怪物事変 3 by Sho Aimoto

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Mihai the vampire has sent Kabane, Shiki and Akira on a mission for him inside a strange factory that is highly productive but its work force is not all that it seems. What should have been a simple mission turns dangerous, far more than the trio was led to expect.

It does, however, lead the trio to find inner strength they didn't know they had. As a small trip (that Akira is convinced is a vacation) is arranged by Inugami for Shiki, a misunderstanding means they all go to this bathhouse retreat owned by Shiki's uncle. They're going to seach for Shiki's parents as he's now emotionally ready for it. However there is some real horror waiting for them there.

I'm enjoying this for the most part but there are a few misses for me like the some what infantile nature of Kon (who wasnt in this much) and the shallow approach to Akira's fem-boy nature that feels to have no understanding of the psychology of it (feels more like awww aint' this cutesy). I do want to keep rolling with this series.
