Karin may have been able to find the three noble gods to destroy the Chaos Seeds that threaten the future, but the real trouble is only beginning! Jealousies, misunderstandings and rivalries for Karin’s heart might be even more of a threat to peace than those Seeds. But then, just what is spurring all these extreme reactions in those cute little magical transforming heroes? It looks like the Chaos Seeds are already at work. Karin overhears her beloved Kazune complaining about her and she runs away from home in tears. She meets little Suzune (her and Kazune’s child from the future) and Jin finds them. Seeing her unhappy, Jin is determined to cheer her up. It may be that Jin likes Karin and maybe is even in love with her! This good looking star and Noble God wants a shot at her heart. But Rika, that mysterious girl with the bad mojo, springs a Chaos Seed and soon all of Jin’s fans are going after Karin! They ambush her and it’s only thanks to Jin’s fast action that Karin is saved. Jin’s jealousy over Karin being with Kazune is just the opportunity Rika needs to unleash a Chaos Seed and it switches Kazune and Jin’s bodies! Now Jin has an opportunity to seduce Karin in the guise of her beloved Kazune. Will the noble god do something not noble at all? He’s determined to woo Karin and win her away from Kazune no matter what! Even when that clears up the trouble doesn’t stop. The annual sakura festival is another chance for Rika to stir up trouble when she unleashes a seed on the girls and they act all jealous and vengeful on Karin for having all the cute boys talking to her. Interestingly enough it’s Micchi who comes to her rescue this time. But later Jin gets to see Karin’s home for the first time and finds out she lives with Kazune. Unhappy about that, he immediately challenges Kazune to a cook off! It’s a cute side to the story. But underneath is a bigger problem. Kazune has discovered that despite his new transformation, every time he uses it, it shortens his life each time he uses his power to destroy a Chaos Seed. He learns that Kirio is behind the Chaos Seeds. Just what evil scheme is Kirio up to now? Manga extras include a bonus fan art gallery, translation notes, the adorable Three Kitty Gods comic panels, and a bonus story about the time when Karin fought against the Karasume siblings for the god transformation rings. It’s a cute and funny short.
IN SUMMARY:
It’s more cuteness, action, and peril in the latest volume of Kamichama Karin Chu! Jealousies run rampant when a new god enters Karin’s life to try to steal her away from Kazune! A new rival in love makes a stand! |
