Disappointing entry in this generally charming series about a strange little boy who's been sent down from Heaven to engineer regime change in Han China. He gains power by eating demons like bugs. This volume focuses on Shaga, the immortal prostitute who knows more about Qwan and the workings of Heaven than you'd expect; unfortunately, it concerns her hiding from reality, which is dull.

Worst of all, there's no Bug Princess Daki.

This volume ends on such a terrible cliffhanger! GAH! I feel for early fans who waited two years (!) to even see this come out, and then for it to stop all together where it does...very frustrating. XD It's still worth five stars, though, because the art remains stellar, the characters get even better, and the plot remains intriguing. That's why it's agonizing for it to cease where it does. There's two bonus manga chapters from other works of Shimizu's thrown in as consolation.

Some cool developements and the usual great art in this volume. Too bad Tokyopop has cancelled the release of this series, and there don't seem to be any scanlations online as far as I can tell.
