Giselle and her comrades fight to get Ao back, but they struggle to get past Flamme’s Albert and Pain’s fierce resistance. Meanwhile, Ao wanders the depths of his memories and the past he’d forgotten is finally restored to him. Lost beneath deep, stagnant waters, the black painting Ao created so long ago is trying to blot out the world.
I want to like it more than I do, but the long stretches between volumes & the fact that it’s turned into an action-battle manga are making that difficult. Plus, it felt like in this volume we just kept jumping between different battles every few pages, making it hard for me to care about any battle in particular. 😅
