I think it is hardly a coincidence that the eleventh volume in Yoshikazu Yasuhiko's series, and the 11 O'clock number in theatrical musicals, both leave the reader and viewer going: "Oh....WOW!" after their conclusion.

A lot happens in this volume that turns the tables more than can be described. I could and would happily elaborate, but spoiler alerts are a cardinal sin when it comes to the literary and visual arts. That being said, be prepared for a 'jaw-dropper' of a book.

This will be a short review, for the time being, simply because I have to see what happens in the twelfth, and final, volume of The ORIGIN series. Whatever the resolution of the numerous disruptions to the characters and their individual and collective plots, it could possibly be a show stopper.

Wow. This volume packs quite a punch. During the various battles at A Baoa Qu, power shifts several times as certain characters make connections and turn the tides.

This is the volume where the series hits the home stretch, everyone slams into high gear, hits the nitrous and goes barreling towards the finish line. Chickens come home to roost, character arcs approach their climax, and everything approaches their dramatic conclusion. I cannot wait until volume 12.

Lots of story make up this latest volume, but I still remain skeptical of the entire Newtype thing. Either way, the art remains freaking spectacular, like, holy shit.

Lalah has reached out to Amuro with her powers. There are several lovely surreal landscapes, in color, when this happens. Gorgeous! There is more political intrigue and people getting killed. Artesia finds herself in a perilous situation and takes control. Such coolness. The story is starting heading towards it's climax and it's an excellent ride!
