Although this volume didn't do much for the movement of the plot, this volume does a pretty good job at looking at the inner conflict that Rath and Cesia have. It's not the most interesting manga or the best written but I thought that there were quite a few things that were good about this volume that I wished were explored just a little more.

So in this little story arc, we follow Rath and Cesia as they come across this cursed mirror and as a result Cesia ends up getting amnesia. At a first glance, it may seem that this was just done for comic relief. And yeah . . . that sounds about right except for the fact that if we take a closer look we can see that there are more to these characters than meets the eye.

Of course, we already know that's the case with Rath and Cesia. Cesia is a demon that controls the wind and is incredibly powerful and there still lies several questions on where she came from or how she got to be so powerful aren't answered but we do get to see a side of Cesia that we've never seen before. And it is awesome. I love it. We go into her subconscious and we get to see what's inside Cesia.

Rath's turmoil is more of an emotional conflict. He sees Cesia happy without her memories and he wonders how she is able to be so happy and not know anything about her life. He even has a thought of how he would be if he lost his memories and if he would be as happy as Cesia is.

We also learn of his hatred towards the Dragon Clan, which isn't clearly explained in the series either. It's also really confusing because he claims that he will never be happy with his past and I have no idea which one he's referring to. (If you read the last volume then you'll know what I'm talking about.) It's also a shame to know that he hates the Dragon Clan even though they seem like the loving family anyone could ever want. Even Cesia pointed out that he could have been 'raised in Heaven' with everyone who loves him.

The series does sort of give an explanation but I'll tackle that when we get to later volumes.


The action in this series is pretty cool. The fight between dark Cesia and Rath started out awesome but then kind of ended on a cop out. (not to mention that we've seen one of the villains watching from a distance but the guy just sits there for one panel and doesn't say or do anything, hell, he doesn't even give a thought or any movement) And when the fight is over, it gets comical again. Which was funny when I first read it but now it gets old and it really looks out of place and doesn't fit the atmosphere it had earlier.

But, I still love this story and I'm always anxious to see what happens to our characters. So tune in next time for the next volume!

rath is shapping up to be a rather interesting character here. but he might seem more complex than what he really is due to the stylistic storytelling choices ohkami makes. i personally would think this story would have been best written out rather than a manga. i think the way the story is told is jarring, and well when skipping between characters and focuses it is best to have clear chapters (therefore written out in almost mini-chapters would be best). you don't notice this as much anymore due to the sheer fact that the chapters are longer, and therefore have a more complete thought before skipping to the next person
