by Yuu Watase, 192 pages Hinohara has a showdown with another shinsho in order to get his submission and cooperation in the companions' efforts to save the princess. But Hinohara has little time to enjoy his success before receiving tragic news from home.
Sadly, I didn't much care for this shinsho-submission showdown. It was just a little too easy and quick and cheezy. And once again Arata gets short shrift (he doesn't even get a whole chapter to himself this time, and what he does have is mostly flashback) and poor disturbed Kadowaki also just gets a partial chapter at the end. The art's still polished and attractive, and I still like the overall story and characters, it's just grown a bit formulaic in the "fight" event sequences and rather unintentionally silly in its efforts to present new shinsho with weird, unique powers and undying devotion from their subordinates.
