heyjudy's review against another edition

~3.5 Stars
Back into this series, they have reached Rochalizo's home, Amonlogia. They're immediately confronted with violence, and then with strict negotiations that turn out to be not much of a negotiation, really.
It wasn't terribly surprising what Rochalizo did to them, despite thinking they'd been getting along so well. I can see what a bad position Rochalizo was in, but he still wasn't very smart about his choices here. I was really surprised to see what a standing Suou ended up taking, and was honestly impressed by how strong of a stance he took. He was put in a bad spot, and he did what he thought was right, and it makes me a really big fan of his character, honestly.
I'm intrigued and worried by where the plot was going at the end of the volume. It could go really bad before they get out of this.
A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!

Much better than the previous volume. I was and was not expecting what happened when they reached amongolia. Ouni although was a surprise. At this point in the series I don't know how these kids can live peaceful lives off the mud whale. Anyway, this is a volume that keeps me interested in continuing the series unlike the last one.

Warnings: gun violence
Well the other shoe just dropped! Having reached Amonlogia, the people of the Mud Whale are eager to settle down on proper land, even if they are surprised by how the port looks. However, only the Unmarked are allowed to disembark at first, to go discuss with the Duke (Rochalizo's father) regarding their stay. The terms are harsher than they expected, though, and is against everything they sailed forth for. Rochalizo's shadiness comes out as they try to force their hand, but Shuan had foreseen something like this and came along. Still, they are in a difficult place, with the two Mole twins trying to stir the Marked to abandon the Unmarked and just sail away from the conditions imposed on them. Chakuro, Ouni and Lykos each try to mitigate the situation by acting alone.
This volume brings in a host of new characters, like Rochalizo's older brothers, one of whom takes a fancy to Suou thinking he is a girl. It was humorous for a bit, but all three of them basically pouncing on him - eh.... Anyway, the humor is hardly enough to balance out the shock, and violence in this arc. Once again, they are being persecuted just for being what they are, and being their ancestors' descendants. Amidst this tension, we already know Orca is on the way, so I am a little nervous about how it is going to all play out.
