We're in what must be the third big arc of the story, and it's definitely up there with the first arc.

I thought it ended with volume 11, when they wrapped up everything quite nicely, so I was very surprised and pleased to see another volume.  I finished it yesterday, and it's still going well -- the new arc is promising (if not as solidly as the original one)...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/75688537">more...</a>]]></body>
