Black Bird, Volume 10 by Kanoko Sakurakouji
3.0
I liked this one better than the last one. Although I'm kind of sick of the Sho plot line. And to be honest I don't get Misao's feelings towards him. She's scared of him and yet she is concerned for his welfare too.
He tried to rape her not once, but twice in this series. And sure he saved her life, but I don't think it makes up for the abductions and near rapes especially when he put her in the dangerous position to begin with.
It's hard for me to relate to Misao or even really like her. She has moments when I think she may not be so bad and then she starts crying again. (Seriously I think there might be more scenes where she has tears in her eyes than not.)
I can't say I like Kyo all that much either. He's borderline sadistic. Some of Kyo's dialogue is something you might expect from the dominant in BDSM erotica. Their relationship is not of equals. Maybe this will change as the story progresses, but I doubt it. I mean he is a demon.
I like the 8 Daitengu best. I find myself interested more in these supporting characters' stories than the main one. Some of their story is also being told in the extras which is probably why I like the bonus stories so much. The ones in Volume 9 and the first one in Volume 7 were especially good. The bonus story in this one was actually a Kyo/ Misao, but I really liked it.
