predispuesto a lo que venga.

Cada vez que cojo un tomo me sorprende lo bien que se lee. Y si ya conocéis a la autora y os gusta, ya sabéis.

5 Stars

Just two volumes in and already so many characters to love, so much fun world-building (the pairs concept gets even cooler in this instalment!) and so many little mysteries! Wish I had the entire series in my hands right now because I'm already convinced this is going to be a fave.

3,5

Besser als Band 1, der Humor und die Action Szenen waren toll. Allerdings bin ich von der Gesamthandlung immer noch verwirrt und viele Fragen werden nicht beantwortet 😔 ich hoffe das regelt sich in den nächsten Bänden.

This series is ramping up, this volume even better than the first. The worldbuilding has been fun and interesting, and the Daemons have been creative and really cute in their smaller forms. Gabriel and the yinyangs are wonderful. Can't wait for the english release of volume 3!

Seriamente...ma come fa il protagonista a ignorare il massacro che sti tizi han fatto al suo villaggio?
No ma tranquillo, prenditi pure il the con sti tizi...mah...sia lui che la sorella hanno qualche problema serio mi sa...

I can really feel the Fullmetal vibes. There were there in the first volume, but the second was quite a bit more, with characters' mannerisms, the art style, it beought back so much nostalgia vibes but also being it own great series so far! One that I cant wait to continue!

It's a bit more violent than Fullmetal (at least from what I remember of the manga) but I'm still loving it. There's a reason Fullmetal is one of my favs and it's definitely because of Hiromu Arakawa. She's so funny and so creative and ugh. Fantastic.

Excited for more

3 1/2 stars.

Not as strong as the first volume, but still interesting enough that I'll pick up the third. Arakawa's sense of humour is always strong so while this is no FMA, it's still decently well entertaining.

Just as good as the first book, this second volume helps unraveling some of the mysteries while still keeping the reader invested in the main plot. Excited to read volume 3!

I just cannot see the MC has anyone but Alphonse Elric.

I am still enjoying this, but I’m wondering when we get to the part where Gabu-chan’s slaughter of the villagers in volume one is covered.

I mean, Arakawa never misses. Great book
