Daemons of the Shadow Realm 05 | Hiromu Arakawa
1 post
Hiromu Arakawa, award-winning manga creator of the best-selling smash hit Fullmetal Alchemist, draws readers into an intricate new web of magic, intrigue, and life-or-death stakes! In a world where certain humans command mighty supernatural duos called Daemons, it is the birthright of "the children who sunder day and night"--twins Yuru and Asa--to rule over these powerful entities. Separated from a young age and unaware of the truth of their birth, brother and sister must fight to make their way back to each other, claim their birthright, and save the world... Ancient Daemons awaken to fight a new battle in an age-old war!! After a fierce scuffle against Long-Arm and Long-Leg, Yuru meets their timid master, Ken--who happens to be Dera's half brother! Ken reveals that his father had helped Yuru's parents go into hiding, prompting Dera to contact a shady shaman for more intel on the previous Tadera clan head. Meanwhile, another tragedy is about to befall Higashi Village, courtesy of a swordsman named Ivan Yosano...

I did the coffee & comics thing earlier with Hiromu Arakawa‘s latest series, which is great so far. She‘s always so good at introducing nuance and complexity; a valuable reminder that no one is ever defined by just one thing.

That said, I‘m pretty sure all the adults are more Bad News than not and the kids oughta ditch both sides and find their own path. We‘ll see whether they also come to that conclusion as things progress.
