Review:
I was pretty much ready to be done with this series. And then it had
to go and keep being interesting, ugh.
We discover some secrets regarding Taiga in this volume. He's been
keeping a lot from the kids, and is very stubborn about not telling
them anything. Only to discover that Ken thinks he should be honest,
and Asahi already knows everything.
A main theme in this series seems to be ambitions and dreams, and
going after them. We see that at the beginning of the volume with
Ken, and again at the end as they push to discover Taiga's.
My favorite character in this series is still Zen. He's adorable, and
so sweet, and he's there for Shimana even as she likes someone else.
Shimana is really the main part of this series that bothers me. She's
so focused on herself, and so dramatic. The way she blows up over little
things and blurts things out and runs away drives me crazy. She makes
me roll my eyes so many times, and she's the main reason that I'm
hesitant to keep reading more. But then it has to get deep with
Taiga, and interesting with the side characters. There was some
surprising depth in this volume, and I liked it. There was also a
side story of Taiga, Ken, and Rei when they were in high school, and
it was adorable.
I really like Zen and Ken. If this series focused more on them, I
would be hooked. As it is, I do and I don't want to keep going.
