This volume has grabbed a hold of my heart. Asagiri has become my favorite character and Asagiri and Ukyo are deffinetly my favorite couple. I must say that Tanemura-sensei has gone really dark in this story. It is bloody and it stills keep her touch of tragedy.

The Shura Yugenden arc reaches its conclusion. Though the ultimate outcome of the battle is predictable, what Sakura discovers in mid-battle should take you by surprise.

The Review

Volume 7 is a mixed bag. In addition to battle scenes, there’s drama and suspense. Most of the romantic anguish stems from the conclusion of the Ukyo/Asagiri fight, and those who prefer their love stories tragic will eat up the ultimate fate of the star-crossed lovers.

There’s also angst of a different sort bet...more

~3.5/5
[Taken from my blog: http://geekyreading.blogspot.com/2012... ]

I haven’t really been a huge follower of this book, and I’m not sure why. It just hasn’t grabbed my attention, or kept my attention, as well as I would like it to. I read it, and I’m starting to remember what happens in each volume better, but I don’t think about it much after I finish it. It doesn’t seem to be leaving much of a standing impression, I guess.

I haven’t really been a huge follower of this book, and I’m not sure why. It just hasn’t grabbed my attention, or kept my attention, as well as I would like it to. I read it, and I’m starting to remember what happens in each volume better, but I don’t think about it much after I finish it. It doesn’t seem to be leaving much of a standing impression, I guess.
The first chapter of this volume continues showing Asagiri and Ukyo’s story, which I actually enjoyed quite a bit. I found that I liked them, and that their relationship is right up there with Hayate and Kohaku’s relationship, which is still my favorite. My liking of them definitely made what happened between them even worse, and I was really not happy about it. This carries into the next chapter, where Aoba and Sakura have been reunited and they are all running away, trying to get out but end up being caught by Enju (Sakura’s somewhat-evil brother).
Within these chapters, there are some moments that I will not explain in depth, but that make me dislike Enju even more. He’s just… I don’t like what he’s doing to Sakura. There’s a point where she can choose to turn her back on him, and while she should openly fight with him, I understand why she doesn’t. Even though he’s not the same person she knew, he is still her brother, and that’s hard to turn away from.
There’s some fighting between everyone, and Sakura ends up in this mirror world, where people that are killed by her sword go or something. While there, she finds out that Enju has been working to get the pieces of Princess Kaguya back together, which is kind of a bad idea. Mostly she’s upset because she thinks Kaguya will be replacing her, but otherwise I’m not sure what to think of it. I didn’t think Kaguya was a bad person (is she, and I just haven’t been paying attention?), but I’m curious as to what she is like, especially because this doesn’t sound like it could be good in any way. And we got to see her, kind of, and that was definitely creepy. Maybe it’s just that the whole, bringing people back from the dead is a bad thing? ‘cause I know it is.
Then Fujimurasaki (the emperor or whatever) shows up and they all run away as the ‘bad guys’ hide out is set on fire. The volume ends with Sakura promising to defeat Enju, which is good, but makes me wonder what is going to happen next, since apparently it’s moving into a new story arc.
After that, there are some comic strips showing the other team (the ‘bad guys’ or whatever), in which they are goofing around and doing human things, while not being very human. It was entertaining, but a little weird to see all of them acting comically, when I have only seen them serious and fighting thus far.
Again, this doesn’t seem to be giving me much of a longing impression, but I do mostly enjoy the books when I get them. I’m not even thinking about stopping the series or anything (I have read all of Tanemura’s previous published books, and don’t intend to stop with this one; besides, I am enjoying it), but I hope that it starts getting better, and I begin enjoying it even more and feeling more strongly about it.(less)

The first volume to get four stars; for the first time, it deserves it. The current story arc gets wrapped up spectacularly and for once the plot twists are genuinely entertaining and not utterly ridiculous. We see Sakura as the heroine this series needs and she justifies why she's the main protagonist. She's actually pretty badass when she swings Chizakura around. It's a first but I'm actually really looking forward to volume eight.

The pacing on this series has improved by over 9000! :D Remember the days when it was so jam packed that I was in a constant state of what the what? Now there are coherent storylines! Now I am freed from my confusion and able to coo over the epic friendship of Sakura and Asagiri! Now I can spend entire volumes in a state of feelings implosion! 4 stars

So, Ukyo and Asagirl don't battle after all. Things get really sweet until Enju uses Sakura to begin battling her friends. She ends up killing Ukyo and attacking Aoba. The end of the volume leaves is with Sakura vowing to defeat Enju.

Die Fortsetzung war unglaublich. Meine Gefühle waren ständig in Aufruhr. Erst freu ich mich, dann kommt es wieder Schlag auf Schlag. Und am Ende, Entschlossenheit. Ich schätze mal, dass dieser Band einer der Schlüsselgeschichten der ganzen Serie beherbergt. Es bleibt spannend.

Als kleines Special gab es dieses Mal ein “4-Panel-Special”, also eine Art Kurzgeschichte zu den Sakura Hintergründen, in 4 Bildern gefasst.
