Ok, things in this volume definitely take a turn for the creepy. The reader gets some more back story on Ruka and also on Lucia!! (*SQUEE!*) Can you tell I've been waiting for that part???? Plus the connection between Lola and Layla is also revealed!

So still soooo loving this Manga! I've pretty much put my whole issues with the whole lolita thing to the side. (At least for the moment. I still keep forgetting the main characters are as young as they are, so every once in a while when the story re...more

So still soooo loving this Manga! I've pretty much put my whole issues with the whole lolita thing to the side. (At least for the moment. I still keep forgetting the main characters are as young as they are, so every once in a while when the story reminds me of their age it does make me have to think about how absent all the parents are. But really the story itself has drawn me in and I just want to read more!)
I really love how the author has started to flesh out Lola. She zips around taking over Nachash's place in the group and she always seems know so much...and then she gets a whiff of chocolate! The contrast is sooo funny.
Then there's Sonoka and her minions. The author does an amazing job at making her uber-scary. Plus there are some scenes where she is...oh how should I put it? Completely kookoo for cocoa puffs, if you know what I mean? The amazing part is, even if I just had the pictures of her face to go by, and I couldn't read the words, I would still realize that there's just something a little off with that girls brain. Yes, the artwork is that good. The author also does a really good job of showing just how heartless and crazy she really is. (I won't say how since I don't want to spoil it.)
Also in relation to some of the back stories, the author reveals just enough to keep me wanting more. Sometimes I get really annoyed with a story if there are too many teasers. The author's found a way to balance it really well. I still don't know everything, and some of the answers that have been given have just led to more questions, but more in a "gimme more" way than in a "ugh, not again" way
Still kinda creeped out by Yoshiki. I know he's hiding something. There's some stuff revealed about him too, but deep down I still don't think he is a good guy.
Definitely can't wait to get my hands on the next book in the series. This series really is great and I've been enjoying it immensly. If you've decided to read it, especially if it's because of me bringing it to your attention, I hope you are enjoying it too!(less)

This one is divided up nicely between the bad guys’ pov and the good. It begins with the bad as Sonoka’s minions strive to get more power to kill Lucia and Sumire. Ruka is granted more of the fragments (the things they pull out of the souls of people who can see the supernatural viruses) after we get to see how she became what she is and ended up enslaved to Sonoka. Both Guy and Ruka are mere puppets for Sonoka who is working to clear the way for the return of the ‘true god’ Aion-Sama who will r...more
