The Beast Player Vol. 2 (Kodansha, 2024)

Back on her feet-at least physically-after her harrowing ordeal, Elin adjusts to her new life with the kind old beekeeper Joeun. Fascinated by his bees and their mysterious ways, she's excited when he tells her they'll be going high up into the mountains for the summer to follow the bees' favorite wildflower blooms. But when Joeun loses his footing in a deep ravine inhabited by wild toda and even fiercer beasts, Elin will have to figure out how to save them both.
