Two African princes arrive in Japan, and Collector Kyouma Mabuchi is caught in the middle! The handsome and charismatic Prince Salva is after the late Dr. Yurizaki's "final legacy," but what exactly does that mean? Meanwhile, Kyouma encounters the effeminate and demure Prince Lwai, who's actually more than what he seems. And amid all this excitement, a new secret emerges about Mira herself. What is the fate of the Kyouma, Mira, and the coils in this international incident? The progressive sci-fi tale about humanity and energy reaches new heights!
Mit den afrikanischen Prinzen Salva und Luwai startet jetzt eine neue Handlung, die sich anscheinend über mehrere Bände ziehen wird. Auf das ganze Wettbewerbsgedöns freue ich mich gerade nicht wirklich, aber vermutlich wird endlich irgendwann geklärt, was genau damals bei dem großen Unfall geschehen ist, den nur Albert und Kyoma überleben. Und hoffentlich auch, was es genau mit Lu auf sich hat! Einen überraschend großen Teil von Kyomas Vergangenheit (plus traurige Hintergrundgeschichte, wie er zu den Grendel kam und warum er keine Coils mag) gibt's in diesem Band schon zu lesen, was mir sehr gefallen hat. Und auch Mira wächst immer noch als Persönlichkeit. Also ja, hat mir sehr gefallen <3
This volume takes a deeper look at Kyouma. Mira writes an observation diary on him (the lighthearted beginning), and we get a deeper look at his history.
This is a really interesting entry into the series.
My review covers the arc that begins in volume 5 and concludes midway through volume 10. A new arc begins midway through volume 10. Where the story touches on people and their relationships, it is great. The science is fiction and often hard to follow. Kyouma and Mira (and Miyabi) make this story fun. The relationship between Kyouma and Mira reminds me a little of Henry Higgins and Liza Doolittle.
A new arc is beginning and that means new characters! In this case, two African princes and their entourage.
But better than new characters is a couple new mysteries and some very important answers that we’ve been asking for since volume one. Kyouma Mabuchi’s past! Or part of it anyway.
He was cute when he was young~ Reminds me of Kagami Taiga from Kuroko no Basuke.
