Lunar Legend Tsukihime, Volume 6 by Sasaki Shōnen

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is more of a review of the series as a whole rather than just this issue. With that said Tsukihime is easily one of Nasu's best works. While it has some flaws here and there, the VN I think is where he is at his best in terms of writing and pacing despite it still being slow at times.

This manga takes the first route of the VN and covers mostly that while splashing in other bits of information from the other routes to make a whole complete story. If I am being blunt, this is probably the best version of this route.

I enjoy the romance between Shiki and Arcueid, plus while I think the artwork of the sequel series Melty Blood is slightly better, the artwork fits the more subdued feeling of the series and this story.

Overall I am happy I read this series, mostly because the original VN is what got me into writing in the first place.
