Goblin Slayer, Vol. 2 (Manga)
by Kumo Kagyu
Turning down the rape and turning up the killing, it's time for the Slayer to face a new enemy!
So Goblin Slayer continues the adventure of the man on a mission to kill Goblins. When some new people come into town looking to recruit the man, he gives them a big fat NO. However, when they mention it's to clear out a goblin nest he goes for it. This time though he is with a group of people who can stand and fight for themselves. Together they go into the nest but what lays deep in a the cave might not be a Goblin at ALL!
Good: The art remains polished and brutal. The deaths, especially when chopping up Goblins, is amazing. The volume successfully gives stakes to a strong as main character by showing some weakness. Also, cool to see how the other characters are able to fight. I also appreciated they didn't have to show a rape scene to imply what had happened in one scene and still feel the need to kill every fucking Goblin around. Was nice.
Bad: I think a lot of the characters act way to over the top in such a vicious world. Also, the Deux Ex Machina shit at the end was a bit odd, even though it looked cool. Also, lots of ass and tits shots still, better than 1, but fan service still a little annoying.
Overall, solid. I believe I liked it better than 1. While not a full 4, it's a 3.5 out of 5. I'll push it to a 4 because I was pretty engrossed reading through it.
