4.5

 orochi is a demon of chaos (not really. I have no idea what she is meant to be other than a pretty woman with a very vague set of magical powers) that is hilarious to read about precisely because she never seems to know what she's doing or why. the second tale in this volume went to some insane places while orochi stumbles along, barely a central character in her own manga. I always get a lot of laughs from these and love how camp the stories end up being (a good rule of camp being that sometimes it's better when it's unintentional) and highly recommend to anyone that knows how to enjoy trashy, ridiculous b movies. the only reason this isn't 5 stars is because the third story had barely any orochi in it and I need a little more of her to make things interesting.
