Saintia Sho volume 2 - Masami Kurumada and Chimaki Kuori

 The story continues, and it still is in the "anime adapted era" so not to much big reveals here.

Because they seemingly literally out the manga to anime form, which isn`t a bad thing mind you.

The 4 chapters in this volume thread upon two paths: on the one hand there is Shoko, send out by Athena with the Equuleus cloth for a crash training with a mythical saint.  This should get her up to speed, at least to fight for the godess, in a shorter time then the other saintia's did.

The second arc mostly is the still awakening Athena who is troubled by her destiny, and the lives she might get lost, and already has lost, in order to preserve the peace from the gods who have less nobler intentions with Earth and it's population.

This leads up to the first confrontation between Eris and Athena, neither awakened to their full potential, as Shoko suddenly appears.  As Kyoko interferes with her host, the Equuleus cloth accepts Shoko as it's wearer...

Another nice volume, and I really can`t repeat myself enough, I adore the drawing style of this series.  Clear and full of action, everything a Saint series should be about!

Now to get myself the next volumes of the series!
