We are fairly far in to this series now, so if you’re just tuning in to the this blog and have never heard of this “violence Yuri” manga by Yoshimurakana, you might not understand from anything I am about to say what this manga is about. So let me be plain – this manga is about a psychopathic predatory lesbian and her harem of sociopaths and murderers who all kill people that the police can’t quite stop. Breasts are huge, the lesbian sex is atrociously ugly and the means by which people die are creative and bloody.

In MURCIÉLAGO, Volume 9, the gang takes a stand against The Sakura Pruning Group – a terrorist relic of World War 2 – in the sewers. After which we all go fishing because that is totally a great way to blow off steam after a below-the city battle to the death. And some ugly lesbian sex on the beach for Chiyo and Kuroko. Joining the is former Virginal Rose student Narumi, who was fought to a standstill by Chiyo.

After which Hinako’s dream comes true and she gets to fight a giant robot in a robot of her own. This story adds a mad scientist to our roster of killers and crazies. This can’t be a bad thing.

And finally we get a couple of shorts, including one about a well-matched pair of incestuous sisters, notable mostly because it has some of the least ugly lesbian sex in the series.

It’s a volume jam packed with violence, and death, murderers and thugs and whatever Hinako is and ugly lesbian sex. In other words, a good strong volume of MURCIÉLAGO.

Ratings:

Art – How can one even judge the art? Good? Bad? Both?
Story – 9
Characters – 8
Service – 9
Yuri – 9

Overall – 9

Still probably my favorite volume since the Virginal Rose arc and I’m with Hinako – giant robots are just what this series needed. Next volume, a giant shark!
