.Hack//Legend of the Twilight Volume 2

.Hack: //Legend of the Twilight, Vol. 2 By: Tatsuya Hamazaki Shugo and Rena continue their adventures through the MMPORPG known as "The World". As far as the story thus far goes, if you haven't read Volume 1, why are you reading Volume 2? Anyway, this manga contains Logins 7-12. And below is a brief summary of each of the Logins without ruining the whole story (hopefully). Login 7: A Passing Shower: Shugo and the gang are out catching rays on the beach when Ouka arrives with information about a secret event in a haunted mansion. As the gang works to clear the mansion, they travel back to Mac Anu for the fireworks show, when a familiar looking face turns up in the middle of the celebration. Login 8: A New Resolve: With the appearance of Zefie, Aura's "daughter" so appears a group called the Cobalt Knight Brigade, a band of warriors dedicated to keeping peace in The World no matter the cost. Shugo is now determined to see Zefie back to Aura although the Knight's have other plans for her. Login 9: On/Off Coin: A new root town appears and the gang takes this opportunity to travel there and question other players about the possible whereabouts of Aura. They also learn about a strange event that occured 4 years ago that has been hidden by the CC Corporation. Login 10: The Players are Thinking: As the quest to find Aura rages on, Rena grows ever more jealous of Zefie. Shugo is also being watched by someone up the ladder of CC Corporation. Login 11: 4 Years Ago: The gang starts to learn about the events of 4 years ago and the connection to Aura and Zefie. Balmung receives punishment for disobeying orders as the Cobalt Knight Brigade tracks Shugo, a now branded cheater in The World. Login 12: Cheating: Shugo and his friends are arrested for cheating in The World and are thrown in prison. Now with the possibility that all of their characters will be deleted, will they be found innocent...will they break out of jail...what's gonna happen? Well, just read and find out for yourself. I love this manga, it's as well drawn as the first one which is exceptionally well. And the opening pin-up drawings are very nice as well. You'll definetly enjoy this one if you enjoyed Volume 1. Hopefully I haven't ruined the story for you.

What really interested me was that the manga (book) was actually made before the anime and games in Japan.

I read the first one the same day that I bought it and couldn't even put it down until I was finished. I then bought the second one and can't wait until the next one is released in Canada. I started playing the PS2 games and was instantly hooked as well. This lead to me buying the .hack//sign series and there I was instanly entranced, the anime is simply beautiful and amazing. I personaly loved all of it and although these are series that not every one would enjoy I still recommend watching/reading/playing and you never know, you might become hooked just like me.

This manga helps you to understand the .Hack series although i would suggest getting the game first it realy doesnt matter. I was hooked the day i bought the first book i finished it that day. although the animation is sd it fits the story somewhat. This is a must have on your manga shelf!

I bought the first and second book to this series and i just love it! The drawings are so cute! *huggles her manga*
