This volume focuses on Fushi's continued adventures with Kohaku, Prince Bon, and company, but tragedy struck.

Kohaku shows that, yes, he is definitely related to Hayase and Hisame--obsessive and capable of making some really creepy faces. He decides to act on the feelings he's developed for Fushi (which was initially only when he was in Parona's form), which causes whatever remnants of Parona are still alive in Fushi to get violently ill. Fushi bolts but is restrained by Kohaku, so Fushi tries switching between forms to get Kohaku to stop, so there's a panel of Kohaku grabbing Fushi in March's form while Fushi/March is telling him to stop that is really uncomfortable. I'm enjoying the Church of Bennett story line more than the Fushi discovers romance story line.

Bon is interesting. On the one hand he has a really caring side towards those who work for him, on the other hand he can be a foppish brat and has a very manipulative side. Although, he and his parents look like they came from a goofier manga than To Your Eternity with their over the top hair styles. I'm predicting next volume will have some big character growth

Spoiler

and probably death like a redeeming sacrifice for turning Fushi in to try and protect himself/his kingdom and hiding the fact that Fushi can kind of raise the dead that will grant Fushi his form and ghost seeing abilities

for him next volume.

Fushi is pushed to his limits emotionally and physically and gets more powerful as a result which is good. I'm also starting to suspect that the Beholder is less some sort of being that can't comprehend human/Fushi's emotions and more sinister after one of the later chapters.

This manga started out so good, but I'm disappointed by the direction it's heading. I really disliked Prince Bon so that made this volume difficult to read. The characters we've met so far have been really well written, but those introduced in this arc are not as good.

I plan to continue for now and hope it improves again soon.

Encore un super tome. Bonshen est un personnage plus profond que ce qu'on peut voir au 1er abord. On découvre un aspect des pouvoirs d'Imm qui peut avoir pas mal de répercussions sur le futur.
Je ne pensais pas qu'on aborderait une partie sur les sentiments amoureux mais j'ai trouvé ça plutôt bien abordé.
