A bit of a weaker volume in my opinion, but still enjoyable enough to recommend. Kurogane remains my favorite character, if only because he acts as the most angry and gruff audience surrogate I've ever seen. I keep wondering where Sakura's power will cap, but I don't think that will happen until she reaches God status.
One of my two main complaints with this book is towards the very end. Souseki goes into detail regarding the Yasha and Ashura statues, and we are told later by Kurogane that Fai reacted to the name. Considering CLAMP's track record of showing not telling, I'm a little surprised this slipped by them. Being told of a character's actions after the fact is a big no-no in visual storytelling, and it definitely hurt that scene not to include anything.
My second complaint is with the translation - and it's not really that big of a concern, since most of the issues can be chalked-up to a difference in cultures/languages. However, there quite a few stilted sentences and one speech bubble that was missing part of the phrase. I really like the team that translated Tsubasa, as it's obvious how much work and effort they put into every volume. I just think that they should have gone over the volume one more time to make sure it flowed properly.
Other than the issues I mentioned above, it was a pretty great volume! The art style is still gorgeous, and is only going to get better as we move towards the Yama arc. I especially liked the world near the beginning that was populated by non-humoid creatures. I was expecting CLAMP to stick to only human-like worlds and inhabitants, so this was a pleasant surprise. Fai's armor is slowly cracking, even if we didn't get to see all of his character development here. We're getting more clues that the group is being followed, but the thread's often dropped so the main plot can take over, so we may not learn more about that for some time.
See you after the next volume!
