rays_reads's review against another edition

Setsuna is slowly awakening to his powers so that's nice.
More incest... kinda expected that but I like how the author chose to focus more on the conflict of Setsuna's feelings related to his incestuous feelings. The author made sure to let the audience know that the incest in this story wasn't going to be all sunshine and rainbows.
One thing I didn't like is how one character who is Tom Boyish.... they explicitly acted like she was supposed to be feminine and dainty in order to be protected... like why? Can't she be a Boyish damsel in distress? Also why can't she be capable of protecting herself?
Rating: 3/5

In this volume we start to see a little of the wider world of Angel Sanctuary. New angels are introduced and we get hints of what is happening in Heaven while all the action remains on Earth. Keeping track of everyone can be tough, though!

I remember my main complaint of this series now. There are so many characters and opposing factions introduced in a short span of time I just struggle telling who is on whose side... Now I don't mind ensemble casts but introducing a lot of characters very quickly is always a risky thing - it was a complaint I had with Game of Thrones as well.
Plot in this volume. Sara plans to move abroad and makes up with her friend, Setsuna gets attacked a lot, has some revelations and then seems to act really, really out of character. Oh, and random angels of various ranks are now popping up.
I really cannot recall at this point just why I rated this series so highly at first... hopefully something will jog my memory in the next couple of volumes though!
