Review:


I missed a volume, and apparently I missed some very important plot, as well.

The faeries have taken over, and now everyone is fighting each other, and Asta has only a few people with him attempting to save everyone else. It's a long and intense fight as Asta works to save a select few from the faeries in different areas, and then work together to stop them at other areas of the kingdom. This includes a short stop in the town that Asta and Yuno grew up, where they get to show how far they've grown.

There's a lot of growth in a few different relationships here, and it's nice to see. We're also shown yet again just how strong Yuno is, quite what a prodigy he is. In such a way that it's easy to believe he would become the wizard king and it would need someone very powerful to compete with him, and it makes sense that Asta would need to be strong in the exact opposite way, thus him having anti-magic.

This was actually an okay volume. I haven't been following this very closely, but this was an interesting change to see, since most of this has been much smaller-scale battles and competitions.


A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!
