Descrição da editora
Almost as if a coordinated effort, two new menaces set upon Sakurashin at the exact same time! Murasaki Iyo, a super conservative senate member and the most dangerous threat to all demons, and Iruka Kujoin, a half-demon hunter who goes by the alias of Oni Slayer. Touka falls into Murasaki’s inquisitive hands, while Kyosuke is pushed to the ropes by his natural predator, Iruka. Amid an already desperate situation, Murasaki further sets out to erase the very existence of the oni! Will the siblings be banished to darkness, just as Murasaki plans?!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Quartet is about three girls with magical powers who are in charge of governing and protecting their town, and a human boy. There are adventures and there is action. Unfortunately, both are rather disjointed. Yasuda works hard to introduce the reader to the characters and to give her girls individual narratives that expand upon their characteristics. However, there isn't a clear theme or story line as anchor. Ultimately, it's a somber look at magical girl manga. The happiness and overzealous cuteness typical of this genre is absent. And while the school-girl skirts may fly up from time to time, there are no gratuitous panty-shots (save one at the end), replacing sexy-cute with an elegant, sophisticated sexiness. Yasuda's character designs are the most engaging. Hime, who acts as mayor, keeps a lookout on the town from telephone poles and carries a big lacrosse stick. Kotoha has the power to materialize objects that she imagines and then verbalizes. Ao has cat ears and can read people's minds. It's nothing spectacular or original, but the subtlety with which Yasuda presents them is refreshing.
