Review:
Momochi House is under attack in this volume. Crazy things are
happening in the house, attacking and turning dark, staining some
yokai. When we meet the cause of it, they claim that Aoi is an
impostor, not the real Nue.
Amidst all that, we're learning some ominous things about Aoi and the
Nue, and Himari is still determined to save him. The more we learn
about the position of Nue, the more bad it seems for Aoi.
Aside from those dangers, there's Aoi and Himari's relationship. I
like the idea of their relationship, and I enjoy how sweet and naive
Aoi is—not understanding why they shouldn't sleep in the same bed,
for example. But they still seem so awkward together, to unsteady,
and Himari is constantly getting embarrassed and pushing him away,
that it's driving me crazy. What's the point of being together if
they're not actually growing closer?
The dangers aren't much of a worry for me. Even the scare in the
middle of this volume—it was handled too easily for it to be real.
And it was actually more anticlimactic than anything, which is a little disappointing.
I enjoy this series, but it also bothers/frustrates me at points.
