This manga really knows how to do cliffhangers.
Fuegoloen. I really like Captain Fuegoleon’s character. Love how Captain Fuegoleon woke Noelle and reminded her what should be done. And little Leo being such a cute baby boy.
Enjoyed the fight scenes here. It’s just a shame we didn’t get to see more of the rest of the captains. But glad to see them.

Me learning more about Fuegoleon: OMG, I love this character! He's so awesome and strong and cool and fatherly and I LOVE HIM!!!
Me after a finishing the volume: FOR FUCK'S SAKE, TABATA, WHY AM I NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE NICE THINGS?! WHY?!?!?!?!
But in all seriousness, this was a great volume mostly because, once again, the characters and the fights were AMAZING. While I still don't like much of the higher-up magic knights, it was super cool seeing their magic in action. They may be one-dimensional assholes for now, but at least they can put their money where their mouth is for the most part.
I have to say, I hold a lot of respect for Yuno. It would have been so easy for Tabata to have him focus more on competing with the nobles rather than Asta, but seeing him still recognize Asta as his one true rival and put all of his effort into becoming stronger to surpass Asta is awesome. Also, him acknowledging that while he put in an intense amount of effort to get stronger, he still needs Asta's help shows what a mature, self-aware kid he is.
On a completely unrelated topic, Charmy is fucking amazing and speaks to me on a personal level. I honestly hope she gets more screen time because her magic is so fucking interesting and I want to see more of it and how she uses it. Oh, and Leopold is loud and hilarious and I fucking love him. Love my little lion cub.
However, if there's one complaint I have to lodge, it's that the villains are easily the most cliched and uninteresting bad guys I've seen in awhile. Look, I get that everyone and every thing in this series is cliched, but at least I can find some positives to negate that. Here, the only positive I can give is that their magic is really cool. That's it. While I want to feel sorry for Rades for what he went through, it's damn near impossible for me to do so when all he does is so over the top evil. Also Asta and Fuegoleon pretty much shut him down from the start, so yeah, a tragic backstory's not gonna make up for all the bullshit he's done.
Despite that, I'm more curious about the Eye of the Midnight Sun and their motivations as well as their reasons for wanting to destroy the clover kingdom. Hopefully they make up for the terrible villains introduced so far. Anyways, this was a great volume and I had a blast. Can't wait to see where that cliffhanger goes!

I find that the more I read this series, the more I love Asta's development. So much happened in this one that really intrigued me. I flew through it and then very quickly picked up the next volume so I could keep reading and enjoying the adventures of these wizards who wish to someday be chosen as the next Wizard King.

The big fight in the middle of town continues through this volume. Everyone is split up and fighting someone else somewhere else in town. At one point several of the good guys (supposedly) get transported outside of town. Asta is trying to protect a little girl, and continues to surprise people with his anti-magic power.
There's a nice point where we see development in Yuno's power. We're only getting real glimpses of him in comparison to Asta, but I like Yuno. Those two are similar in odd ways. There's also a scene between Yuno and Charmy, the “little” girl who is obsessed with food. It was a fantastic scene, too.
And then we end on a cliffhanger.
I am enjoying this series, oddly enough. It's pretty typical shonen, nothing new or surprising, and it could use some work at times. But the pace and the characters are getting better as the series goes. It's fun to read.
