Onmyoji and Tengu Eyes Vol. 3: The Call of the Roaring Waves by Utamine, Yoshiko, art by Kazuki, Yone. Published by Cross Infinite World.
Third volume of this fun series! Volume 2 was focused on Misato’s past, and this one focuses on Ryouji’s, after a sizeable diversion in the beginning of the book dealing with an argument between Misato and Shirota (his spiritual familiar snake).
There are more emotional developments this volume, and it was even more touching than the previous books. I was really invested in the main conflict, and Misato shows off more of his awesome powers!
Poor Ryouji really gets put through the ringer in this book, and he ends up having to be saved. Between Volume 1 and 3, he’s really shaping up to be a cute damsel in distress (LOL).
There’s not a whole lot I can mention since it’s basically all spoilers, but I’m interested to see where this series goes from here. The characters have both worked through their troubled pasts by the end of this volume, so any future books will need to lean heavier on the actual cases the two deal with.
I wouldn’t be mad if there weren’t any further books (everything gets wrapped up satisfactorily), but I would love another book, if only so that we get more time with Ryouji and Misato working together and acting like an old married couple.
