This volume... prepare to be an emotional wreck because that's what seems to drive this series! DX I am completely in love with it but the mangaka really does love messing with the reader's head!
Artwork is fantastic!
Characters are so enjoyable... minus one. (I cannot stand Jiki. -_-")
Plot, though confusing at times, is action-packed and intriguing.
All-in-all, another well-rounded volume. There's even some funny bits towards the end which makes up for all the PAIN AND TORMENT you will go through in some of the chapters! *Sobs* Gareki! Yogi! My heart! *Slaps self* ... *Ahem*
Go on! If you've read all the way up to this point in the series, you might as well continue! It only gets better from here... I hope! *Sobs some more*
Quick review time yet again, guys~! So let's run through once more!
1. Hirato and Akari are still going at it and it's priceless. XD (Look for the bonus material at the end! One word: EPIC.)
2. Everything Gareki was feeling came to a breaking point. ;-; And Yogi's reaction is heart-breaking itself.
3. The way Yogi becomes so serious after that just destroyed me! DX I can't stand it when he's unhappy!
4. Akari and Hirato made hints about that problem of Yogi's... and I'm increasingly curious about what's going on. Some of the things they mentioned... are making me suspicious that it's not exactly what I first thought it was.
5. AZANA. *SOBS*
6. Jiki's ability is cool, even though I still have my problems with him.
7. Uro x Iva x Tsukumo = BAD. ASS.
8. THEY DIDN'T SHOW GAREKI'S FACE WHEN YOGI SAID THE PERFECT THING TO MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER! DX WHY IS IT THAT EVEN WHEN THE MANGAKA DOES LET IT PLAY OUT LIKE I WANT IT TO, I STILL DON'T GET TO SEE HOW GAREKI REACTED?! THIS IS IMPORTANT, MANGAKA! AND YOUR TROLLING IS GOING TO BREAK ME AT THIS RATE! (Which is basically me saying that the mangaka is amazingly-awesome-sauce and deserves all the love because THEY KEEP DOING THIS TO ME!!!!)
9. I got to understand Jiki a lot more... watching the way he interacted when Yogi was around, and Gareki and Nai were still nearby. I've mentioned before that he was jealous of the attention that Gareki was receiving from Yogi, but... I think it runs deeper than just mere jealousy. And combined with Jiki's personality and harsher-than-what-is-normal way of expressing himself, it makes him seem like a total ass. But... it makes sense now. And even though he's STILL an ass... I can't really hate him. Because Yogi is an amazing guy, and anyone would be upset if their friend was suddenly taken with new people over them. So... v-v I guess you could say I've come to terms with him. Just a bit.
10. Ikami is awesome. ;W; <3
11. *Sobs more over Yogi; because something he said towards the end was especially heart-breaking*
And that's all for now, darlings~! Join me in the next manga! 8D This is the last volume that was brought over into the anime! So I'm looking forward to all the brand new things that we're going to see in the next one! *Squeals!* So excited! I'm looking forward to seeing where everything goes now that the storyline I'm aware of is ending! YAY!
Nai and Yogi are seriously the most precious characters *ever* omg. *coughs* Right, with that out of the way.. I love this series and all its characters to bits. The plot continues to move forward at a good pace, but there's still always time for character moments. I really like the balance of it all. It's cute, and there's fanservice, but it's more like the cherry on top of the icing rather than just the... icing, I guess.
Wow! The battle of circus vs the guards from misty mansion that full of varuga. Their real goal is rescue karoku n captured uro.That spoiled girl think karuko love tsukumo - lol. Plot twist : There's two karoku - 1. Is evil n one - I don't know passed out or about to die. Now it made me curious - karoku have evil twin or clone or maybe someone make experiment of him. Now the real karoku in the hospital n Gareki was going to school to learn something useful.

Encore un très bon tome pour Karneval et je suis très contente d'avoir pris le pli d'en lire à intervalles plus réguliers, surtout que j'ai tous les tomes à portée de main. Je ne me lasse absolument pas de l'histoire que Touya Mikanagi a créé d'autant plus qu'elle arrive à faire avancer les choses sans nous en dévoiler trop. Un très bon équilibre.
Nai ayant reçu un message de Karoku lui disant qu'il était en danger, c'est tout l'équipe du vaisseau deux qui se décide à porter secours au "grand frère" de notre héros. Une mission non approuvée par le gouvernement mais qui pourrait avoir des retombées positives vis-à-vis de la guerre menée contre Kafka et les Vargas. Un risque calculé donc, mais un risque tout de même. Et on l'espère, une certaine avancée sur l'intrigue principale.
Là-dessus, je n'ai pas été déçue. On avance vraiment beaucoup et j'en suis toujours autant surprise car nous n'en sommes qu'au tome six, et il y a encore une bonne vingtaine à suivre. On ne s'ennuie pas avec des passages bouche trou, bien au contraire. Certains mystères sont révélés, d'autres titillent encore notre curiosité (je pense notamment à Yogi) mais même cela se dévoilent un petit peu. Tout est dans le dosage, et Touya Mikanagi maîtrise vraiment cela. La mission aussi n'est pas uniquement basée sur l'action. On continue à voir la psychologie des personnages évoluer et à s'affirmer. Les différentes dynamiques entre les protagonistes s'affinent aussi, et on voit notamment bien plus de failles chez les membres de Circus, ce qui les rend plus accessibles et aussi plus attachants. Même s'il n'y a pas vraiment une grande avancée au final, aucune frustration car les pièces se mettent doucement en place.
L'arc de Karegi, si je puis dire, touche aussi à sa fin. le garçon ne trouvait pas sa place depuis un moment, et il hésitait à rester dans le vaisseau et à laisser Nai, ne prenant jamais de décisions. On voit combien cette situation lui pèse depuis un moment, et c'est compréhensible car il a l'impression d'être inutile, mais j'ai trouvé que cela s'éternisait un peu. Donc le voir prendre enfin une décision était un soulagement. Son éloignement demandera probablement un temps d'adaptation, car je l'apprécie beaucoup, mais je me dis qu'il y a aussi moyen de voir comment se passe sa formation en parallèle des autres missions de Circus. Cette décision pourrait, de plus, se révéler très prometteuse pour le futur, du moins je l'espère.
Si je pouvais trouver un défaut à ce tome, ce serait les moments où il y a des informations et des explications qui durent un peu trop. Je pense notamment au dévoilement de la trahison d'un des membres de l'équipe ou bien tout ce qui tourne autour de la mission du jour. Beaucoup de textes, trop de descriptions et d'analyses pour parfois pas grand-chose, ou bien des éléments que l'on avait déjà en main. Mais franchement, il n'y a que cela qui m'a ennuyée.
L'histoire de Karneval suit son petit bonhomme de chemin en continuant à développer et son univers, et ses personnages pour mon plus grand plaisir. On sent que les choses vont devenir de plus en plus complexes et j'ai vraiment hâte.
I am quite happy that the manga continues on farther than the anime did. I would be a little upset if I had to be cut off with Gareki leaving the ship again. He is getting qualifications to be able to work for Circus, so we know that he will make his way back eventually. Seeing him go through school is actually pretty cool. I am looking forward to how this story will continue.
Eleska thought the girl from Circus loved Karoku so much that she'd risk her life just to see her. Her jealousy is actually amusing. Such a self-absorbed child. I am also in love with that slightly evil Jiki. It seems that he doesn't really need glasses. :/
And, at the end of the volume, Gareki is doing something about his insecurity. He's going to school. *twirl like Tamaki*
Just a note: I love this series so much, and the reading date I put here is the 2021 reread date (not my actual first time reading which was years ago) ✨
