Arata: The Legend: Volume 5

by Yuu Watase, 191 pages

Hinohara finally acknowledges to his friend Kotoha that he's not the Arata she has known and served all her life. Luckily for him, she's got a forgiving nature, although now that they are no longer master and servant he'll get to see a whole new side of her surprisingly tough personality. On the flip side, Arata makes friends with a strange classmate of Hinohara's named Oribe, a girl who's always felt like someone else...and who's the first person to immediately see Arata as himself and not Hinohara. Damaged bully Kadowaki overhears the two talking and struggles with the confusing thought of Hinohara not being Hinohara. If the target of all his rage isn't who he thought he was, then where's the real Hinohara?

The heroes aren't the only ones who can play at switcheroo.... Yay, Arata and the mundane world get much more balanced coverage in this volume as the two worlds collide and crossover even more. I hope the trend continues!
