Goodreads Synopsis:
FEAR THE FOREIGNER!
Rea's just gotten permission to live with Chihiro and return to school, when a strange blonde woman arrives at the house! This isn't just some confused tourist, though-- she knows all about the reanimation potion, and Grandpa is terrified of her... Could she be a threat to Rea?
Review:
This series is
moving in a very interesting direction. One that has me surprised, and guessing.
I took a small break from it, but I think I’m going to try to catch up now. I’m
enjoying it so far.
We meet a new
character in this volume, and she’s worked with Chihiro’s grandfather (who does
not want to see her) on zombies in the past. At first she made me wary, and still does a
little, because her intentions with Rea are questionable, but it actually seems
like her and Rea might form a friendship. One that could be good for both of
them. Rea doesn’t have a lot of friends, and she’s really only attached to
Chihiro right now. She needs a friend. She also needs to learn how to deal with
her zombie state.
I like Rea, and we
got to see a new side of her in this volume. She’s still developing, and
revealing herself as a character, learning about her problems, as well as
growing as a person.
We also got to see
some development for Mero, Chihiro’s little sister, who is just great. She’s so
straightforward, and mature. There was a scene with her in this volume that has
me really intrigued. We also saw some of Wanko, Chihiro’s cousin, who for some
reason I am just not a very big fan of.
I’m mostly really
interested in Rea’s zombie situation. I love the way it’s being used, how it’s
developing, the problems that are coming up. There are some serious bad things
coming up, being hinted at—it has me extremely interested.
I look forward to
reading the next volume, and seeing where it goes from here.
