Aimé ，

Y con esto me pongo al día， así que me pongo tristona。Este arco está siendo increíble y como ya dije en la reseña del tomo anterior， me encanta los temas que se están tratando y la forma en la que todo lo que Fushi cree conocer y saber de su familia y amigos se va deconstruyendo。Fushi no es humano y tal vez nunca llegue a entender a aquellos a los que se dedica a proteger。 Lo peor es ver cómo se va dando cuenta de esto。

Col ，

What a lovely cover， my favourite so far。 Fushi's golden glow， floating in the air， while Mizuha pulls him underwater， the rope around his neck instead of wrist， their contrasting body language。 Perfectly sums up part two。There're two more half-chapters left， I think， but I figure I ought to write this before any cliffhanger-induced speculation that'll get resolved in volume 17。 This is my favourite volume since Bon's introduction。 So many threads are coming together， and it seems the long setup What a lovely cover， my favourite so far。 Fushi's golden glow， floating in the air， while Mizuha pulls him underwater， the rope around his neck instead of wrist， their contrasting body language。 Perfectly sums up part two。There're two more half-chapters left， I think， but I figure I ought to write this before any cliffhanger-induced speculation that'll get resolved in volume 17。 This is my favourite volume since Bon's introduction。 So many threads are coming together， and it seems the long setup of the previous three volumes is moving this arc （by far the longest） to a conclusion。 A ton of elements felt almost like they were meant to cater specifically to me。First， tons more information about the knockers， and the return of Left Hand。 In fact， pretty much every question I had at the end of volume 16 was answered in the first few chapters。 While it still comes from Left Hand， it's at least something。 The knockers are gaining some personality they've desperately needed for a long while now。 Most interestingly to me， they seem to be paralleling Fushi's development in a more drawn-out and haphazard fashion。 At the same time， Fushi has been gaining similarities to the knockers （his use of the three warriors as human weapons， and a visual parallel to knocker infestation when he invades Izumi's body）。 My guess that Left Hand would be joined to Hayase's soul came true， but in reverse。 Left Hand seems to have gained Hayase's twisted love from his long association with her。 His gestures toward Fushi when he reveals himself are unmistakably seductive， and if my reading in chapter 145 is right， it's not Mizuha， but Left Hand who attempts to kiss Fushi。 The scene is ambiguous， and as Fushi notes earlier it's impossible to tell which mind is doing any particular thing。 It may be that the distinction will erode over time。 If their "hearts resonate" and they reside in the same body， are they meaningfully different？The second avenue of exposition is Izumi's childhood。 It's very fast but answers all the major questions （and even gives some characterization to Mizuha's dad）。 As bad a parent as Izumi was， it's easy to see how she went wrong， and the idea that her dad trained her husband as a sleeper agent is insanely creepy。 It's exquisite the way Izumi's parenting pushed Mizuha into her father and grandfather's arms。 This segment also answered one of my lingering questions about the historical knowledge of Fushi's existence。 The world at large does know of the knockers， but assumes they went extinct after Renril。 I suppose Fushi is obscure in Yanome because he spent so little of his life there and became famous much later。 Grandpa knew years ahead of time that Left Hand was living in Mizuha's body， and is actively working with the knockers in their secret sanctum， so I assume he'll have a role to play as things move forward。 Maybe Mizuha's dad can even get a little redemption （he does claim to love Izumi， after all。 Maybe he'll be the one to kill her knocker？）Tonari has a bit part in this volume。 Things are definitely getting shippy。 To be honest， I thought they would've been cute together back in volume 5， but Fushi was like， 4 years old at the time and then they parted for 40 years。 Now， I dunno。 It's still cute， but what， just Tonari is going to stay bound to the world forever？ And as Yuki's sister noted， Fushi doesn't even love his horse enough to give it a name。 He's still so stupid that he gives Mizuha half-answers that make it sound like he's in love with her。 He iced out his family because of his fear of losing face for his failure in creating the peaceful world。 Even if Tonari's been de-matured back to a 14 year old， Fushi still has miles to go before he can love another honestly。He's at least making a little progress。 His whole worldview is turned inside out this volume， as he confronts the impossibility of his quest， his absence of honest desire， and the possibility that it may not always be right to kill knockers， even if they're wrong for taking people's bodies。 I just hope he can make some breakthrough sooner rather than later。 At the very least he understands that the problem is now way bigger than he can handle alone。 A strange corollary to this development is Bon's role。 He's the only one of Fushi's family in the know， and he takes a fatherly role to Fushi。 He also seems to have gone back to his old ways。 He flip flops between telling Fushi killing knockers is good， to saying it's okay not to kill them， seemingly just to placate Fushi。 He lies to Fushi about Izumi's wishes。 Will Bon's regression have any consequences for Fushi's development/trust in his family？There are a lot of questions I could ask， but I have a feeling this arc is closer to its end than its beginning。 I just might find out what Bon would see when a successor dies。 Also， Eko appeared in this volume。 。。。more
