by Kana Akatsuki, 暁佳奈, Suoh (Illustrator)

『ヴァイオレット・エヴァーガーデン』暁佳奈が贈る四季の物語、再び。

「汝の名は『夏』、春に続く者」――
　かつて、神々たる四季は、人間の一部にその力を与えた。春、夏、秋、冬。それぞれの季節を顕現する者は“四季の代行者”と呼ばれ、権能を得た彼彼女らは、人の身でありながら季節そのもの、つまり、現人神となった。
　時に黎明二十年、大海原に浮かぶ島国『大和』は激震に見舞われる。春の少女神、花葉雛菊の十年ぶりの帰還。過激派【華歳】による夏、秋への襲撃。そして、過去に類を見ない春夏秋冬の共同戦線。
　数多の困難を経て、勝利を収めた四季陣営だったが、ここで一つの問題が起きる。夏の代行者、葉桜姉妹が史上初の「双子神」となってしまったのだ。これは吉兆か、あるいは、凶兆か。季節は夏。いま再び、代行者たちの物語が幕を上げる。

This was a great volume. What I think I’m starting to appreciate most about this series is, while it has its fantastical elements and the author loves writing in metaphors and one-liners, the topics it ends up addressing are so universal. Sure, there may be a character who was saved by the season god’s incarnate, but the true core to her story is the isolation and frustration she feels at feeling she is both overly reliant and constantly living in her sister’s shadow. The middle chapter with Ruri grappling with her and Ayame’s new reality was beautifully written, and the twist at the end of that chapter had me audibly gasping. The prose and characters are just so lush, and I feel so engrossed and captivated as I read about them, even as the paragraphs run circles around their incessant ponderings. I’m definitely looking forward to the next volume and conclusion of this arc.

ดีว่าภาคที่แล้ว ดีที่แก้เรื่องการแบ่งบทให้ย่อยลงจำนวนหน้าแต่ละบทกระชับขึ้น เรื่องการตัดเข้า flashback นี่ก็เยอะอยู่แต่ไม่รำคาญเท่าภาคที่แล้ว ตัวละครเยอะขึ้นก็ยังเอาอยู่กระจายบทโอเค

Another fun part of the saga!! It’s sad that some bad things happen but I love how the story develops. Moving to the next volume go go go!

I am enjoying this series, but I don't know if it's the writing style or the translation that doesn't agree with me.

definitely still like it enough to continue at least

I loved the first two books so much I was skeptical on the focus switching to other characters in the series. But I loved just as much, if not more!!
