Man, each volume just keeps getting better and better. Thus, this volume is the latest one I've read so it is by far my favorite volume so far. I will read the next volume (volume 8) very soon...although I may procrastinate since I don't own the ninth or tenth volumes sadly...
Anyway, I really loved a lot of moments in this volume...
Chloe and Jeanne-
I really liked Chloe and Jeanne's friendship in the beginning and how Jeanne couldn't bring herself to kill Chloe, and Chloe tried to sacrifice herself but ultimately decided to seek out revenge thanks to Naenia.
Chloe and Jean-Jacques-
I'm still a little hesitant to "ship" these two romantically since Chloe's age is unclear, but she was referred to as a grandmother before and she's stuck in an eleven-year old's body...so I'm not sure what the age difference between her and Jean-Jacques is...but despite the mysterious age gap between them, I at least can say that I adore their relationship dynamic. I especially loved when Jean-Jacques hugged her and basically told her that he couldn't live without her...
Vanitas and Jeanne-
I'm loving the romantic development between these two...especially when Vanitas brought Jeanne back to her senses and reminded her that he promised he'd kill her if it ever came to that. He brought her back to reality when she was stuck thinking about her past and what happened to her parents...side note here: I know she said she had a mother and father, but is it just me or was the "father" figure actually a woman? I don't know, I just kept wondering because one of them has long hair but the other has shorter hair that looks a bit feminine...but I could be totally wrong and it's just the way the man decided to cut his hair. I don't mean to jump to any conclusions...
Vanitas and Noe-
These two never fail to make me laugh. Almost every scene they're together, Noe does or says something to annoy Vanitas. But my favorite moment in this volume was when Vanitas admitted that he's been nearly killed by vampires before so that's why he was hesitant to tell Vanitas his suspicions about Chloe, and then Noe knocked some sense into Vanitas by literally head-butting him and then telling him, "I believe you".
Vanitas and Dante-
Loved the small explanation on what a "Dham," but I'm curious to learn more about their kind. I know Dante and Johann are dhams, but what exactly is a "dham"? I know Dante referred to himself as a "half-breed," or "half-blood," but what does that mean? Does he mean he's half vampire, half-human? I'm curious to learn more about that, and sadly we got a short glimpse into Dante's past and how he was treated horribly for being a dham, which I'm assuming he was born that way with a vampire mother or father and a human mother or father, I'm assuming. But either way, I'm glad we got a short explanation of it, and how Vanitas said he didn't care what Dante was because he hates all vampires and humans equally.
Naenia and The Bear-
First off, who is this bear character??? I might've missed his name, but what is the point of his character? I guess this is why he wasn't present in the anime...anyway, as for Naenia, the reveal of her being the Queen was quite a shock. Not to me personally since I've watched the anime before this, but it was a good reveal. I'm just curious to know more about her...
