Review:
This volume focuses solely on Shura, pretty much. She's disappeared
to her hometown, and so Rin and Yukio have been sent to help her. Rin
and Yukio are already on uneven ground, because Yukio has been acting
weird, and Rin is trying to find out why.
But then they find Shura, and realize she's dealing with a
long-standing agreement with a demon. She's at the point where she is
supposed to fulfill her part, and she's trying to refuse it while
realizing that she doesn't really have a choice. Of course, Rin and
Yukio have their own idea of how to deal with it.
I honestly did not really care about this arc. For some reason I
don't really find Shura that interesting? I do like Yukio and Rin's
relationship, and I liked seeing that grow. I don't mind Shura,
though, and I liked seeing when she was a kid with Fujimoto. She has
an interesting backstory.
This series has seemed to stray a little from the main plot line, but
I'm not really sure where it's going at this point. I'm still liking
it, though.
