review 1: I think the main reason I gave this book three stars instead of the usual four is that the layout was choppier than usual for me. I had a harder time differentiating characters (with the notable exception of Hotaru, who was totally HBIC this issue) and the introduction of the new characters wasn't as well-defined as usual. However, I did enjoy the reveal of Natsume's background, as well as his history with Luca-pyon (I can't help it, I feel compelled to add the "pyon" to Luca's name at all times.)
review 2: This isn't the strongest of the series. It spends most of its pages on a flashback, and while that flashback gives important character information for two of the most interesting characters in the series, it goes on for too long and is in the midst of a res... morecue opperation that never gets anywhere in this volume because of the flashback. One more important flaw: The tale is supposed to be told by young student, Luca, about how he met Natsume, the boy they're trying to rescue. But some of the events of the flashback were focused around people and conversations that Luca wasn't there to witness. The audience (both the listening students and the readers) learns the whole story about how and why things happened, but this is not information that Luca (then or now) should have. Don't get me wrong. I really enjoy this manga. Its characters are engaging, the setting is mysterious, the plots are generally inventive if a little over-done. But this is not a credit to the series as a whole. less
