Draw your sword
Apparently life on the road with mild-mannered, lecherous medicine peddler Kyoshiro Mibu is never boring -- when attacked, he might just turn into the killer of a thousand men, Demon Eyes Kyo. And "Samurai Deeper Kyo, Book 2" has Akimine Kamijyo smoothing out his rookie bumps, even as he introduces some interesting new enemies -- both old and new -- for Kyoshiro/Kyo to deal with.Kyoshiro desperately tries to fend off the crazed Jimon without releasing Kyo, but when Jimon reveals the bloody extend of his obsession Kyoshiro stops trying to hold back the inner killer ("You got what you wanted. You woke me up!"). Jimon has a perfected, near-impossible technique to use against Kyo, and even if he defeats this guy, he's still got to deal with the incredibly creepy miko who has a message from his past.Then Yuya gets a chance to shine: She becomes involved in the fate of a young boy and his baby sister, who have become ensnared in a gang of thieves run by a cruel prostitute. Temporarily blinded, Yuya can't see to fire her gun -- but she may be able to take out the gang leader anyway.And after rescuing a little old lady from some thugs, Yuya and Kyoshiro learn that the old woman's home mountain is coveted by a local gang called the Kidou Clan. One of their assassins, the icy White Crow, gives the old lady three days to vacate her house -- but when he tells his master of Kyoshiro's creepy presence, another assassin called Black Scorpion decides to take the young man out. And I don't mean in a romantic way."Samurai Deeper Kyo Volume 2" is a smoother ride than the debut volume -- there's less frenetic flipflopping between comedy and gory action, and the two (or is it three?) main characters seem to have settled into their niches. And while he doesn't provide any answers yet, Kamijyo also drops more hints of the conflicts in Kyo and Yuya's pasts -- particularly a mysterious "he" that seems to inspire earthshattering rage in Kyo.Kamijyo also blends together humor ("But Demon Eyes Kyo is so SHY!"), drama and some heartrending moments (such as Kouta and his bizarrely tiny little sister). And the bloody action goes up a notch with the introduction of the Three Colors Gang -- not only do we have the bloody sword-swinging and slashing from Kyo and Jimon, but we have a guy who can spew thousands of poisoned needles from his mouth. I can only imagine what the other two are capable of.Despite seemingly being a wuss, Kyoshiro does demonstrate in this volume that he has a lot of courage -- he almost lets himself be beaten to death rather than endanger innocent villagers by releasing Kyo. He's still a huge lech, though -- and it turns out, so is Kyo. Yuya turns out to be less mercenary than she acts, and Jimon turns out to be WAY crazier than even those wide insane eyes would imply. To make it even more embarrassing, his great enemy doesn't even remember him ("Who the hell are you?")."Samurai Deeper Kyo Volume 2" smooths out the initial ripples of the series, and introduces some hyperpowerful new villains for the next time. This series is definitely fleshing out nicely.

It is comical
Chapters 6 - 14Boobs, boobs, and more boobs.If you get bored at every given moment a sneaky peak at a boob, then this series definitely isn't for you.The front cover featured Demon Eyes Kyo and he certainly looks drastically different from Kyoshiro Mibu on the front cover of volume 1.I am thoroughly enjoying the comical side with Kyoshiro (getting fired out of a canon, accidentally perving on a naked old lady) and then the vastly different Kyo with his immense blood lust.After the defeat of Jimon which was a battle continued over from volume 1. Izumo no Okumi unmasks a deeper anger within Kyo and his mission looking for "He".There is a never a shortage of action in Samurai Deeper.While Kyo is out of action, Yuya goes out of her way to protect a pair of orphan children bullied into pick pocketing by Kazura.Not long after, Kyoshiro meets his new enemies, the Three Color Gang and their employer Genma Kidou.
