Princess Hime gets a surprise visit for her pesky little sister who leaves them a feral present while a snobby vampire, who also attends the same school as Hiro and is also popular, crosses in her and her servants’ sights. If that wasn’t enough, Flandre brings home a strange android she befriended and there’s a string of murders involving a creature that possesses people. B+ (83%/Very Good)

I was the adapter for this (and all the other volumes.) Hope you enjoyed it!

Reiri joins the story, as we get a vampire character! I love playing up the classic rivalry between werewolves and vampires, but I hate that they're constantly calling each other "sluts". It's also weird that Reiri is constantly used for fanservice with constant upskirts, when the series has mostly been lacking that. You have her hanging upside down because, you know, she's a vampire... so of course her dress is hanging upside down too!!!
Chapter 9 is the best chapter of this series so far, starring Flandre and another android and introducing a new villain while fleshing out our little supporting droid.
The series is starting to come together with a bigger supporting cast and more detail on actual antagonists who want to fight Hime, but I'm still looking for any actual direction aside from the monster-of-the-week format.

In this volume we meet the little princess and her Frandlers and the sexy vampire who is not with us neither against us. A girl who nobody can understand her.

Super fun! This has all the action lol. Android's, werewolves, vampires, and one fight after another haha. I'm going to attempt to know the rest out.

I preferred this to volume one. We get Manga vampires, werewolves, fishmen and androids, plus the last story has an actually horrifying monster and a bit of suspense as everyone shelters in a storm.

Overall Rating: B+
Synopsis: Werewolves, demons, monsters, vampires. All these ferocious creatures are afraid of the same thing: Princess Hime, a gothic lolita warrior who fights off the forces off evil with a chainsaw, a wicked smile, and cutting remarks. Did I mention she also looks great in a tiara, and has magical powers that allow her to raise the dead? The story so far actually revolves around her undead servant, Hiro, who she resurrects after he is killed in a car crash. However, it's obvious the real star is Hime, and with Hiro and a supercute robot, named Flan, she kills the supernatural creatures her siblings send after her.
I didn't know what to expect from Princess Resurrection when I first picked it up, but I'm a sucker for gothic lolitas that kick ass (see Venus Versus Virus for another example). I'm interested in seeing how volume 2 plays out, but volume 1 was a lot of fun. Full of action and interesting characters, the plot unwinds a little slowly, but it feels like it's building out the world Hime lives in to give us a larger background. I already love Flan, Hime's robot sidekick, and Liza Wildman, the half-werewolf who attacks Hime because she mistakenly believes that Hime murdered her brother.
The series is shaping up to be a lot of fun, and I recommend it for when you're looking for something good that isn't too heavy of a read.

Princess Resurrection: Volume 2 is another fun book that I totally enjoyed. Having always liked anything to do with the occult, this series is right up my alley. After all, I was a huge Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel fan.
I am glad more characters, like Reiri, are joining Hime's crew. As for Hime, we learn that is not her real name. So, what is her real name? Well, that hasn't been revealed yet. I wonder what it is? And poor Hiro, dying in every book. He doesn't have much of a backbone, but I really like him as a main character. I do really enjoy reading about Flande as I find her to be such a cute little android.
As for the writing, it is quite good and filled with action and intrigue. The artwork isn't the most detailed, but that is okay with me. It really fits the style of this story.
The adaptation and translation from Japanese to English is pretty good. It could use a little tweaking, but overall, I was very happy with it.
Well, at least we got to meet one of Hime's siblings, Sherwood. It sounds like she has another sister out there and an undetermined number of brothers. I am sure we will get to meet them in the near future as they try to kill each other off to become ruler. That should be interesting and hopefully kind of scary.
Overall, Princess Resurrection: Volume 2 is anther excellent book in a series that I highly enjoy. I cannot wait to see what crawls out of the woodwork in Princess Resurrection: Volume 3. I bet it is something kinda creepy . . . at least I hope it is.
I rated this book a 9 out of 10.

Volume one of Resurrection Princess was a massive letdown and as much as I’d love to say that volume two redeemed this series for me, it really didn’t. I wouldn’t call it bad because it’s easy to read and I didn’t struggle to finish it but it is incredibly unoriginal and is cliche beyond belief. I swear I’ve read/watched almost this exact story multiple times. Now I don’t necessarily think cliche is bad, I’ve read many cliche books but the ones I’ve enjoyed have an original spin or at the very least compelling storytelling and interesting characters. Resurrection Princess has the most bland and generic characters, even the character design is forgettable! Just like the first volume, there is a pacing issue that also doesn’t help, and I think this is going to be a recurring problem. Fights end too quickly, characters don’t get nearly enough time to actually develop and, in volume two, there is a section that’s supposed to be somewhat emotional but I literally felt nothing because I feel no kind of attachment to any character! I even struggle to remember the names of everyone! There is potential here, I really like the monster towards the end but again there was no background, no development, and it’s over within a chapter. The monster wasn’t even given a name! As I said at the beginning it’s an average read and as I have the books I may as well continue reading, but there are far better books out there.
⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

This volume begins with Chapter 6-10.

Ta-ta Pretties!
