Volume 2

Seraph of the End 2 (終わりのセラフ 2) is the second volume of the Seraph of the End: Vampire Reign manga, written by Takaya Kagami and illustrated by Yamato Yamamoto.

Cover Details
Volume two's cover features Mikaela Hyakuya. As a partial vampire, Mika's eyes remain blue yet his fangs are displayed. The golden guard, and red bladed sword he can wield has the spiked vines deployed, where they are dark in coloration in their appearances on the left, and top right of the image. His blond hair color seen, Mika's clothing which includes a cape is also shown to be largely white, with golden ornate chain like pieces, along with blue gemstones adorning his attire. He also wears black boots reaching up to his thighs, with three golden buttons seen. A light illuminates the left side of Mika.

Crouched in a built up area that does not resemble the outside ruined world, it seems a depiction of Mika as a vampire, within a vampire city. Sanguinem would be most likely, with Mika being seen there during the chapters. The crumbled like rock formations Mika is crouching on, along with his battle like pose, may indicate a separate setting taking place elsewhere. Mika's past and present experiences are detailed predominantly in Chapter 5.

Author's note
"Lately, I've been doing all my writing at family restaurants. Now it feels like I've hurt my back. I think family restaurants should be required to provide ergonomic sofas. Anyway, here's volume 2."

"Yūichirō has more friends. I'm sure they'll grant him even greater power. I hope you enjoy it."
