Review:
Momo has to confront the people in his life in this volume. We get to
see some of how Black Kitty formed originally, and how they reunite
for this new tour. They're meeting up again on different levels now,
because Momo isn't only playing and writing for Nino, and now he's
looking at his band as something separate. He also has to confront
his mother, though it's a little unclear why their relationship is
the way it is. Him and Yuzu seem to have similarly bad issues in
that regard.
As Momo seems to be getting better, Yuzu is going in the opposite
direction. Everything with Nino and his mom seems to be catching up
with him, and he's spiraling a little bit. Nino seems to be on the
cusp of realizing what could be between her and Yuzu.
Now, I do really enjoy this series, and I like the messy
relationships that there are. I'm enjoying the themes and the
intensity, and I like the way they try to say something and prove
something with music at times. But it's starting to bother me, how
Nino keeps singing her heart out only so Momo will hear her. There
was a moment a few volumes ago, where Nino realized the crowd was
there to hear them, and she got into that. And now I want her to
realize that she should be singing for herself. She doesn't need to
reach them or have them hear her, she needs to be doing this for
herself. That aspect was just starting to wear on me in this volume.
Either way, though, I look forward to seeing what happens with them
all next.
