It's been 5 months since I last delved into the series.

I must admit, returning to it has been quite challenging, despite having only 2 volumes left to complete.

Regrettably, this volume continues the trend of the previous ones, with a poorly structured narrative that leaves me struggling to grasp the storyline.

Sadly, the series has lost its depth, focusing solely on battles and clichéd war cries that have become its trademark. There's little substance to be found.

Nevertheless, I've come this far, so I'll push through to the end. Just one more volume to go.

I finally got back into reading this series - I was caught up for a bit on English releases, and wanted to wait until there was a bit more out so I can dive in again. That being said, getting back into this was like revisiting an old friend. I really like this Saint Seiya spinoff because, not only does it have that same nostalgic pull as the original series, it has that shoujo touch to it that reminds me of my childhood as well. I'm really looking forward to seeing this conclude - I just wish the anime would have been finished, too!

Penúltimo tomo argentino.

Anyone who read the serialized version of the ending would say it felt rushed and lacking. This reprint fills in many gaps to feel like a proper series's ending. What a series! I'm sad that it's over, especially since Kuori's art is so delightful!
