STORY
I was right. I wasn't prepared for the heartbreak in this volume.
The volume started out with the conclusion of Raikou and Yukimi's conflict, then moved on to Miharu and Yoite's journey, where everything came together in dramatic fashion. And oh, how dramatic it was. The conflict between the main cast and the Kasa was exciting, and the final story of Yoite's past interwoven between the fighting made for a gripping read. And then the finale happened. That single moment was so powerful and so masterfully done. Applause all around for Yuhki Kamatani.
The wrap-up chapter was just as heartbeaking, as the cast all desperately tried to recall everything that had happened.
All in all, this volume was on point for the story. I look forward to see how it progresses from here.
ART & PRESENTATION
There was so much beauty in this volume. I'll do my best to include as much as I can without putting in spoilery pictures. Favorites below!
Yen Press outdid themselves this time around. As well as a solid presentation, they provided a heartbreaking foldout poster at the end. *sniff*
CHARACTERS
The character development in this volume was superb. Everyone gained tons of characterization as everyone lost something dear to them (especially Yukimi. Like, Jesus)
Also, Fuuma was back for a brief moment in this volume. And while he was still being cryptic, he actually wasn't annoying. Amazing! I didn't think it was possible!
FINAL VERDICT
A heartbreaking volume in all the best ways, Nabari no Ou volume 10 brought out the best in Yuhki Kamatani, and I thank her for that. Plus/minus below!
+ Beautiful story
+ Beautiful art
+ Beautiful characters
+ Everything
A+ - BUY IT
Buy it and read it over and over. A story this beautiful simply can't be ignored.
Oh, darn. Looks like it's 2015. Oh well!
