Peach-Pit

Prelim Review: This volume rocks because SHIBA is introduced. SHIBA who is all 'Eh life' and 'WHY ARE YOU NOT MAKING THIS FIGHT TO THE DEATH MORE INTERESTING FOR ME??' he's just as much fun as he was when I first read this. Shito's jealousy is way downplayed here though (its up-played in the anime) so that was interesting and Chika is just so adorable.

This does not make Shito, Chika or Michiru any more likeable (though Chika comes close)--but I enjoyed the mystery behind it. Even if I did know the end result (sadly).

Prelim Review: I read this a long time ago, but having only recently acquired the rest of the series, I decided to re-read it. I forgot how...annoying the entire cast is at first. Perhaps because the anime gets this all out of the way quicker I forgot, but Shito is a bipolar jerk, Chika is a loudmouth jerk and Michiru is so...milquetoast I just wanted her to die. And then she did and then she came back and the story became slightly more interesting.

Seriously though I spent most of this book anticipating the next book (that bring ins Shiba! Oh Shiba!) and this time around I liked Yomi so much more than I did years ago.

I read this back when I was somewhere between the ages of 12 and 14 because I had a friend who introduced me to the anime. We sat and watched the entire anime over the course of one very long night. Let's just say that the anime... awakened something within me, and then I bought the first volume of the manga and read it in one sitting. It was then confiscated from me by my mother and I decided not to buy the rest because they were too expensive (at the time) to risk spending money on if they were just going to be re-confiscated. Rated 5/5 for nostalgia.… (more)
