Every once in a while, you need to have
some fun and read a manga. It’s a great way to unwind and forget about the
stress. Black Bird Volume 4 was
my ticket for some relaxation.
It’s been a
while since I read a manga book and I knew that it was a good time to treat
myself to some. So when I was at Barnes and Noble with my mom, I called up my
sister and had her help look up on GoodReads.com the last volume that I read of
both Black Bird and Vampire Knight. Since I wasn’t confident which was my last
Vampire Knight book and I didn’t want to skip too much in the series, so I went
back to Black Bird.
Black Bird is
an interesting manga which involves a girl who is being pursued by demons for
various reasons (either as a mate or for her blood). Miaso is starting to fall
for Kyo but she is also concerned that he actually loves her or and the fact
he’s a boy who can be a bit too sexual for her liking. Miaso then gets to meet a girl just like her
(who can see ghosts and is dating a demon as well) and Tadanobu. This meeting
brings her regret since she knows that Kyo must fight his best friend Tadanobu
because of her.
Black Bird
reminded med how much I miss my subscription to Shojo Beat. That was my
favorite magazine of all time. It had
serialized manga including Black Bird and Vampire Knight, crafts,
cooking ideas, and travel locations. It was such a neat magazine.
One of the
things I liked about this addition of Black Bird is how I get to learn
about Japanese culture. This time it was more from the author’s notes in the
side columns. There she was saying how she drew character names from Kabuki
plays and how even the plays the wolves were wolves.
