3.0

~3/5
(May contain spoilers.)

I've thought before about picking this series up, because it looks really pretty. This volume left me feeling rather lost, but I do think if I were to start from the beginning, that I would enjoy it more.

Lag returns in this volume, seeing his friends and the villagers again after what I guess has been a long time. He's apparently grown a lot in that time, and everyone is really happy to see him. It's heartwarming? And now he's determined to fight Spiritus on his own, and they head off to the capital for the first time.

The capital is an odd place, and it's a surprise to all of them. (It would probably be a bigger revelation to me if I understood more what was happening.) The capital is not at all what they thought it would be, and even seems to be a lie to what they've been told.

I'm intrigued by what the reveal with the capital means, but since I've missed so much of the series (all of it), I don't quite understand enough to keep reading. It is a pretty art style, though some of the expressions don't convey too much at times. I can see why some people would be following along, though.



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