An exciting climax to what always felt in my head like one of the first "real" arcs of the series, but reading it now it really only took up two volumes, and the only piece given multiple chapters is the final confrontation between Yusuke and Suzaku.

Don't get me wrong, that confrontation is SICK as HELL - Suzaku tells Yusuke "I'll grant you a release from this nightmare" and to be clear when he says that, the nightmare he's referring to is the despair filled life of a human being - the release is, of course, death. That is a COOL as SHIT thing to say.

Rereading this series REMAINS a DELIGHT.

I didn't like volumes 4 and 5 as much as the first three. I think I enjoy this series more when it focuses on emotional stories about ghosts rather than being a battle manga, but I've heard so many good things about the action in this series that I'm hoping it clicks for me later on.

This definitely made up for the first have of this arc. The fight between Suzaku and Yusuke was tense and exciting, Hiei stepping up and showing everyone how it's done with a two page spread, and Keiko and Botan fighting as best they could to survive, it was a fun time all around. Also, the Sailor Moon reference in the last chapter was wonderful, thank you Togashi for putting that in there!

That being said, unfortunately we are now entering what is possibly my least favorite arc in the series and we will be introduced with the worst character of the series...*sighs*...let's get this over with...
