Uno shojo majokko come tanti altri. Per fortuna è breve e non la tira troppo per le lunghe. I cattivi non sono cattivi e i buoni sono abbastanza stupidi. Finale telefonato. Asuka jr. è un cretino. Disegni bellissimi ma esageratamente pieni di fronzoli.

This one is super cute. It fills that void of wanting to see the characters after the end. Plus, it has really cute short stories.

A little bit of cuteness overload for all of the fans of Saint Tail.

I'm usually not a big fan of special volumes and bonus stories. Sometimes they actually add something to the main plot but most of the times they're just wasting paper and ink. Is this volume a waste of paper?

Meh... We do read about Meimi and Asuka's first kiss and there a short story about Seira and Sawatari but the other stories doesn't have anything to do with Saint Tail. They're the first stories that Tachikawa-sensei published at the beginning of her career. One is very confusing, the other is OK.

So, yeah, not totally a waste of paper...
