  "Why am I reading this?" she sobbed, shaking the book angrily.

  Still a strange series but also a fascinating one. Got hit with the feels with this volume too; this author really knows how to tug at your heartstrings.

  I like this book, but I think it hates me.
  
  I finished this one confused, but in a good way. I'm still fuzzy on what is happening and why it is happening, but I want it to keep happening. There is plenty of excitement with an attempted prison break and much fighting, but there is also a devastating development, much like in the first book.
  
  But how can you not like a story with a wolf and a giant bear?

  Gorgeous art + a weirdly compelling, fantastical, rip your heart out storyline. Does anyone know how many volumes this will run?

  This continues to be a strange journey that I can't get enough of.
  
  So last we had our creature who became both man and wolf talk. So now him, March, and Parona all go together to a city like nothing they've seen before. It's filled with life, people, and so many things that March can't get enough. The story begins to lean into a fish out of water situation when something horrible happens and takes the group to a new place. Remember that big bear? Well he's also back in a big way!
  
  This series continues to make you feel the emotion of characters that you may only get 80-100 pages of. It's so captivating to feel for characters like that and the way the storytelling does it so flawlessly honestly makes me jealous. The art is great with some action scenes that are high up there on "holy shit" level. The ending is the only strange part, as it feels out of place? Or out of nohwere maybe, but the series is still extremely captivating. A 4 out of 5.

  The plot is starting to develop more, though.

  March and Parona are taken away from their village and along with Fushi are forced to live in Yanome, though the outcome isn’t quite what they expected.
  
  I’m really impressed by Oima’s creativity and her ability to make me attached to her characters so quickly. This scenario in particular is super interesting because even if we lose characters we don’t feel that they’re truly lost given Fushi can take their form, it makes for a very bittersweet type of story. The situation our characters are placed in in this volume was difficult to read, and just further endeared me to March. We also get hints at Fushi’s purpose in this volume, which makes the story feel a bit more structured as I had no idea where it was going after volume 1.

  Este tomo no alcanza a lo que se consiguió en el primer capítulo, pero sigue estando bastante bien.
  Los misterios siguen ahí y el dramatismo te alcanza como flechas al corazón, como debe ser.

  Una mejora sustancial respecto al tomo anterior, por lo menos en lo que se refiere al arco de Oniguma. Emocionalmente, Ôima sabe cuándo pegar el batacazo y la sensibilidad con que trata a sus personajes permite una conexión emocional rapidísima con todos ellos. Me gusta que la autora sea consciente de la madurez de su obra y no tenga reparos en mostrar acciones duras de leer o tratar a sus personajes con detalles que demuestran su interés por hacerlos realistas. La escena de la niña ha estado especialmente bien llevada y, si bien la trama de los núcleos herbáceos no me acaba de convencer, el conjunto funciona a las mil maravillas. El dibujo no hace más que ayudar a esa experiencia: Ôima tiene un estilo muy definido y sorprende lo bien que fluyen páginas con diez o quince viñetas.
  
  Vamos, que ojalá siga así.

  Ich fand den Band soo toll. Der Zeichenstil ist wirklich schön und die Charaktere sind sehr gut ausgewählt. Auch die Geschichte an sich und das Abenteuer von Fushu ist wirklich gut ! Kann ich sehr empfehlen.

  4.5. WOW. OK. Hade to reread some pages in this volume to fully understand what was happening (because some things where just so surprising!). Such a amazing volume. 👏

  Nothing is as one hopes.
  
  Not one's tradition. Not one's emotional sacrifice. And definitely not one's expectation of how sharp the truth must be when felling a forest of lies.
  
  TO YOUR ETERNITY drifts, with regrettable ease, from gleefully caustic to sated amusement, in the face of unrelenting (mythic) danger. This volume retains only a small amount of the philosophical intrigue of the previous, and makes the difficult transition from a properly aesthetic manga into a more casual, commercial enterprise. The author's success is debatable.
  
  As March, Parona, and the shapeshifting semi-deity Fushi are ushered into the distant land of Yanome at the hands a soldier, the group has nothing but escape on the mind -- if for different reasons. March, the child, merely wishes to see her family again. Parona, prudent but difficult in her naivete, wishes to reveal the truth regarding the sham oniguma ceremonies. But these hopes are far from practical. For as Hayase, the soldier, so quickly reminds them: "The death of some girl is not a problem."
  
  Volume Two strings out the imprisonment and escape of March, Parona, and Fushi with thankless detail. And while this may suit the narrative appropriately, it's a considerable disappointment when juxtaposed with the exquisite artistry of the previous volume. Gargantuan mountain passes and lush forestry have been replaced with scant marketplaces, straw-floor rooms, and storage closets. Duels between deities have been replaced with random violence sanctioned by the state. It's not that this volume is uninteresting; rather, it's merely nowhere near as engaging as the previous.
  
  The only successful theme the author, Oima, brands from start to finish is that of human loneliness. While it is questionable how (or why) the author so intensely recasts Parona's character (from gender-neutral aspirant to an overtly feminine liberator and protector), there remains an admirable tinge of moral certainty in how the most fundamentally weak and indecisive character of the whole book is forced to grow up the fastest. The young woman yearns for respect, but often fails to recognize how her convictions mean little if they protect no one else in return.
  
  In this installment, TO YOUR ETERNITY is at its best when juxtaposing Parona's hunger for rightness, against the dangers or consequences of that rightness. Indeed, she nearly dies because of it. . .
  
  Altogether, Volume Two is entertaining, if not particularly visually memorable. Perhaps the largest drawback rests in the closing chapters, in which, Fushi, clearly setting out on a path of his own, crosses fangs with yet another otherworldly creature. Sadly, readers are left with a poorly paced conclusion, some near-to-meaningless moralizing, and very little explanation of what value such ham-fisted conflicts actually possess.

  Heart-wrenching and engrossing. Ooima knows exactly how to move her readers to tears and create amazing characters.

  What is up with this manga series and making me cry?
  Don't know what more to say about this one. I flew through it and now really want to read the rest of the series.

  Truly a unique and engaging manga. Mystery, magic and heartbreak swirl around Fushi as his journey of growth continues with encounters both thrilling and heart wrenching.

  Justo cuando pensé que ningún manga iba a llegar a sorprenderme más antes de cerrar 2017, ha venido Yoshitoki Oima a pegarme una patada en el corazón. En este segundo tomo de To Your Eternity la historia de “Eso” sigue al lado de la peculiar March y la fuerte Parona, que deben sobrevivir y luchar para poder regresar a su pueblo Ninanna tras ser llevadas a Yanome por la guerrera Hayase. Si bien el primer volumen de la serie era una exploración más melancólica y reflexiva sobre la inmortalidad, este segundo deja paso a las emociones más humanas para conseguir quebrar nuestro corazón con cada página.
  
  Es increíble lo que consigue Yoshitoki en tan pocas páginas con sus personajes. Tanto March como Parona nos cuentan su propia historia, vemos su propia evolución y nada nos resulta premeditado. Sus conflictos internos con coherentes, sus traumas del pasado son incorporados en el momento perfecto, y sus ideales se palpan en cada dialogo. Todo un acierto el guion de la mangaka. Este segundo tomo la historia es mucho más desgarradora, pero a otro nivel. Aquí nos habla de los sacrificios y el peso de los errores. De que no siempre los buenos van a ganar y que no todo sale como uno quiere. Pero el viaje de Inmo nos deja un poso de esperanza, de posibilidades. Siempre se puede aprender de los errores, mejorar y superarse a uno mismo.
  
  Acompaña de nuevo un dibujo tremendamente precioso y detallista de la mangaka, que transmite tanto con tan solo un rostro y una mirada. Oima no tiene tabús en mostrar los momentos más crueles, pero sin recrearse. Igual que las escenas de acción, absolutamente fascinantes. Este segundo volumen me ha fascinado incluso más que el primero. Realmente no sé a donde quiere ir la autora con la serie, pero este segundo episodio me ha dejado destrozado el corazón. Queda mucho camino que Inmo debe recorrer y muchas preguntas que necesitamos responder.

  4.5 rounded up, this was similar to the first one but I just felt more? I think the story is starting to actually provide what its premise said it would, as Fushi is learning and growing and it's actually really cool to follow it on this journey. There were some genuinely shocking moments in this volume and while I can't seem to cry while reading, I felt the emotions I feel when I cry if that makes sense lol. Anyways, I'm excited to continue once again! OH also the art is continually stunning, with major scenes definitely standing out and making huge impacts. The covers of this series are some of the most beautiful I've ever seen, and looking at this one after having read this volume is so heartbreaking ahhh

  Die Übergänge zwischen einzelnen Szenen sind zu schnell und ich habe öfters den Faden verloren. Manche Dinge geschehen und es wird nichts erklärt.
  Deutlich schwächer als Band 1, ich werd mir aber trotzdem den nächsten Band auch holen.

  Following a being's journey of self discovery and exploration of the world from scratch is very fulfilling, but the being also experiences a lot of heartbreak that's devastating to read. A similarly non-human antagonist is introduced in this volume, which is very intriguing, but I might run out of tears if I keep reading this series!

  Volume ini sedih banget ....
  
  Progres plotnya sudah lumayan. Bahkan perkembangan dari volume satu ke volume dua benar-benar terlihat dan bisa ditemukan dengan jelas di To Your Eternity. Aku sudah jatuh cinta sama karakternya, tapi takdir berkata lain ....
  
  Aku sudah memutuskan untuk lanjut baca manga ini. Aku mau lihat perjalanan Fushi QAQ

  This series continues to captivate me. It is very strange, but in a good way. It's also devastating in a lot of ways.
  
  There are some parts in this volume that are a bit hard to follow, but that's only a small thing. Overall, I'm still really liking this series.
