Goodreads Synopsis:
When Seimei
refuses to fight alongside Nisei against an enraged Moonless, it cuts
the final tie in the web of manipulation that binds the dirtiest Fighter
to his heartless Sacrifice. Meanwhile, while looking at his brother’s
photo album, Ritsuka discovers new information about his old self that
doesn’t match up.
Review:
Several things are
still the same as in the last volume. Seimei is still horrible, and I still
don’t understand what his plan is. Nisei is also horrible, although I guess I
just care about him less. We did get some of their backstory in this volume,
though. So we got to see how twisted their relationship has always been.
I still love Soubi,
even if he is still confusing and frustrating me. I want him to do something
already.
The bro-ship
between Ritsuka, Youji and Natsuo is great. I don’t know why I like their
friendship so much, but I really do. They spend a lot of time together in this
volume, too, going to Ritsuka’s house to look for clues. Their meeting with his
mother is interesting, and deserving. They bring back the topic of Ritsuka’s
forgotten past, which I am now curious about again. It’s been several volumes
since I’ve even thought about it, but it’s still a looming mystery for Ritsuka.
They also spend
some time thinking about Soubi and the mess with Seimei, before Natsuo
disappears to introduce a new character. And some possible problems between
Natsuo and Youji is hinted at, which I’m not looking forward to.
I love this series,
and now that I’m fully caught up again, I’m made aware of how long it might be
before the next volume is released. This series has a long time between release
dates, and we’re all caught up with Japan. I still love it, and will be waiting
not-so-patiently for the next volume.
