review 1: It was really interesting to see Arisa's past in this volume and how King came to be as well as how her and Midori's relationship began. It was also interesting to see how all the characters are developing and all the different relationships. I look forward to seeing what happens next with Arisa and Tsubasa. Contains Chapters: 35 - 38Chapter 35: The Clockwork ClownChapter 36: A Bouquet for KChapter 37: The Two KingsChapter 38: The King's Smile
review 2: Arisa is a multiple layered story with mystery elements, which are all coming together in these later volumes. It would be pointless to start here - go back to the beginning and proceed in order.** Since we are so close to the end of the series and it is a mystery at heart I will keep all discussion in this revi... moreew general and it will have NO SPOILERS for any volumes. **Natsumi Ando has crafted a tense, layered battle between Tsubasa and The King over the course of ten volumes. Here we get a lot of answers and background filled in as the stage is set for the next, and penultimate, installment of the main story. Everything builds well and is internally consistent, although a number of things throughout the series strain credulity from a "realistic" point of view. It didn't bother me though - the escalating tension, interesting developments and characters and ample twists and surprises more than made up for being a little heavy on the drama here and there. The art continues to perfectly compliment the story. It's generally simplistic in backgrounds but they do what they need to and the character work, from expressions to framing to great use of shading is excellent and really conveys atmosphere and emotion.But perhaps the best part is that I still can't predict exactly how it's all going to end. I love a good mystery and Natsumi Ando has crafted one of the best I've read in a long time. Really looking forward to volume 11.Highly recommended. less
