This was better than the first, but still definitely underdeveloped. And the story basically just ends, there’s no greater plot or storyline with a conclusion. I did enjoy Kaito’s character more in this one, and Lulu, a blind pharmacist’s, character, though I’m iffy on that chapters ending.

The one shot at the end of the volume was very meh. The whole idea behind it was kind of annoying to me to begin with.

This book was really cute and well written because not only was the language sophisticated(enough) even though it's just a graphic novel but thew story was also thought out well and unique. And the characters are really lovable as well.
I think the second book was not as good as the first because i was a little sad that it was ending already and it had more extras but the chapters were longer so it did feel better that i was getting the rest of the story. I would recommend the two books that make the story up to anyone that likes fantastical things.

Aya, I am so glad your stories get a lot better. I loved the premise of the story & I know there is no way to see Renji save 10,000 souls, BUT the story just fizzled. Also, unless the soul was female, I'm not sure how he would go about saving the male souls. Anyway, what the heck was up with the mini story at the end "Dream Colored Junk?" It was okay, but I would rather have Renji save a few extras souls.

Frustrated.

I am so glad Otomen is way better.

soul rescue balances lighthearted fun with darker emotions rather well. the story continues to evolve as more people get helped/rescued. plots thicken, relationships develop, other relationships stall...
it's turning out to be a descent story.
