I've finished "Black Bird Vol. 11" by Kanoko Sakurakoji.
Product Description
Reads R to L (Japanese Style).
Sho has miraculously returned to the tengu village, and while he seems content to live quietly on the outskirts,
Kyo has learned the hard way not to trust his brother. To make matters worse, the villagers are resentful that Kyo won't share the restorative power of the Senka Maiden with them. But most demons don't possess Kyo's willpower, and one taste of Misao's blood would send them into a frenzy. Is it possible for Kyo be a good leader and a good husband?

My Review:
Another beautiful colorful front cover! Love that Sho is finally on a cover!
This volume has more violence against Misao!
In this volume, Misao is visiting Ayame when Kaede comes calling and asking Misao to meet a sick boy. They go visit the little boy who is in great pain and Misao touches him. He feels a lot better and thanks Misao for helping him.
When she arrives back to Ayame's some villagers come calling asking her for some of her blood. Kyo arrives in time and makes the villagers turn away. Kyo is talking to one of his closest friends and ally and they are being followed by Kaede. Kyo knows so he starts talking about stuff to throw them off track.
Meanwhile Misao is walking with some of the children of the village when she is attacked by some of the villagers wanting her blood. They start licking her blood off her wounds while she is crying and saying, "no!" She sees Kaede when one of Kyo's friends saves her and chops them up. Later Kyo arrives to see how Misao is doing and then they start making out. Misao wakes up the next morning thinking she is weak and how much she loves Kyo. Kyo wakes up and they smile at each other and start talking.
Later Misao wants Sho to remove the curse he has put on her which made her forget who Kyo was. They go visit Sho and he does remove the curse and Misao starts remembering her childhood with Sho and Kyo. Actually it was Sho who was very kind to her and Kyo was the one rude to her.
We learn that Sho actually died that day in the warehouse and his servant gave up his own life to resurrect him.
5/5
