The Tarot Café, Volume 2

The second volume in Park Sang-Sun's manga series combines fantasy and horror elements. Aaron, an accidental werewolf carrying trauma from abuse and abandonment, seeks help and takes a job as an assistant to Pamela at the Tarot Café while searching for answers to his condition. The volume also explores Pamela's past. Seven hundred years ago, her mother made a significant sacrifice for her daughter. The narrative questions whether the fear that affected her mother has truly disappeared. The series features black-and-white manga-style illustrations that are clear and expressive. Tarot cards appear throughout, with their meanings explained as each is revealed. The stories focus primarily on adult characters and move at a quick pace. The artwork and gothic atmosphere create a Twilight Zone-like tone.
