Preliminary (1/86 chp)
This is the sequel to The Fable. I won’t spoil the ending of the first part. But this manga picks up exactly from where the first part left. Do not read this before reading the first part.

The story, art, enjoyment is same as before. It was nostalgic to see all the old guys here again. The story starts off in the COVID pandemic. I wonder if that will play a big role moving forward.

So far only a few chapters are available online, but it is top quality! Worth waiting for more chapters.


For all the Fable lovers this is an amazing continuation.

The first [The Fable] manga went on far longer than it should have; this sequel should have never materialized. The author, Katsuhisa, was already prone to using his characters as mouthpieces to rant about his political opinions. Giving him a sequel as a platform to rant about COVID-19, and Japan's response to it, made him insufferable. So many of the early chapters revolve around COVID's impact, and people opining about it, that he even lampshades it by making one of his characters tell another to shut up about COVID. It didn't even matter, because once he got it out of his system, COVID was forgotten ...

If you're a fan of The Fable Part 1, this is a must-read. It seamlessly picks up the story and reunites all the amazing characters from the first part. Personally, I consider Part 1 a masterpiece, unmatched in its medium. I was thrilled to discover that Part 2 was nearly complete when I began reading it.

The Second Contact offers more of the same charm, which is not a bad thing at all. The gang reunites at the start, diving into hilarious encounters through their new rent-an-uncle endeavor. Additionally, some plot points from Part 1 that were only hinted at are explored further, which is a ...

while The Second Contract is not as good as the first part of The Fable, I still personally give it a 10.

The Fable's first part ends quite nicely and I didn't think it would need a sequel, but hearing the announcement of a sequel I waited untill all the chapters were released and read it in a single sitting.

The Second Contract feels sudden, the author used Covid as an influence for the story and it's happenings, and it does feel like a way for the author to complain about his problems with the epidemic.

the story is sudden, kinda like the epidemic. the start has a ...

From perfect to good.

I won't deny, and I don't think anybody can deny, this sequel wasn't entirely necessary. The original was a work of art, a true look into the beginning of redemption, and it did change my outlook into “do killers deserve a happy ending?”. Some other stories constantly contradict the happy idea the original “The Fable” discussed, and I expected this one to challenge that notion. Instead, it's just… more Fable. While the first one works great on its own, you can easily remove this one from the timeline, and there's not much of a change.

Does that make this one bad? ...
