Revelations kept pouring in
This is actually the most important volume for Rei's character arc, I think considering this contains the roots of his childhood trauma. I'm kind of nervous for the penultimate volume though, seeing Rei smiling down on the couple of dudes barking while practicing on riding motorcycles... There's going to be a final slap, right?

Rei is the type of guy that Kira couldn't stand; flirty, reckless, and a biker. When a chance encounter leads to Rei saving Kira from a teacher with bad intentions, neither of them know the extent to which the other will impact them.
On the outside, MARS is a typical coming-of-age story centered on the relationship between good girl and a bad boy. But underneath the romance lie stories of suicide, rape and murder; the idea that everyone has a secret to hide, even those who seem most innocent. When the dark pasts of Rei and Kira come to light, they struggle to keep their relationship together.
This is definitely one of my favorite manga series out there, I highly recommend it for the shoujo fan! :)
