Tegami Bachi is pulling a Bleach and doing a far better job than Kubo could hope to do: it's sidelining their main protagonist and hero, Lag Seeing, and putting the focus on other key players in the current battle against Cabernet. By shifting away from Lag's narrative, Tegami Bachi frees itself to expand on the stories of characters like Largo and Garrard and Connor. What comes of this shift of focus is a series of monumental revelations that add to the world of Tegami Bachi as well as set the stage for an inevitable all-out conflict between Amberground and its detractors.

** Leido de su Version Español en Manga Plus** el 13 tomo sigue siendo una historia interesante, este numero siguió siendo muy movido, hubo 2 enfrentamientos muy entretenidos y la llegada y perdida de un nuevo personaje que se gano rápido el cariño... dejando un gran dolor al protagonista , quedo muy interesante para siguiente tomo

In which the battle against Gaichuu Cabernet continues, we learn some information about the Capitol, and a character's past of broken dreams is revealed. I'm reading a few manga series right now, and this one has the most heart.

8/10.
Este tomo ha estado bastante bien, sobre todo por descubrir un poco más sobre Akatsuki y sus alrededores.

Este Gainchû tiene más vida que los gatos… Ya pensaba que lo había matado Connor… Espero que no robe más corazones, ya que personaje que me está empezando a gustar desaparece….

Sono felice che finalmente si veda qualcosa della capitale, però...
...una volta questo fumetto sembrava carino e normale.

I'm predicting that either A everyone will join the bad guys when they learn the truth and will work together to take down the government, or B everyone will be fed to the sun. Based on what I heard were people's opinions about the manga ending vs the anime ending, I get the feeling I know which is going to happen and I'm going to be devastated. But idk maybe there's a secret third option I'm not thinking of.
Tegami Bachi Review
4/5 stars
This will be a spoiler free review. Onto the review!
I picked up this manga on the recommendation of a friend. Well actually, she recommended the anime, but I wanted to read the manga since the anime never got finished. I have mixed feelings about this one. Maybe the anime would help. I don’t know.
The story follows this kid who decides to become a mail courier because he was once mailed somewhere, and it left an impression on him. Being a mail courier is a super dangerous job, because there are giant bugs that live in between the cities and try to eat people. People generally don’t travel a lot due to this issue. I loved the story and the characters. It was really fun to get to meet all the other mail couriers. They all have animal companions of some kind, which help them to fend off the bugs until they can take them down with special magical guns.
The main character’s goal is to eventually find his mother, who originally mailed him to his aunt at the start of the first volume. He remembers her from when he was little, and wants to know why she sent him away. Learning more about his mother is the main mystery of the series, which leads him to many new places where he meets lots of new, interesting people. And along the way, there are these giant bug fights that are really fun.
Now here’s where I feel conflicted. The main character’s animal companion is this random girl who decides to follow him around. She’s not technically human, so that’s how she’s able to count as an animal companion despite looking like a kid. Because she’s not human, she does not understand the need for acting like the humans do. What this generally means is a big chunk of the early volumes, she finds a dumb excuse to not wear pants for a panel or two. It’s always censored with big block text that literally says “censored,” but it was still kind of uncomfortable to read about.
Also, near the middle of the series we meet her older sister, who literally walks around naked because she also has no understanding of human behavior. She thinks of herself as more of an animal than her little sister does, because she lives out in the wild and doesn’t interact with people. When she has to be around people, she puts on a ribbon that she ties very carefully in a specific way, if you get my meaning.
Listen, I’ve seen worse fan service (see: Ghost in the Shell). I don’t mind the older sister doing what she does, because she’s an adult and can do whatever she wants. But the little sister is a kid. She looks to be maybe 10ish. As I said before, it’s always censored, so we’re never seeing anything. But for me personally, it’s the principle that matters. I read the entirety of this manga, because I felt it would be important to judge it after seeing where the manga went and if it continued to be an issue. It does go away for a while, but then near the end of the series, she loses her pants again briefly and I just ugggghhhhhhhhhhh whyyyyyyyyyyy…we were over this…
I did like the series as a whole. It has a great story with a lot of heart. For that alone, I think this is a great series and would recommend it. But you’ll have to consider for yourself if you want to read a series with so little pants. Wow, that’s a brand new sentence no one has ever said before. Consider your comfort level and read this at your own risk.
Have a nice day/night everyone!

OMG! Wow, oh wow, wow! Stunning volume full of secrets revealed as the battle with Gaichuu Cabernet continues. What is so great is that this volume is so action packed with epic moments that it doesn't spend much time mulling over what is being revealed. It just hits you in the face for you to think about and I can't wait for the next volume. Not giving anything plot points away but you'll hardly believe it can be so exciting when the main characters for this volume are "old guys" Largo Lloyd, Garrard and Hazel. No Gauche and Lag is barely seen! Out of all the volumes so far this one gets 6 stars.

Fantastic volume! The fight with Cabernet continues, but instead of just being a long dragged out battle, secrets are being discovered and exposed left and right! The story has really picked up and I can't wait to read vol 14.
September 8, 2024
Continuation of the action and further development of the main storyline. We get more insight into characters like Lloyd, Gerrard, and the secrets of the capital. I am becoming more and more curious on where the story is heading and what the truth really is.
