Did someone say childhood friends?

Shoujo manga has trained me to believe these are the greatest most important relationships, full stop. I am super ready to read the story of the reconciliation of Shuri and Kohaku as facilitated by Hayate as mediator. Did you see that panel at the end when he picked the both of them up? I think my heart grew three sizes just then.

I'll see a doctor. Right after Shuri is reintegrated into the village and all the ninjas live happily ever after.

So the art is still as gorgeous and ever and the backstory involving the ninja was awesome - but other than that, nothing special is going on in this volume of Sakura Hime. I think it's time for me to accept that this Tanemura is different than the Tanemura who gave us treasures like Full Moon wo Sagoshite and Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne; a good few of the plot elements in this story feel borrowed from other sources. Plus, it feels like Sakura's been sidelined from most of the action - and this is he...more

Volume 5 of Sakura Hime revolves around Byakuya and Kohaku.

Byakuya continues her battle with Maimai and we get to see her secret- she also can transform. In the battle, she was able to pull out Sakura's sword, but Sakura was able to feel it and call it back. Maimai doesn't die and Byakuya finds the key to the tower.

Kohaku battles with Shuri, but most of it is the back story of Shuri. He quickly becomes a character that is misunderstood and likable- and of course his defeat is heartbreaking.

We not only get several fight scenes but we also start learning the past of the missing ninja via several flashbacks. As time passes I can't help but like the 'bad' guys a little. So far all the characters in the manga have an interesting past that makes them all flawed, and to me that makes them more real as characters.

Ich war den Tränen im 4. Band schon sehr nahe, als Byakuya da plötzlich in der Mangel von MaiMai steckte und der Tod schon ziemlich laut rief. Doch die plötzliche Nacht und die Verwandlung warfen Fragen auf: Wer war Byakuya wirklich? Meine Vermutung: Kaguya selbst.

Die Geschichte von Kohaku, Hayate und Shuri – und auch Aoba/Prinz Ora hat mich total bewegt. Vor allem die Darstellung (also Zeichnung) der kleinen Kohaku war soooo süß. Die Geschichte dahinter umso trauriger. Man versteht nun endlich,...more

Interesting volume. Here we see the backstory of Enju's minions. But somehow I am starting to dislike Sakura.

I have become completely bored with this series. I think it's time to move on to something else.
