Summary
A deluxe edition of Orochi， featuring all nine of the classic interconnected short stories by horror master Kazuo Umezz， the creator of The Drifting Classroom！
The second volume of Umezz’s classic horror manga begins with “Prodigy，” in which Orochi watches from the shadows while a baby boy matures and proves that you never know who someone will grow up to be。 In “Home，” Orochi accompanies a man home after an accident—but as they say， you can never go home again… Finally， in “Key，” the rules of good and evil are blurred for two families when Orochi moves into a new apartment。

Fantastic artwork but the stories were weirdly paced and somewhat bland to me。 I wonder why Viz chose to do a special edition of this over some of Umezu’s other works。

Safe to say that while the stories were interesting and I read them all I don't think I liked a single one of them， that is because in the first story of this second volume you visually see a child get stabbed in the throat。 That scene alone but a bad taste in my mouth I mean it all ends up working out in the end but seriously if your horror writing means showing a child getting stabbed that's not scary that is just straight up sick and not in a good way。 All these stories ending up involving ch Safe to say that while the stories were interesting and I read them all I don't think I liked a single one of them， that is because in the first story of this second volume you visually see a child get stabbed in the throat。 That scene alone but a bad taste in my mouth I mean it all ends up working out in the end but seriously if your horror writing means showing a child getting stabbed that's not scary that is just straight up sick and not in a good way。 All these stories ending up involving children and their behaviors most of it wasn't scary it was just alarming and unsettling。 This volume is not good in my eyes and left me feeling disgusted no wonder barely anyone has read this because horror should not involve children getting abused and harrassed in different ways。 I am unhauling both these first two volumes and I won't continue reading more。 I am revolted and angry that money was wasted on this purchase。 I will say though on a good note orochi's character is fascinating and how she ends up in other people's shenanigans does allow for some entertainment I just can't get over bad things happening to children that was something I didn't know going in。 。。。more

So that was definitely different from the first volume。 All the stories were focusing on children。 They explored something quite taboo I think in the way the children were having evilish tendencies， but not in the ghost spooky way， more in them being bad natured children。 I liked the stories well enough， but I think that after the first volume my expectations were a bit too high。Orochi is once again a curious character。 You can't help but wonder why she doesn't interfere at some crucial moments， So that was definitely different from the first volume。 All the stories were focusing on children。 They explored something quite taboo I think in the way the children were having evilish tendencies， but not in the ghost spooky way， more in them being bad natured children。 I liked the stories well enough， but I think that after the first volume my expectations were a bit too high。Orochi is once again a curious character。 You can't help but wonder why she doesn't interfere at some crucial moments， but I suppose it's all part of this mysterious storytelling vibe。 The fact that Orochi is quite the onlooker， being an outsider to the situation， really brings a different eye to the stories which I really appreciate。 You feel a bit more detached from the situation， like an observant， instead of being right into it， living the story。 It helps creating this "tale" vibe which I like a lot。Major trigger warning for child abuse， it's all through and through。 Quite distressing， but that's obviously the goal。If I'm not mistaken I think that there will be a third volume， which I will gladly read if I can。 。。。more

As Orochi once again drifts through the lives of humans， she encounters three separate tales of children caught in unimaginable circumstances。 Two， Key and Prodigy， are somewhat hopeful， while Home is a grim story of how no place stays exactly the same as you remember it， even in your dreams。 While all three pieces are strong， with Prodigy being the most striking， what's truly interesting is how Orochi tries so desperately to interact with people， to learn from observing them。。。and， somehow， nev As Orochi once again drifts through the lives of humans， she encounters three separate tales of children caught in unimaginable circumstances。 Two， Key and Prodigy， are somewhat hopeful， while Home is a grim story of how no place stays exactly the same as you remember it， even in your dreams。 While all three pieces are strong， with Prodigy being the most striking， what's truly interesting is how Orochi tries so desperately to interact with people， to learn from observing them。。。and， somehow， never quite manages to fully connect with what makes them human in the first place。 。。。more
