The Earl and The Fairy

review 1: The series concludes with this volume. I don't know if the novel went on to explore more, but this is all that was ever illustrated as a manga. I found it to be a satisfying series, though I wish I could have found out who the mastermind was. I wasn't sure if he and Edgar's slaver (revealed in this volume) were the same man. However, I was pleased nonetheless. I enjoyed being in this world for all four volumes. My favorite moment in this volume was when Lydia tried to trap the hobgoblin's soul into a bottle, but ended up being trapped inside it instead. That was a surprise, and I'm not often surprised by manga. Her empty shell of a body was given to slavers, and Edgar became quite fierce with desperation to rescue her. Yet watching Edgar cradle the bottle protectively went... more a long way towards convincing the reader that he had feelings for her. Even Lydia's stubbornness had to acknowledge that in the end. The story ended with the slaver and Fogman mysteries being solved and Lydia & Edgar's relationship in a state of warm friction. I had the feeling that their adventures continued on, but in a very positive direction. Good read.
review 2: I have read that this is the final volume of this series. It did not feel like a final volume to me...perhaps because I have not read the other three volumes. But, I find it sad if it is. That's because I really liked Lydia and Edgar, and I long to see more happen between them, especially in the romance department, and this ending means it won't. I really liked the characters in this volume. I felt a connection with Lydia almost instantly, and it grew deeper as the volume went along. I also felt that she brought out the best in Edgar. I love that she made him stop feeling sorry for himself, and realize that things are getting better and could only get better later on. Rosalie, I did not grow as attached to, but I still somewhat liked her. And, I especially liked the cat, Nico, as well. As for Raven, I wasn't that impressed with him in the main story, but came to really like him in the bonus strips. I especially liked the one about "Sweet Nothings". As far as this goes as a series, I can see how it could have continued after this volume was over. Sad to see it end. I really need to read the first three volumes. I think I'd most likely like the anime series as well, so I might should watch that later on.----------------- This volume was provided to me by VIZ Media, via Edelweiss.
