So, things are getting confusing here. Last volume was just ok and this one just didn't make a lot of sense. It does end the 100 stories clan arc though. I really enjoyed that arc but it just petered out at the end. So as we gear up for the finale of this series this book ends with the beginning of a "new chapter". An old enemy returns and a new clan emerges. This has been a good series up to these last few books, I sure hope these concluding books are going to be worthy of it.

Apa yg ku embuh akhirnya muncul, kisah silam tentang ibu Rikuo dengan Rihan batang hidungnya kelihatan di volume ini. Biasanya kisah cinta Rihan selalu aja sama mantan istrinya, iya sih ceritanya tragis tapi kan pembaca pengen jg kisah ibunya Rikuo.

Yah walau sangat seuprit tapi bisalah menutupi sedikit rasa kepoku yg dah bahang. Apalagi di sini ibu Rikuo, Nona Wakana tampil keren. Gils sih gak nyangka dia bisa gitu dikit bukan cuma sebagai bebaners ternyata.

Oh iya ini kisahnya udah mau tamat, tapi sempat-sempatnya ada akan ada petualangan baru dan komunitas antagonis baru. Waduh semoga akhir kisah Nura ini gak ditutup dengan terburu-buru ya. Sayang aja soalnya pembangunan cerita maupun konflik serta artnya top ini.

The chapters in this volume definitely felt a lot more balanced to me. I didn’t feel like I was reading one long fight scene and there were actually interesting character moments within them.

このシリーズは好きにならないね。

ぬら君の妖怪姿はかっこいいが話が浅くてつまらない。早く終わりたいね。

Intense fight between the Nura clan and Hyaku monogatari clan. And there's also a glimpse on Rihan and Wakana when she was in her teens.

And since I'm a shipper of Yuki and Rikuo...
