Please Save My Earth, Vol. 17

ぼくの地球を守って [Boku no Chikyū wo Mamotte] #17

by Saki Hiwatari

Are the woes of the present meant to be endured for the promise of a better future or to atone for past wrongs? In a captivating epic of love, fate and faith, seven young people must struggle with this spiritual puzzle as their alien past lives threaten the future.

Mokuren yearns for friendship, but she keeps overhearing the members of the KK research team bad-mouthing her. Handsome Gyokuran treats her with kindness, yet Mokuren is instead drawn to bad-tempered Shion, since he's the only one who can see her as a fellow mortal. When the team learns that their star system has been destroyed, Gyokuran turns to Mokuren for a miracle, not understanding that she is just as emotionally devastated and powerless as everyone else.

Meanwhile, in the present world, Jinpachi and issei learn how to see Alice's dreams, but she's reluctant to visit the painful events of her past...

Gyokuran is an assracket of the highest order.

I was quite bored by this volume :( Most of it was the characters talking about their feelings...the few actual events that happened were things we've known about before, just seen from a different perspective.

I feel like Mokuren is a more complex character than I ever gave her credit for.
