Fantastic story and artA fantastic story with compelling characters and great art, not to mention some pretty decent humor。 What it lacks in romance it makes up for in subtext and action。 (I still think it's heading toward romance though。。。) Fantastic story and artA fantastic story with compelling characters and great art, not to mention some pretty decent humor。 What it lacks in romance it makes up for in subtext and action。 (I still think it's heading toward romance though。。。) 。。。more
Mark,
Over half this book is the knock-down, drag-out final match between Haruka/Kanata and Emily/Claire。 It captures the difficulty of four good friends playing a game where only two can win with a major prize on the line。 While the denouement might be a little pat, it’s still very sweet and incredibly cathartic given that the majority of this volume is so intense。This is also where the anime ended, so I am really looking forward to seeing where the story goes from here。 The art’s still good and I co Over half this book is the knock-down, drag-out final match between Haruka/Kanata and Emily/Claire。 It captures the difficulty of four good friends playing a game where only two can win with a major prize on the line。 While the denouement might be a little pat, it’s still very sweet and incredibly cathartic given that the majority of this volume is so intense。This is also where the anime ended, so I am really looking forward to seeing where the story goes from here。 The art’s still good and I continue to give it credit for not being AS fan service-y as it could be, despite non-stop bikinis。 。。。more
