Review:
We finally get to see what happened to Chise in this volume.
As she's with Josef, there's a struggle between them. And then Chise
is forced to go back and watch her past. We see when she was younger,
when things were good... and then when things turned bad. The
contrast feels like it should be unbelievable, because you don't want
to believe that a person can change so much, can turn in such a way.
But it happens. The way that it's handled, and the way that Chise
overcomes it and how she is forced to accept and decide regarding it,
was really well done. I appreciated her stance on what happened.
And then we see Josef's past.
It's all very sad and messy, and it results in an equally messy end.
Though I think that Chise comes out of it all right, even for the
better in some ways.
After all of that, it looks like a new plot line is starting. They're
off to a new journey, and I'm intrigued by where it will go next.
