Half a star taken off because the narrative didn't adequately explain why Nurugai couldn't just murder Zhu Jin.

The technical skills and banter in the fight against the twins was pretty fun and cool. I’m finding that the characters relationships are rather fun in this volume. After their win the book discusses the grand plan that Jofuku and Rian have in store, setting up for the endgame. I thought that the battle of Nurugai and Shion again Zhu Jin was a bit contrite for the most part, but the final move and the part about them coming to terms with their grief and deciding to talk about what they loved about Tenza was really heartwarming. Probably the most emotional part of the story yet.

Gooosh...I didn't think this series would hit me so hard. But Nurugai and Shion's shared grief, and the memories of Tenza and how good he was, how he saved them both and smiled while facing down his death because he knew that his sacrifice would let them escape...man. Even better, rather than revenge, now they both want to keep living so they can share memories of Tenza, and honor his life and sacrifice that way.

Gotta admit I cried a little: thus, five stars!

Otro tomo que se come Chobe... y Shion. Tremendo personajazo es y qué poco he hablado de él. Porque, como bien dicen en uno de los capítulos (Toma, de hecho xD), Chobe no es malicioso ni retorcido: es MALVADO. Pero Shion es todo lo contrario: leal hasta el extremo, hábil, humilde y su sentido del humor salta a la vista. A LA VISTA! jajaja. Ay, la relación de Shion y Nurugai con Tensa me parece dolorosamente preciosa.

Read a lot of these today, was gonna stop for day after this one but that ending. Have to continue..
