Oh how I always kick myself when I read a series without first make absolutely sure it has a resolution! In this volume Hisoka continues on his quest to confront the dragon king thinking that if he wins he will be Tsuzuki's equal. Things don't always work out the way you want them to. Tsuzuki for his part finds himself between the original Tengu rivals trying to find out why the Dragon King wants to destroy the Imaginary World. On the outside Tatsume and Watari delve the mysteries of Hisoka's odd family and some weird water ghost.

I kind of lost track of things near the end of the story which was kind of frustrating. Even more frustrating is that this appears to be the last volume and publication stopped back in 2006 with multiple cliffhangers all over the place. In checking Wikipedia it appears there is hope of a volume 12 to be released in 2010, but the details are rather vauge.

Despite the confusing multiple story lines I still really enjoyed the manga and hope that the manga-ka does, in fact, pick up her series or at least give us one last volume to conclude her story lines.

In the future I will certainly do more investigation before undertaking a series!… (more)
