Series continues to flounder.,

This review is from: Read or Die, Vol. 2 (R.O.D.: Read or Die) (Paperback)
Hideyuki Kurata, Read or Die!, vol. 2 (ViZ, 2000)Read or Die continues on its unfocused way in the second volume, though we've got the basics of what looks like a major story arc coming together in this volume. Yomiko is sent to an isolated prep school in England to work undercover for the National Library, who are looking for a lost collection of Chinese books said to encompass the entire knowledge of the ancient world. We encounter some old friends, some new friends, and a host of new enemies, and the actual writing looks as if Kurata's setting soemthing up, but there's still a frazzled, disorganized air to it all. I love the concept of this series, but the execution needs to get a lot tighter before it's ready for prime time. Maybe that's why it only lasted four volumes before getting an overhaul. ** ½
