Inu x Boku SS #2
Inu x Boku SS, Vol. 2 (Inu x Boku, 2)
The elite and beautiful Ririchiyo Shirakiin has a bad habit--she can't help but lash out at people with her vicious tongue, all while hiding behind a mask of haughty cool. This attitude has a lot to do with people minding her business because of the Shirakiin family name, but it troubles Ririchiyo to no end. In search of independence and solitude, she moves to the Maison de Ayakashi, an apartment building full of wealthy tenants and with its own Secret Service. Ririchiyo is eager to be alone, but upon her arrival, she is greeted by Soushi, an SS agent arranged for her by her parents. Ririchiyo tries to turn Soushi away, but Soushi's dogged devotion to his new mistress will not be deterred. The threat against the residents of the Maison de Ayakashi are not to be taken lightly, after all. And despite his puppy-like demeanor, Soushi is not to be trifled with either...

Ririchiyo is scared of getting hurt again after everything that has happened to her. Although she is rich and beautiful, she was never loved by her family. And it was all because of what she was born into, because of what she was. In order to avoid getting hurt, she hides her true self while using attitude and saying the opposite of what she feels. Later on, she moves to Maison de Ayakashi, where she meets Soushi. She feels that she will no longer need to be alone, but will she get hurt?
Soushi is hilarious and loyal, even though he is so weird.
Ririchiyo is such a great character and I feel so bad for her, she went through so much. In this volume, we learn more about Soushi, and he has also been through a lot. I am so happy for both Ririchiyo and Soushi, and I hope the next few volumes are filled with happiness. I love Karuta so much, she is such a cute and fun character. I love the fact that she loves food and she cares about her friends. Banri is also great, I love his transformation into the raccoon, it is hilarious. Natsume makes me laugh with his small tales about bunnies. I love these characters so much, they are all so unique!
The bonds between these characters are really strong. Soushi and Ririchiyo had a bond before they even met and I think that is really cool. Banri and Karuta are so sweet and care for each other, I want to see them be very happy!
I love this series, the pacing is really fast, and it's hard to stop in the middle of the volume! So far, it is filled with so many surprises and I can't wait to catch up to where I was in the anime.
I recommend this series to everyone! I am going to run and read the next volume right now! See ya in the next review!

While I loved the introduction to Inu x Boku SS, I'm not at that level for this volume. Make no mistake, this story still means a lot to me.
To me, Fujiwara has done more than pen a tale of typical romantic angst that's very common in manga. I love how she focuses more on how humans become connected and the beauty of it. In particular, I adore the scenes with the Maison de Ayakashi crew all together because they're like a family. The first chapter with Ririchiyo, Karuta (or Carta in the Yen Press translation), and Banri becoming friends was a perfect example of that.
But that doesn't mean I don't adore the Ririchiyo and Miketsukami/Soushi scenes. I ship them so much, and their dynamic of girl and Secret Service agent has always been a complicated one. I liked how it was tested this volume with the appearance of Kagerou , and I also really liked learning about Miketsukami's past once more. Man, do I feel bad for him.
One last thing: the villains in this series so far are a lot more complex. Kagerou and Soushi do have some villainous characteristics that get revealed, but they are also incredibly human and flawed and are more than just unforgivable people. Their flaws come from real pain and make me empathize with them.

Woow... Cuteness overload: Watanuki&Roromiya Karuta... Ririchio&Miketsukami Soushi...
That Kageru guy is crazy! I hate his personality but he is hilarious too.
Shoushi's past life was touching. Very intersting transformation for him.

(stejn¨¢ recenze u v?ech d¨ªl?)
...??? C¨ªt¨ªm se naprosto zmaten¨¢. V?bec nech¨¢pu, co se asi od 15 kapitoly d¨§lo. Sice jsem to potom n¨§jak pochopila, ale i tak tam bylo spousta v¨§c¨ª matouc¨ªch. A absolutn¨§ jsem netu?ila, pro? se to d¨§lo.
Kresba vypadala kr¨¢sn¨§. I kdy? spoustu ?asu tam byly zjednodu?en¨¦ "chibi" postavi?ky, co? byla trochu ?koda, ale i ty vypadaly vzhledov¨§ hezky a hlavn¨§ roztomile. Hodn¨§ se mi l¨ªbilo oble?n¨ª a jeho r?znorodost, na druhou stranu mi moc k n¨§jak?m charakter?m nesedlo, p?edev?¨ªm k hlavn¨ª hrdince, jen? se obl¨¦kala pom¨§rn¨§ vyz?vav¨§ a p?itom byla dost stydliv¨¢.
Vlastn¨§ skoro v?echno oble?en¨ª bylo "fanservice" :D. A toho fanservisu tam bylo dost, co? mi tro?ku vadilo. i kdy? n¨¦ zas tak moc, jeliko? m¨§ ten p?¨ªb¨§h moc nezaj¨ªmal. :D
Te? u? k samotn¨¦mu p?¨ªb¨§hu. Prvn¨ªch 15 kapitol m¨§ celkem bavilo. A od tohoto momentu m¨§ to p?estalo bavit, jeliko? jsem absolutn¨§ netu?ila, o co jde.
Takt¨¦? mi p?i?la divn¨¢ Soushiova posedlost Ririchiyo, jeliko? mezi nimi byl sedm let rozd¨ªlm a ke v?emu musela vypuknout o dost d?¨ªv¨§, kdy? bylo Riri o kolo osmi let. D: Ale na druhou stranu mi to v?bec nevadilo, jeliko? nevypadali na sv?j v¨§k. :D
Mimochodem jsem si asi nikoho z postav neobl¨ªbila neobl¨ªbila. Jako ze za?¨¢tku jsem m¨§la sympatie n¨§jak tak ke v?em, ale po t¨¦ 15 kapitole, kdy vypukl naprost? zmatek, se m¨¦ sympatie za?aly vytr¨¢cet.
Konec p?¨ªb¨§hu mi p?i?el taky divn? (jak p?ekvapiv¨¦ :D). Ale h¨¢d¨¢m, ?e byl na sv¨¦ pom¨§ry pom¨§rn¨§ dobr?. I kdy? absolutn¨§ nech¨¢pu p¨¢rov¨¢n¨ª a vztahy mezi v?emi, jeliko? na tom konci to bylo v?e divn¨¦ (jako tahle v¨§ta, kter¨¢ ned¨¢v¨¢ smysl :D).

I began this shortly before I spent a month in the hospital and then rehab. When I went in, I still nursed the illusion that I had infinite time for reading. That illusion is gone.
When i returned home I picked this volume up and read roughly half of it. I decided that I didn't want to commit to finishing it and the nine following volumes. They are reasonable manga both art and story wise, but I prefer to spend my time on other literature.

Have to read for Miketsukami's story. It was beautiful and and sad.
And I'm also surprised that he was so much older... Fits in with all the other pervy characters I guess, but no, seriously, his back story is good.
I think I like Roromiya more than Ririchiyo. She is too cute and loyal and kind.

Questo manga comprende un totale di 11 volumetti che grazie alla Star Comics ¨¨ arrivato in italia nel lontano 22 Gennaio 2015. A oggi ne sono usciti 5, il 6 uscira domani e narra la storia della giovane Ririchiyo, erede della facoltosa famiglia Shirakiin.
Non sopportando piu, le pressioni della sua famiglia e in cerca di pace e tranquillit¨¤, si trasferisce a palazzo Ayakashi. Un edificio a cui si pu¨° accedere solo dopo aver superato una prova molto difficile.
Abitato da ragazzi "strani" e ognuno ha al suo fianco un agente del Secret Service a protegerli. Vi starete chiedendo il perch¨¨, semplice ogni abitante del palazzo e un'erede degli Yokai; "creature dall'aspetto e dai poteri strani" come quelli della nostra protagonista.
Essendo una persona solitaria Ririchiyo non tollera la compagnia altrui, e tantomeno quella del suo agente del S.S. Soshi Miketsukami, un misterioso ragazzo che ¨¨ disposto a dare la vita per lei. Non s¨¤ per¨° che lui nasconde un segreto, e forse, potrebbe cambiare per sempre la sua vita.
Mi sono innamorata di questo manga fin da subito, ho aprazzato tantissimo i vari sbalzi d'umore della nostra protagonista, mi sono fatta una marea di risate grazie alla personalita da manica di Nobara e la sadicita di Kegero. Tutti personaggi ben distinti e ben inseriti nella storia. Che danno quella marcia in pi¨´ al fumeto.
Ammetto di aver trovato un po noioso il 3 volume ma nel 4 la storia cambia e la suspance aumenta. Il rapporto tra Soshi e Riricho diventa sempre pi¨´ forte cosi da dare all'lettore quell'attimo di romanticismo che si cerca tra i vari protagonisti della storia. Non mancano i colpi di scena, dalla scoperta di un passato non dimenticato e l'amore che sta per nascere.
Riderete, piangerete e vi emozionerete insieme hai nostri protagonisti, e bramerete il seguito di questa splendida storia. Graficamente ogni personaggio e ben caratterizzato e dettagliato, sia in vesti normali che in vesti da demoni. Molto azzeccata anche la grafica di copertina, la quale in primis ¨¨ stata proprio lei a spingermi a richiedere questo manga alla casa editrice la quale ringrazio, dai colori sgargianti e ritraenti le svariate coppie di demoni ed i loro corrispettivi della S.S, a parer mio FAVOLOSO.
Per il momento questo manga e in vetta alla classifica dei miei favoriti per tanto il mio voto e di 4 stelline la quinta la riservo per i volumi finali

Inu X Boku SS is rated Older Teen and this book has a character that is basically fascinated with sadism and masochism though he simply refers to them as S and M and does not actually act on such interests short of finding joy in causing misfortune in others. There is also some violence and flashbacks of bullying (though not as much) like in the 1st volume so use your best judgment if such things bother you. Since you should have read the 1st volume before starting this one you should know best if it does.
Okay I am going to be honest. I really like Ririchiyo. She is honest to a fault which bothers most people and because of it she sees herself as flawed but as the series continues we get to see her open up more and more to not only those around her in the Maison de Ayakashi but specifically to Soushi who is her faithful Secret Service agent. This volume delves into Soushi's past as Ririchiyo's less then pleasant fiance chosen by their parents (he somehow reminds me of Tom Green or some of the other obnoxious TV personalities...) makes his appearance and tries to stir up trouble. Soushi goes from being a simple character who is simply around to tease and assist Ririchiyo in every day activities to a more complex character with cracks in his seemingly perfect appearance that has grown to know Ririchiyo long before she has had a chance to know him. I hope things work out if the two of them decide to forego the employee/client relationship and explore their feelings now that the truth has been exposed.
Choosing favorite moments in books are not always easy but I have to say the big reveal at the end of the volume really got the feels award so if you want to see for yourself you will just have to read it for yourself (it's at the end of chapter 8 if you can't get the book.)

I¡¯ve always loved Roromiya. She¡¯s adorably straight-faced, loves food, and says what she thinks when she thinks she should. She¡¯s probably my favorite character. And that really proves true in this volume, when she forms a friendship with Watanuki and Ririchiyo. She pulls them together, even when they¡¯re trying to be tough. They¡¯re fantastic friends, and I really enjoyed reading their interactions while at school.
Aside from that, we get some background information for Soushi, a bit more than I thought would come so quickly. It gives a lot of depth for his character, and made me feel a bit bad for him. The poor guy; I love him. It also helped his and Ririchiyo¡¯s relationship develop, though, and I hope it¡¯ll only do more in the next volume. I¡¯m not too sure where they¡¯re going to go, or how fast they¡¯ll go, but I¡¯m hoping they won¡¯t go too slow in the way of romance. I'm looking forward to it.
We also met Kagerou in this volume. I¡¯m not going to spoil his part in any of this, though, because that would be major spoilers, and the surprise is the best part; it really makes his characters and his scenes.. He caused a huge amount of hilarity for me in the anime, and he did about the same in this book. He¡¯s so odd, and he¡¯s fantastic, really. He¡¯s hilariously weird. And seeing his interactions with everyone, including Roromiya, who¡¯s his bodyguard, is great.
This is a great series. It¡¯s adorable, and I love the characters; it¡¯s very pretty, and the humor is fantastic. I¡¯m really looking forward to getting the next volume.

I am so pleasantly surprised by this second volume in the series; once I picked it up to read, I simply could not put it down.
The first part of the volume continues to develop Ririchiyo's character as she awkwardly tries to reach beyond herself and make friends. Ririchiyo also recognizes her growing attachment to Soushi, and the remainder of the volume introduces more of his story. The demon blood that flows in these characters often serves to ostracize them from others, including their families, who see them only as tools to exploit for wealth and power. Soushi has not been immune to this fate, and he has used his cunning fox-like attributes to survive and free himself from his horrid situation. He's emotionally damaged, though, and sees Ririchiyo as his opposite in her purity in facing her own constraints. In contrast, Ririchiyo sees their similarities. Inu x Boku SS has just enough angst and insecurity to make this such an adorable romance with its awkward leads. I'm looking forward to more.

Inu x Boku SS has just enough angst and insecurity to make this such an adorable romance with its awkward leads. I'm looking forward to more.

In this volume, we meet Kagerou, the S&M Troll! (As opposed to the Bunny Troll from the previous volume)
This volume is very similar to the first one in that it's about the lives of the odd inhabitants of Maison de Ayakashi. There are a few differences, though, in that a large portion focuses on Mitsukami's back story. It's really interesting to see his back story, and I really liked looking at how and why he became the character we know and compare it to how Ririchiyo became the way she is. They're surprisingly similar...
Kagerou is introduced as well, and he's a character that I'm not sure what to make of. I found him teeth-grindingly annoying when he first appeared, and pretty creepy. As the volume went on, though, I began to wonder how much of what he does is a front. I think he's seriously trolling everyone involved.
All in all, I enjoyed this volume and had fun reading it. I look forward to the next volume.

I am continue reading this cuz I am watching the anime right now and there are things that are a little confusing and I think they will be clearer reading the manga. All characters are likeable, although I do not think it is a WOW manga, but it is funny, and the art is beautiful. Most of the times I am not a 'Loli' fan, but Ririchiyo is cute without meaning to be. And Souichi is very handsome.
I cannot stop comparing this to my favorite manga, Black Butler. Souichi is very much like Sebastian, especially now that I read his story, that he used to manipulate people, women, to get his freedom. And that he is so calm and does not care to lick someone's else shoes, if he is command to do it. His beatific smile is just like Sebas-chan's. Natsume is pretty much like Grell, always loud and with this soft spot for Souchi. And Ririchiyo is like Ciel, serious and lonely, and child-looking.

I love this, but why does the heroine have to be smaller than a twelve-year-old malnourished? There are times where that looks cute, but most of the times, I'm just.. bothered by that. /sigh
Also: HAH! I WAS NOT WRONG WHY DID EVERYONE LIE TO ME ABOUT HIS NATURE?! (Or was I wrong? Currently reading the 3rd volume. But afaik the series hasn't ended yet, right? So, how would anyone know that he's as puppy-dog as he seems to be? (Even if we include his past in the puppy-picture, btw.) Weeell.. whatever. (Hah. Spent three hours pondering that question. Ends monologue with 'whatever'.))

This manga is SO easy to read! not confusing as hell like some others I have read. Aaanyways..
Soushi is just getting more and more adorable, as he is slowly breaking down Ririchiyos walls, even if right now shes only THINKING about trying to be nicer and show her true self to others, its still a start! The other residents of the house are being very welcoming and trying to be friends with Ririchiyo which I find unbelievably sweet, and I choked on my tea when Karuta disappears and Nobara goes on about her being tentacle raped.. so stereotypically Japanese I cried laughing. I am loving this.

Its weird how manga is sooo different to how Japan really is; we have kagerou (Riricho's ex-fiance) showing S&M to anything that moves and we have the faithful Souichi who will do anything for his master.
We saw a bit more of what Souichi's past and charcater as well as Ririchiou's childhood too.
The story is about to get more interesting quite quickly.

The first book was really good but this one started sliding. This book was okay, and I will continue reading the series if it cuts down on the randomness. Otherwise, I couldnt care, either way. It's something to pass the time. Something I don't have in my current state.

oh good lord I hate the fianc¨¦ but I am digging the development of both Riri and Miketsukami.
there are a few things that are confusing but as shown with this mangaka, I'm sure it will all be cleared up.

I love being able to see more of the backstories of our two main characters, it really helps you have a better understanding of why they are the way they are. I'm curious to see how else things will unfold.

I like that we are meeting a lot of the other tenants of the building. Some of their interactions are so funny. So far it is reminding me of one of my favorite Korean dramas Vincenzo. Purely because of all the tenants and their fun interactions.
