And you know what, despite any reservations I might have about the translators at Tokyopop? I am SO GLAD that they have Tactics instead of ADV. GUYS, BUY THE FIRST TWO FROM TOKYOPOP INSTEAD OF ADV, they do wickle Kantarou with the most ANNOYING baby voice EVER, but it's gotta be better than what ADV did. *shudders* Anyway. The stoooooory. I love stories about sisters who will do anything for the other, and this one mashes pretty much all my buttons. Yes, I do have a button labelled "Sickly, sweet, self-sacrificing psychics." (Alliteration ftw!) I try not to admit it too often. I also have a weakness for Haruka Doing The Right Thing (and being asked to teach Kantarou the way of the manslut!) The ending of that chapter made me sad for all involved, which - doesn't usually happen. PLUS, they managed to put foreshadowing and THREATS OF DOOM into the silly cheering-up story that followed! What the hell! (By which I mean: DID LIKE, PLEASE DO IT AGAIN.)

Oh ... I think some pieces of an overarching plot are starting to swirl together. I can't wait to see what the deal is with the creepy little girl and the ... priest?

It seems to be off to kind of a slow start - at the end of the third volume they're still laying the groundwork for main plot? Are there really only nine volumes?

Creepy! The praying mantis devouring the butterfly as a foreshadowing of things to come? Creepy! And then the priest and the beginning of an arc. Also, every time Kantaro thinks that he and Haruka are becoming friends, Haruka reminds him that they are just master and servant, nothing more. And Kantaro looks so sad...

Wow. I loved it.

Great art, interesting storyline, different from the anime, but still the same.
