Dragon
Eye: Volume 2 ended with Squad Zero separated in the tunnels
battling Dracules. The
battles continue Dragon Eye: Volume 3 as Issa and Sôsei find
themselves in a large cavern with hundreds of Dracules. Meanwhile, Hibiki,
Leila, Kajiyami, Sazanami, and Nanbu find themselves in a similar
situation. While trying to find Issa and Sôsei, they stumble across a
large contingency of Dracules. Using light-up chopsticks, they are able
to kill a few of these infected beasts. Kajiyami is then able to light
up the cavern with a device that will give them light for six minutes.
Hibiki takes over and the battle begins. He proves to the rest of Squad
Zero why he was chosen to be the new sub-commander of Squad Zero and
begins killing Dracules left and right. Back with Issa and Sôsei, they
overhear the Dracules talking about going out and destroying a village.
Knowing that they must save the village, Issa steps forward and claims
that he is Leda, a well-known Dracule. At first, some of the other
Dracules doubt him, and his kills them with his bare hands. Taking
advantage of their confusion, both Issa and Sôsei attack the Dracules in
a massive melee. Will any of Squad Zero be able to stand against such
overwhelming numbers? Or will Squad Zero become just that . . . a big,
fat zero.
Dragon
Eye: Volume 3 is written and drawn by Kairi Fujiyama. This story was
Translated and Adapted by Mari Morimoto and Lettered by North Market
Street Graphics. This manga book has the following Missions (chapters):
Mission Seven: The Leader of the Rabid
Mission Eight: A Stratagem with Low Odds
Mission Nine: The Man Once Known as Leda
There are
also some sections in the book for: A) Honorifics Explained, B) Extras,
C) Translation Notes, and D) Preview of volume 4, although
the preview is in Japanese. The book reads from right to left and back
to front, just like a book from Japan. This manga book is intended for
readers ages 13 and up.
I love a
manga book with a lot of fighting scenes. And Dragon Eye: Volume 3
is just that. The entire book is one long battle in the tunnels with the
Dracules. I did enjoy that we got to learn a little more about Issa's
past when he lived with the Dracules. The creator has hinted of it in
past books, but this is the first glimpse of Issa's life with them. What
I find humorous about the Dracules is that most of them look like cute
Pokémon. They look kind of cuddly, like you want to hug them. But you
shouldn't let appearances deceive you. These Dracules are quite vicious,
although they seem kind of stupid. The fight scenes are exciting and
action-packed, and them made me smile while reading the book. Overall,
Dragon Eye: Volume 3 is another excellent story, although not a
lot of plot is involved in this one, and I highly enjoyed it. Since
Squad Zero is still in the tunnels when this book ends, I cannot wait to
see if they get out alive in Dragon Eye: Volume 4. I wonder what
will happen . . .
I rated
this book a 9 out of 10. |
