Review:
The villains that Motomi makes are never quite villains. They can be
awful, but they have their reasons, and slowly we get to see the
humanity in each of them. As we see, so early on in the series, when
Fumi unknowingly runs into Ataru. There's some conflicts as things
are becoming revealed.
Fumi makes a step forward in her
journey to understanding herself and the Queens inside of her. So far
we've only met the evil queen, who is strong but ruthless. This time
Fumi gets to see them, and we get to meet the “good” queen, only
she doesn't seem to know what is too far. Things are clearly not
quite so black and white here, as they're learning. Thankfully, we're
also seeing what a strong pull Kyutaro has on Fumi, as he gets to
pull her back to earth each time.
I'm probably being more hopeful here, as I'm seeing Kyutaro's
agreement with the adults crumbling. It just doesn't seem to make
sense—ever, but particularly in this scenario. It won't help
anything if he's keeping things from Fumi. And as Fumi starts
remembering and figuring things out, that's become apparent to him,
as well, I think. I hope, at least, because I hate those plot
devices.
I can't wait to read more.
