Rozen Maiden, Volume 2

I found the first volume a little boring, but you must see the anime or pick up the first volume before reading volume 2. anyways... it was interesting and the art reminded me of W.I.T.C.H. (Comic Book), and hina Ichingo was absolutley a baby! this volume was very interesting although it centered around Hina Ichingo, this volume was the most interesting to me so far, I already have volume 1-4, and this was the most interesting to me, my manga collection builds up and I cannot wait to get my hands on DEARS, I cannot wait to get DEARS and Yotsuba & .

rozen maiden vol 2 picks up where the second one leaves off now this is an interesting series it does follow a very standard anime formula but even then it does it well there is a definate sense of menace about even the main character. what will happen when alice is born and who is the laplace no mia i guess we just have to wait to find out

...to find myself liking a PEACH-PIT title but, even after the warning I recieved concerning the group's work on DEARS, I decided to pick up a copy of volume one (don't start the series without checking it out as volume two picks up mid-crisis). {shock} Since then, I've been eagerly awaiting for volume two and more adventures of the agoraphobic Jun with the precise and almost imperial Shinku in her battles with Sugintou (though you don't get to see her much in this volume). The main addition to the cast in this book is Hinaichigo (Little stawberry?), a rather bratty Rozen Maiden whose master is an aquaintence of Jun's (and, no doubt, connected to the dark trauma afflicting him that has only been hinted at so far). Hinaichigo is a bit co-dependent (to the point of misusing her host), and when you have that in a supernatural being, you have to expect things to get a little out of hand... The art is soft and, for lack of a better term, delicate. Character design and dmensions shift to enhance and/or change moods fluidly (the sign of good plotting/writing). The story is brisk enough to keep you interested, while vague enough to maintain the certain degree of mystery required of such titles. Keep an eye out late in the book for the fourth Rozen Maiden to make her appearance (along with her own endearing personality quirk).
