Review:
We come to the conclusion of the arc involving Aoi's parents. It's
rather sad, mostly. It's a sad ending for the little girl, and it's
really bittersweet for Aoi. It's both good and bad.
Though, mostly, I'm wondering why we didn't see more of the
connection between Aoi and the Nue. It was hinted earlier that Himari
needs to not separate them so much, and yet nothing happens regarding that.
After that, the house throws a surprise party for Aoi. Himari even
finds some magic fireworks. It's a nice reprieve, but it also ends up
giving Himari a new insight into Aoi's point of view, the reason he's
stayed so content in that house for so long--his purpose. It's sweet, but it's also
a little sad, given the reason he was hanging on.
This volume was really good. It was at times depressing and beautiful
and touching. I'm not sure where else this series is going, but I am
enjoying it so far.
