Yurara Vol.2

There is very little change in the forumla in this volume.

Yurara realizes she likes Mei, and she thinks that just maybe he might like her, but she thinks it’s only because of her Gaurdian Spirit self. Not just plain old Yurara.

It’s made more than ovbious that Yako is interested in Yurara and jealous that it’s so ovbious that she likes Mei.

I guess the only eventfull thing that happens in this volume is that, her other self goes into hiding because a perverted spirit won’t leave her alone and the gang has to solve it, short of their major player.

Oh, and she tells Mei that she loves him and at the very end he tells her he loves her too.

You may be wondering, you don’t really seem to like this series, why are you reading it?

Well, simply put, i love the OTHER Yurara, also. she’s a great character, i love her design and her won’t take shit from nobody attitude. She saves this series for me.

Hopefully, the male leads will develop more and the series will get a plot. Cuz this jumble of ghost stories, aren’t really scary, or funny, or memorable.

Yurara vol.1

I read the first chapter in Shojo Beat. and i thought that it was the shit. This is the series that made me hunt down everything that Chika Shiomi has published in America. However….upon getting the actual first volume home with me…i was not as impressed.

Yurara is a highschool girl, who has always had the ability to see the spirits of the deceased who have, for some reason, not passed on into the other world.

On her first day of highschool, she is attacked by a spirit who’d been haunting a desk by the window where a boy commited suicide after being wrongfully accused.

Yurara also meets two boys. A blonde who’s quiet and serious and a brunette who’s flirty and outgoing. Neither one of them are that interesting and the for a “romantic thriller” it’s lite on thriller and lacking any believable romance.

Yurara, is shy and pretty much boring, but when faced with this evil spirit, she transforms into a darkhaired bombshell who  “ain’t scared of no ghost!”

To solve the case, she has to transform.  Mei and Yako, also have spiritual powers and help her out. But Mei, is very ovbiously attaracted to Yurara’s other self. Each chapter, a ghost presents itself and the gang solves the mystery.

It’s kind of boring. But, it’s not bad. I just wish it would go somewhere or stop going in such predictable circles.
