The only ongoing female character is so pure and sweet that she can hear the cries of the lonely, even if the one who is lonely is the wind and wouldn't typically have feelings. 😒😒😒

This is probably my least favorite installment, and probably because to me, there was a shit ton of information going on, but not a lot of action actually happening. I'm also just not a huge fan of the world(s) they visit. They're just kind of blegh to me.

I don't usually post more than once when I'm reading a series, especially manga, because it all goes so fast and is usually pretty consistent.

But with this story, as with the parallel-universe story of Xxxholic, I find it gets better as it goes along. Volumes 6, 7 and this one have showed increasing originality and interest in the plots, as well as new insights into the characters--particularly our hero, young Syoran.

We learn a bit more about Syoran's history and his feelings about having no memories of his life before his mentor/adoptive father found him. Also, Sakura has evolved from a helpless female (admittedly, most of her memory was stolen and that's what they've been recovering) to helping out wherever she can (though not in war) and having insights and gifts no one else in the group has. Even Mokona's personality has developed (pretty impressive for a creature who's basically a sentient magical plushie)

Thus, I've bumped up my review from 3 stars to 4.

I'm tired of writing these reviews, but I really am not loving the concept of this world so much. However, the art and the characters are great.

I didn't enjoy this one quite as much as previous volumes, but it was still an interesting continuation of the story.

Very good book, I like the new universe from this volume, and I'll have a review up on Bureau42 on the 25th.
