Review:
This series is
intense, and messy. This volume was a bit messy in plot, so I’m really not
going to go into detail.
Quite a bit
happened, for all of the characters, though, including some backstory. I’m
really enjoying the development of Soubi and Ritsuka, and their relationship.
There are a lot of other characters, too, and I’m having a hard time
remembering their names, but I am mostly liking seeing them develop. I feel bad
for Ritsuka, and am eagerly waiting to see what happens with him and his
brother. I’m not really liking his brother right now. And I feel kind of
terrible for Soubi.
Also, I love both
of them.
There’s a lot
happening in this series, and I’m really looking forward to seeing where it
goes to next.
Oh, also: I’m kind of going to miss the omnibus
editions. Surprising, but I like how big they are, all the color pages and extras.
I know there are some in the single volumes, but still. I kind of grew fond of
these ones.
