Forward, young Ryuo! May your Bishop's Path carve a rainbow into the spirit of the girl who shut herself off in a rain of sorrow!!
I can see why this novel series keeps topping the Japanese sales sale charts. I rarely read two books in the same series in a row, I tend to feel like I have to take a break with another book or two before continuing with a series. Yet with this one, I jumped straight to the second book and would have picked up the third one if it had been translated. So please Bookwalker, hurry up!
