***SPOILERS***
After the drudgery of the last volume and all of its teen angst, I was glad to have a manga volume where things are a bit more normal.
I'm glad that Kouki and Rin have settled so that they are good friends. I still wish that they could be a couple, but since I've heard negative things about the manga's end, I'm betting that's not in the cards. Still, I just liked seeing the two work together in trying to score her official paperwork from her birth.
I'd forgotten about Masako, but I was glad to see her. More than that, I was very glad to see her and Rin finally meet. Since the meeting went well, I think Rin would try to visit Masako after Masako has her baby.
I can understand Rin's feelings of loyalty to Daikichi. After all, he was the one to save her as a child and he's been her father. I wonder if she'll have a chat with Daikichi on why he decided to take her in.
Beyond that, I don't find much to talk about. This volume seemed to be more about closing plot threads, which I suppose is only normal since there's only one more volume (and whatever evils it has in store for me).
On the Yen Press side of things, the Japanese honorifics are retained, but I was a bit disappointed that Rin's referring to herself as "oneechan" (or the like since I've not seen the Japanese) when talking about being Masako's child's sibling. There are also some translator notes, which I always welcome.
In the end, this penultimate volume of the manga series was better than the previous volume, but it still lacks the charm of the first four volumes.
Without me being negative, when is the final volume scheduled?
ReplyDeleteVolume 7 is not the penultimate volume. Volume 8 is due out in April and finally volume 9 is due in August.
DeleteMan, I had that wrong in my chart then. ^_^;

ReplyDeleteWhy shouldn't she use Oneechan if she is the older sister?
I was referring to the adaptation choice. ^_^;;;
DeleteI've been meaning to read this. don't know why i've been putting it off for so long. but you, sir, have just inspired me. im gonna go into my nerd cave now
ReplyDeleteThe first four volumes are very good.
DeleteFeel free to let me know what you think.
DeleteYes, you said you were disappointed with her calling herself Oneechan in the adaptation, that's why I asked why is that a problem because it seems right to me. I don't see why you need to get sarcastic about it as if I asked something stupid but hey, suit yourself.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't being sarcastic. ^_^;;; I thought you misunderstood me, so I was clarifying.
DeleteI didn't misunderstand anything you wrote. The problem as I just realized is you're missing a 'not' in that sentence so it's saying the opposite of what you meant to say.
ReplyDeleteWell, I apologize for the misunderstanding. Hopefully, we're all square now. ^_^
Deletethanks for share.
