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 followingGugu's death, and the realization that Fushi is losing his memoris of March because the Nokker took her form. 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 withGugu's death and his own role in the man in black/the narrator's battle with the Nokkers are excellent, but this new character, the girl with the owl, has really inscrutable motives, and I'm very wary of her.

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.

Four straight volumes of quality and character development so far. What a fantastic series.

I'm not quite sure what to do with this comic anymore.
Unlike book 3, this one was back to being good, but I'm seeing how long the series is, and I'm seeing how things just keep happening like in the end of this book here, and I'm not sure I'm interested enough to want to read on. It is interesting ish, but I don't think about it outside of reading it, so I don't think it's holding my interest anymore.
So yeah, guess only time will tell if I pick up the next book or not.
