Ever since he was a child, Kantarou has been able to see and talk to spirits, and now, all grown up, Kantarou moonlights as an exorcist solving the problems of ghosts and demons with the help of Haruka, the legendary demon-eating tengu.
The high points of tactics are its art, characters, and humor. It's a little sketchy on the plot. I'm not sure what in the world went on at the end of chapter nine. Now we've got mysterious bad guys and they're saying things that make no sense. Huh?
On the other hand, it's been a while since I've read volume three. Maybe the baddies' cryptic dialog will make more sense after rereading the third volume.
I enjoyed this volume. It was making me laugh. I always forget how much I like tactics. In this one they are doing a job for a powerful businesswomen by getting rid of a youkai. But everything is not how it seems to be. The story that made me laugh in this was amber chan the fairy in the mountain and she has fallen in love with Hasumi. Hasumi keeps thinking she is a butterfly. It is really cute and funny this chapter.
The two main stories were great, I would even say 5-star-great. The specials though, kinda... lame, I guess. Utter crack. I prefer fun with some substance. But the two main cases were rather intriguing, especially the one about the opium smuggling ring. I loved the little chat between Kantarou and Haruka, when Haruka realized that he and Kantarou really are getting closer, becoming friends and not just a master and a servant. That one was cool!
