Over in Hell High—because what else is Naraka
if not a play on neraka
or hell?—the only student who could've done something about the 'Mizu' seal, Sakasaki, chooses not to do anything in Aphorism volume 3. But as if to prove that indeed, All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men [or women] to do nothing,
she is seized by Group Four who proceeds to exploit her.
I lurve the shower of tags this shounen horror series generated over at Baka-Updates Manga: Super Powers, Monsters, Gore, School, Survival, Mysterious Boy, Mysterious Power Psychopath, Friendship, Monster Academy.
That smorgasbord intrigues me enough to take Kujō Karuna-sensei's manga for a spin.
The second semester kicks off in La Corda d'Oro volume 12, and Kaho-chan feels she may have dropped down the rabbit hole: Hihara-senpai gains (moar) fangirls and Tsukimori helps her with a piece that's been giving her problems. But it's not all roses; she also becomes the star of the gossip grapevine and a new teacher Tsukimori and Osaki-senpai idolize seems to have something against her...

The second semester begins in earnest after the training camp, and Kahoko is motivated to improve herself after basking in the music of top-class players during the camp. Back at school, however, it is as if she has stepped into a parallel world. The girls are chasing Hihara, everyone is gossiping about her, and Tsukimori is offering her pointers on a song she's been trying to master! Will wonders never cease? The arrival of a new teacher who has the respect of both Tsukimori and Osaki has Kahoko all excited, but the stern teacher refuses to give her the time of the day unless she does something first...
