OMG. No sabía cómo iban a seguir la historia después del final del anterior tomo y AMÉ que fuera como lo hicieron (? Acá conocemos a un personaje crucial en la trama, Oluha. Quien justamente es el punto de unión entre la protagonista, Suu, y Kazuhiko, encargado de escoltarla en el Tomo 1.
Las autores incluyen otra canción, que de nuevo, refleja los sentimientos de los personajes y hace de puente para el desarrollo de la historia.
Lo que leemos en este tomo es algo anterior a la historia de los dos primeros. Me gustó muchísimo y hubieron un par de cosas que se descubrieron y con las que quedé ALUCINADA.

Apoyo mucho la motivación de Kazuhiko y no estoy segura de poder esperar para leer el último tomo!

This one begins with us finally getting a look at the real Ora all beautiful and dark curly hair.

I gotta say, this has definitely been my favorite book of the series so far. Seeing Sues relationship with Ora and realizing that before Sue fell in love with Kazuhiko, she actually fell in love with Ora and her voice. It was the first time she ever experienced those kind of emotions. They wrote Clover together and we got flashbacks of when she and Kazuhiko were together.

And Ora turning out to be a clover as well, made sense to the fact that they both had wings. And her power was interesting too.

things I liked:
-we have finally reached a good lyrics-to-story telling ratio
-and there were multiple songs! also helpful.
-this whole volume is a flashback, giving defined beginning and ending points, and that also helped the pacing and confusion issues
-its Really Sweet, especially the relationship between Oru and Sue
-shall not neglect to say that the art is still lovely and interestingly experimental

other things:
-the dark horse translation continues to be Highly Questionable- surely this is better in Japanese?

Volume three leaves off of the narrative that ended in volume two with such a cliffhanger. Instead, this volume delves into backstory. The art remains the best feature. Despite poor character development and a scant plot, more characters are introduced heedlessly and the protagonist feels lifeless. Sue is so blank, so devoid of any personality that she might as well be a doll.

On the plus side, there's homage to Phillip K. Dick's "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" (the book Bladerunner was based on). "Replicants" are mentioned, as is the scarcity of real animals.

Ora is reminiscent of Ai Yazawa's Nana in design, and she is beautifully rendered. If only this story was more fleshed out.
