Victoria's Electric Coffin 2 by Ikuno Tajima

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

It opens with Eins still fighting Willa for reasons no one but Henry understands (but it seems more like no girl is going to out science him and worse turn him down because Henry appears to be petty like that). Things go from bad to worse when he sets Willa out of control on Eins who doesn't have the physical alterations Willa does.

This isn't enough for Henry though, he needs to humiliate both Eins and Victoria more by exposuing Eins' dark history. So the far more interesting part of this is Ein's back story which is every bit as tragic as you might be hoping for between the plight of immigrants in NYC in this time period, ditto rampant disease and organized crime. Eins becomes a much more sympathetic character IMO at the end of this. The art is still very nice and I'd like to see what comes next.
