Humanity being saved by chickens. It’s just so much fun. It doesn’t take itself too seriously, but the art is top notch. I loved the hot spring slice of life. I loved the ex chicken gf’s love for smart phones. The kid characters were great.

I'm not sure which chapters these are, but I'm sure I read some of these...

Anyway. On the same line as the last one.

In broad strokes still really fun and still really funny. A little less heart than the first one which is surprising since Chicken Little is more prominent in this one.

My major problem with this book is all of the bird sex. It was kind of shocking and maybe a little funny for one panel. But it gets used way too much. I get that our main character is kind of an antihero, but some of his behavior in this book is sexual harassment bordering on sexual assault which makes it hard to hang with. Perhaps worse is that it is played for laughs. The book does punish the main character for this behavior and ends with him getting kicked in the junk. I'm not sure that is sufficient payoff for what the reader has to go through. I am hoping they just take it a different direction in the future.

I asked myself how much weirder could it get. The answer is: A Lot. This second volume mostly features a spurned ex of the rooster and a chick he saved in the first book, making up a weird kind-of found family, even as the meta plot of him trying to find the specific demon he wants to find plods on. 

It features: a hen with a stun baton and a smart phone; more manga tropes transposed onto the fiction; the rooster giving out life lessons; bird sex. 

What a strange thing that, for the most part, if it didn’t have the gimmick of farm stock battling the demons (for some reasons humans never do this) would probably be a fairly generic samurai-revenge type manga.

I'm honestly not sure why I continue to read this series. It's just ok. The story has just enough substance to keep me hanging on to see what happens. If this goes over five volumes though, I'm gonna get bored. What more can happen in each volume other than, a rooster fights a giant monster?
