A review by ceridwenanne
No. 6, Volume 3 by Atsuko Asano, Hinoki Kino

adventurous mysterious fast-paced

3.5

With the establishing stuff out of the way, No 6 has some room to get more interesting. The theme this time is the naif Shion interacting with jaded West Bank people. Some of these interactions are affecting, like an extended sequence with Dog Keeper, but some are stupid and juvenile, like his run in with an aggressive sex worker. I still think a parasitic bee is a sometimes silly antagonist, but the aging disease it's a vector for is genuinely creepy. So. Things are coming together.
