Review
Another volume where a few small things happen, but nothing extraordinary. Their main enemies are still looking for them, while Noriko and Izark are finding allies in unusual places. This ally believes in the idea that the prophecy has been misinterpreted, and that the sky demon can be used for good. This is what convinces them to rescue him from an imminent execution. Their plan works, but their current enemy won't give him up, and send some freakish inhuman brothers to stop them.
Izark and Noriko have really come to depend on each other, and they seem very close at this point. They are both terrified about losing the other, which is understandable. That's what happens when you're in love. Noriko really has changed Izark, though. In the beginning of the series, he had one expression: serious. But now, he's still serious, but he often smiles, looks worried or sad, and he jokes often with Noriko. It's great to see character development in him, too.
Final thought: I'm almost to the end!
