Noelle! Noelle! Noelle character development!!!

Omg, I'm so happy about her development! And I'm so damn fucking excited to see her play a serious role in this arc! When I saw that they were going to an underwater temple, I was thinking, "please make this about Noelle, please make this about Noelle, please let this be where she really shines," and I was not disappointed. I absolutely fucking LOVED seeing the Black Bulls get together to cheer her on. She's had such a hard life (plus that backstory tidbit broke my heart) and I'm thrilled that she's getting a chance to make a better life for herself with the Black Bulls. But I also love that they aren't her only source of inspiration and support. Kahono's words hit hard, but they come from a place of care and support. She's wants to see Noelle succeed, but she also understands that Noelle's life depends on her learning to fight back. It was, as usual for Tabata, a small touch that makes a big difference. And Yami was awesome, pushing her forward but acknowledging her hard work. Seriously, this may be my fave group of people in manga, I just love them all so much!

The scenery for the underwater temple and the surrounding area was GORGEOUS. Tabata really does have a knack for making a setting come to life. Also, I love me a battle royale, so anytime I can get one of those I'm happy. Plus, that beach chapter was a nice break from the serious stuff, so this volume really hit every mark possible.

This was a stellar volume that I had a blast reading. I'm curious to see where the rest of the arc goes thanks to that cliffhanger, but I'm eager to find out!

Okay, fine, so I started my 2019 off by reading a few manga volumes so my reading challenge would be off to a nice start. But I also can't help that I'm hooked on this series, and want to catch up really quickly. Thankfully with the manga sale going on through Barnes & Noble, I was able to buy the rest of what has been released so far. So we can expect a lot more of my gushing about how much I enjoy this series and Asta's determination to become the Wizard King despite possessing no magic himself.
