This volume goes into detail about Niche's (and Steak's) origins. AWESOME backstory, absolutely gorgeous art. Definitely one of the best volumes in the series so far!
** Leido de su Version Español en Manga Plus** este Septimo tomo estuvo mejor que el anterior, se conoce el origen de Niche y dejando solo a Lag por el momento, el siguiente tomo esta interesante por la forma como concluyo el tomo.
Lag, sur la trace de Gauche découvre le repaire secret des Makas. Dans cette grotte, Niche rencontre sa sœur et Lag découvre que les insectes armures et l’ambre spirituelle sont liés.
This is a plot developing volume with major climaxes happening with two major story arcs. First the story of Gauche Suede. Lag already knows what he has become and what he is up to but as both he and Zazie are working in the same area, it is Zazie who has a major run in with Gauche and we finally see to what depths he has sunken. Meanwhile, Lag himself has found something else of interest in this neighbourhood and the mystery of Niche is finally unveiled and is a unique fantasy story, one which makes her an even more interesting character. A fast-paced read, this series is always very easy to jump into the next volume and get carried away with the story. Rated T for 13+ I've always found this series to be very mild compared to others with the same rating, however, this volume does have almost complete female front nudity. If you look at the girl on the cover, let's just say there is a whole lot more clothes on her there, than in the book! But as I said it is *almost* and her scenes are not s*xual in any manner. Just an FYI. I can't wait for the next volume. I wish they published this series more often!
While I love Tegami Bachi art this volume didn't have the best of frames. I'm not sure I really appreciated the way Niche's sister was drawn. Though the frames with their history were adorable!
That being said I totally loved learning about Niche's mysterious background and getting ideas of what we have to look forward to for her. This storyline is perhaps the only one I could appreciate while waiting to learn more about Noir and Gauche Suede!
I loved how rusty her sister was in speaking the human language. Also loved learning about the Garden of Spirits.
A very lore heavy volume that the series needed. Niche gets her backstory, which is was actually really cool. I loved this volume, it focused on character over letter delivery missiona, I dig it.
