Review:

Disclosure: I haven’t read any of the previous books in this series.
Since I haven’t read any of the previous volumes in this series, I had no idea what to expect. I was surprised to find that it’s very episodic, with not much of a large plot line, so easy to just jump into.
There’s a gang of characters here, and they’re all competing, with underlying unrequited (and possibly requited) romances mixed in. Sakura and Rinne are working together to solve some spirit mysteries, one for a dog and another for a demon plant, then working in a team to collect charms on a tour group.
It was surprisingly entertaining, actually, and I enjoyed reading this volume. The relationships were pretty easy to figure out, and I liked that. The artwork is rather average, though. But it’s still made me intrigued to maybe catch up on one of her series being released.


A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!
