After four years of idyllic family life with Gugu and the others, Fushi is attacked by another, more dangerous Nokker. Right when Gugu and Rean confess their feelings for each other.
This one is a little slower to start than the previous volumes, but it pays off with big emotional moments following It is still fairly quick to read. A lot of the middle chapters are mostly fight scenes at Rean's birthday. Also, the old man and Pioran have redeemed themselves in my eyes after how selfish they were in the last volume.
There is one thing that is keeping me from giving this volume 5 stars. While the arc that takes up much of the volume is really good, some of the start for the arc this volume ends on is rough. The parts where Fushi comes to terms with are excellent, but this new character, the girl with the owl, has really inscrutable motives, and I'm very wary of her.

Un tome super émouvant. Et Imm n'est pas au bout de ses peines, le pauvre. J'ai vraiment aimé cette partie avec Googoo et Lihn, c'était drôle, touchant et très chouette.

So far the best volume in my opinion. I love how the story moves forward, not too fast and it lets you get attached to the characters.
