It starts out pretty much the same as any other book in the series Usagi going on little adventures and righting small wrongs but this book also makes old rivalries establlished in the first volume continue. Usagi encounters Ino once again, who hasn't forgotten his vow to kill him and an even cooler new foe who takes the cliche, dead horse, completely predictable theme of deluded people thinking they can become(or are) God(s) and makes it entertaining again. Quite ann accommplishment. It kept me on the edge of my seat with excitement.
Before that there is a story I found to be both creepy and a tearjerker, (primarily the latter) called "A Mother's Love."
With an ending so tragic I had to set the book aside awhile just until I could get the nerve to finish it. I recommend this book although (as I failed to mention in my previous reviews) I don't believe this series to be appropriate for very small children although it is a comic book in black and white it's pretty clear what little pools of black ink flowing from an animal is supposed to represent.
The series also embraces japanese lore as well so be advised if you're sensitive about certain beliefs although they don't play an exactly large role in the story at all.
