It’s getting messy but somehow that messiness is bringing everyone right where they should be. Loved this entire volume.

The halfway mark of this fascinating sci-fi mermaid melodrama. Having turned into a woman, Jimmy tries to tell Art that s/he's the same person but without use of his voice he can't get the message across. So he runs to Shonarch and moves in with him.
Shonarch is delighted thinking that his beloved finally returns his affections. However when he kisses her, she turns back into a child. Jimmy's still in love with Art no matter how nice Shonarch is to him.
Seth attracted to Shonarch finds himself jealous of his brother and tells Art that Jimmy's at Shonarch's. Art turns up but of course Jimmy, at this point has turned back into a woman and so refuses to see him.
Holly, Art's dance partner and ex girlfriend, shocks Art by telling him Jimmy left because he treated him as a child instead of a lover. She wants Art to come to Russia with her and now Art no longer has Jimmy to worry about he has no reason not to go.
Jimmy has a premonition that something awful will happen to Art in Russia and begs Shonarch to help him. Meanwhile Teruto in the body of Gil Owen is plotting the destruction of the human race....
Another wonderful volume with some absolutely gorgeous artwork. Chock full of melodrama with love triangles galore. While it is gloriously sweet, there is still something disturbing about the Jimmy/Art relationship - Jimmy is still a child, both in looks and actions.
