Review:
The plot line regarding Shura's demon concludes in the first half of
this volume. It's a team effort, though the wrong team ends up with
the specimen. Either way, Shura is free now.
The main plot includes Shiemi confronting Rin's feelings for her. She
doesn't really know what romantic love entails, and Izumo decides to
give her some examples in manga with a sleepover. It's a bit
conflicting to me, because while she gives Rin an answer, she has
different reasons for them. She thinks she needs to mature more, as
she's still figuring out what she wants to do after graduation, and
she's still trying to become a stronger person. I respect the the reason for her decision, even if I feel bad for Rin.
Meanwhile, Bon is following Lightning around for some detective work.
I've fallen a bit behind in this series, but I'm still quite enjoying
it. I think, since it's been so long, and since the releases are a
bit spaced out, it can be hard to keep track of all the little
details of the main plot line. All the stuff with the Illuminati and
who's doing what in regards to it, is a bit hard to remember after so
long between volumes.
