Great volume! It's interesting to see how some of the translations differ just slightly from the anime, and the notes on translation in the back were especially interesting once again. The stories in this volume are still very close to the anime, and even in manga form, I still find it to be a somewhat soothing, atmospheric read--maybe because of the familiarity I have with these stories and my love for the series. The tone, atmosphere, and art are still fantastic and beautiful, even in black and white manga format, and the art retains its almost watercolor-like properties. Reading this really makes me want to rewatch the anime yet again.

El segundo tomo recopila cinco nuevos relatos donde Ginko pone sus conocimientos sobre los insectos al servicio de las gentes del lugar. Me gusta especialmente la profundidad de los personajes y las diversas motivaciones que los llevan a actuar de ciertas maneras. El despliegue de folclore es una delicia. Es una serie bastante emotiva.

W tym tomie na przestrzeni 10 stron Ginko został dźgnięty nożem, podpalony żywcem i zdołał zwędzić dziwne, płynne zielone dziecko.
Ikona.
Ikona.

mehsi's review against another edition

The second volume in this gorgeous series and I am delighted I can re-read it all. In this one Ginko travels far and wide again, meets new people, tries to help and save people, and we learn some more about him which I already knew of course but I still think it is interesting that he cannot stay anywhere for long before the mushi overrun everything as they want to be with Ginko.
In this one we head to the mountains and meet a master, we see a girl with a birthmark (mushi) who needs to write, we go to an island with strange things happening, we follow a rainbow (I loved this one so much), and then Ginko helps out a family (which was just creepy).
All in all, a great volume and I loved every story in it. The art was amazing, I especially love the backgrounds.
