Fly Me to the Moon's most recent volume (as of this writing) devotes itself to exploring the backstory of Tsukasa Yusaki, much hinted-at but never explained. We learn that Tsukasa was the daughter of a soldier in ancient Japan, whose father came into possession of a magic elixir conjured by a goddess, and disobeyed the Emperor's orders to destroy it when Tsukasa became deathly ill. Tsukasa finds that living forever is a living hell, going through the usual trials of self-harm and experimenting the limits with her power. After a harrowing fight with some peasants who try to cannibalize her to gain immortality (quite a turn from cutesy romantic shenanigans, this volume!) she wanders the countryside for centuries, nameless, friendless and hopeless, until she meets a mysterious nobleman who gives her a chance to make herself useful...and a hope that someday, she can overcome her condition and become human again. I'm a sucker for this kind of tragic backstory, and Tsukasa's sorry tale makes Homura Akemi's repeating time loops seem like child's play. The manga fortunately allows Nasa to reaffirm his love for Tsukasa, even knowing who and what she is, and the volume ends...with some more typical slice-of-life shenanigans, apparently written for a previous volume and recycled here, that have nothing to do with what we've just read. But you know what? I'm fine with that. After the intense march through trauma of the manga's first two-thirds, it's nice to see Tsukasa back in a modern setting where her biggest dilemma is deciding which anime OP to sing at karaoke. More volumes in the series are forthcoming, but I can't imagine how they'll top this one.

As much as I enjoyed this volume, the truth being revealed and such it felt, disjointed? Like one minute we have the past and then the present then not so far in the past ect... sometimes its a little much

But the actual content was pretty good!

Theres still a bunch of area to work with in regards to Tsukasa's past, seeing as how she's lived through tons of historic events in Japan, but it was cool seeing the beginning of her story and why her father gave her the Horai Elixir. What I loved most about this origin story was the events that happened after she was revived from being terminally ill. It was crazy seeing her come to realization that she was immortal and once the village discovered her, it was a very real moment when they turned on her and murdered her father. Its a message that goes beyond the pages and is a very real moment. People are greedy and therefore are evil in their intent, all these people she probably helped heal in her past have turned on her because of the immortal blood now running inside her.

The later half of this volume was more of the same from Fly Me To The Moon with Tsukasa and Nasa going on a date that involved karaoke. It was a nice change of pace from the more serious chapters that we just had. Volumes 15 and 16 have been the best of this series so far, and its nice having the truth out there for them to play off of now. I can't wait to see where we go from here!

A disjointed volume a bit.

The start we get some of Tsukasa backstory. It's a lot darker and scarier than expected. A person who becomes immortal isn't always a fun and enjoyable since others are jealous and want it too. Leaving to very disturbing results by people who once considered friends and turn on her so quick.

But around half way through we go back to the modern day and they're cute chapters, don't get me wrong, but they feel weirdly out of place. I believe it's because from here on out we'll be getting more of the past, and learning about Tsukasa, but they reverted back mid way just to keep fans enjoying this. A odd choice, but makes sense.

A 4 out of 5.

Whoa! No more hinting around, Tsukasa's origin finally fully revealed. Cool cover effect, with 1st page mirroring the sword pose, but happily, with hand stretched out to hold. Ties into the theme effectively.

Eindelijk toch een paar antwoorden.

Very good Plot Twist

[Gretchen · Rating 3 out of 5]

We finally learn Tsukasa's backstory. Nasa takes Tsukasa out for a nice dinner and karaoke.

[Oliver · Rating 3 out of 5]

looks like all the big mysteriories about Tsukasa are now all revealed.

[Krystal Caloia · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow, a LOT of background on Tsukasa! I can't imagine how lonely she must have felt before Nasa.
