I didn't understand all of this, but the artwork was outstanding, and the dialogue was fun.

Wow, Really enjoyed this volume & the Mother's Rosary Arc & Yuuki & Asuna are so sweet together as friends! : ) though Yuuki's real life situation is really sad, omg, I won't spoil but, the feels..been really enjoying the SAO series both manga and anime, Can't believe I'm almost finished! Definitely recommend both watching the first season & reading the Aincrad manga volumes first if you want to get into Sword Art Online : ) The anime is on Hulu, Crunchyroll & Netflix : )

Otro tomo que es mas que nada divertido. En este tomo Yukki le pide ayuda a Asuna y se efrentan al Boss. Ya tenemos algunos guiños al trasfondo de la serie, aunque nada que haga que puedas adivinarlo. Es muy entretenido y ligero de leer. Tiene momentos tiernos y momentos en los que Asuna demuestra su inteligencia. Me gusta ver ese lado de Asuna. Este arco me viene gustando. Mas de lo que lo hizo en su momento el anime.

I really like this arc in the Sword art universe, it has a pretty different feel from the other post aincrad arcs and I feel more of the authors evolution, I really enjoyed this volume tho I'm stuck with some questions I hope get answered in the final book.

Alright! Beat the boss and achieved their goal! Kirito knew he was needed but didn't interfere, he is definitely awesome!
There must be more to Yuuki and her party than is being said still..... why did she just log out?!

In Summary
If you like fight scenes and confrontations, you will get your fill as Asuna and the six Sleeping Knights strive to take down the 27th Floor Boss ahead of the other guilds. While Asuna does play a key role, Yuuki is the MVP of the battle. This volume focuses almost entirely on external challenges best faced with a sword, but as it closes, it looks like the struggles ahead are shifting toward the internal type.
The Review
Asuna’s mom makes only a brief appearance at the beginning of this volume, as if to remind readers about Asuna’s horrible real life, and then the rest follows Asuna’s interaction with Yuuki’s six-person guild inside New Aincrad. No sooner have the Sleeping Knights explained their goal of having their names inscribed on the Monument of Swordsmen than Asuna is fighting alongside them.
As in Volume 1, the manga follows the anime storyline fairly closely. That means battle scenes make up the majority of these chapters. The fight sequences are occasionally difficult to follow, but one advantage the manga has over the anime is the Background Guide, which provides better understanding on player strategy and interaction within New Aincrad. With action driving the plot so quickly forward, readers don’t really get a chance to know the Sleeping Knights as individuals, with the obvious exception of Yuuki. I had trouble remembering the names of the five non-Yuuki Knights, and the only one who left any sort of impression was Siune, mainly because she pairs up with Asuna to provide backup support.
Collaborating with the Sleeping Knights brings out a different Asuna than we’ve seen in other groups. Within SAO, she was at the vanguard as one of her guild’s top fighters. The skills of the Sleeping Knights, however, far exceed hers so she can’t play the role of elite swordswoman. As such, even though Yuuki recruited Asuna based on her fighting skills, Asuna winds up as group strategist, guiding them past the hazards inside and out of the boss’ chamber, while Yuuki takes the flashy part of ultimate fighter.
Extras include embedded Background Guide notes, the title page in color, a bonus mini-manga about Asuna’s friends preparing food, afterword manga, and sketch from Reki Kawahara.
