Review:
We get some new insight into the relationship between Asahi and the
Water Dragon. It's interesting to see how they spent their time
during the years. Later in the volume, we get to see Asahi testing
their relationship, as well. How she decides to push him into
helping, relying on him and almost daring him to do something for
her. They have an odd agreement between them, and I like it.
Which is confusing to me, since I also really like Subaru. He's sweet
and would be my clear pick, if the Water Dragon weren't winning me
over so easily. I'm very conflicted about it.
Aside from this turmoil of relationships, we get a new plot point,
as—unsurprisingly--another village decides it could use Asahi's in
with the Water Dragon. It should lead to some interesting action.
Another new point is that, since the beginning, this has felt like a
very quiet series. Asahi lost her voice early on, and it has had an
overtone of silence, with only her thoughts. In this volume that
changes, and it adds a new voice, and gives her the opportunity to
finally demand things and make her voice heard, instead of other
people deciding things for her. It's also another moment of progress between her and the Water Dragon.
This series is surprisingly addicting, and I'm very interested for
the next one.
