Nabari No Ou, Vol. 2

When Kotarou appears in Fuuma Village, Yoite leaves, sparing Kumohira's life in the nick of time. The Fuuma medics attend to the wounded, and after everyone has had a day to recover, they discuss the secret art and what they're going to do about it. So far, the only known way to remove the art from is to kill them, so Kotarou resolves to develop a new technique that will remove the art in a less fatal manner. His idea is to follow the example of the Iga Grey Wolves and see if they can get the forbidden arts of each of the five great ninja villages, and he instructs Miharu and company to do just that, by any means possible.

Yuhki Kamatani's debut work, NABARI NO OU, was a finalist in the 2005 Japan Media Arts Festival in the "Story Manga" category. The series' popularity later led to its popular anime adaptation.
