Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan, Vol. 23 by Hiroshi Shiibashi
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
It's been three years since I read the previous volume and now I'm finally catching up on reading the last three in the series. Unfortunately, jumping back in with V23 left me feeling quite lost. I basically didn't have a clue what was going on. It's a good thing this volume was a big battle from start to finish as it allowed me to get a feel for the characters again while starting to remember bits and pieces as I went along. The plot moved ahead only a little bit and I'm hoping I'll feel more clued in with the next volume.

Getting back into this and feeling the excitement! The battle of the 99 Demons works it's way to the final battle and Riku ends up meeting another 1/4 yokai.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A satisfying if brief ending to a long manga series. The main story is only two chapters long and ends on page 134. Following that are several bonus stories. I'm writing this review before I read the end material. I was caught up in the action and read this very quickly as it was a battle from start to finish. There is a reveal which I was very pleased with and I enjoyed the happy ending. Pretty much all characters make an appearance even if briefly. My enjoyment was probably dampened a bit by reading these last three volumes so many years after I'd followed the rest of the series on publication. But still a good satisfying ending and a manga series I will most likely binge read in a few years.
