Shugo Chara!, Vol. 3: Can a Bad Guy Turn Good? by PEACH-PIT

4.0

Re-read 2022: OHHHHHH! This one was GOOD! We continue where we left off, with that phoney teacher taking Amu's eggs and leaving her vulnerable and sad. I am glad that she had the guardians, Ikuto, and even Utau for a bit to help her out! And that fortune teller was wonderful and made me laugh because she had some brilliant expressions on her face.
Loved that Utau is also able to change with her egg, just like Amu. Not a half-way thing just a bit of personality change, no the whole deal.
The last part, with the phoney teacher and his story, well, I am still a bit on the fence about him, but I do like him a bit more. He really has another side to himself.
I flew through this one! So happy I am re-reading this series.

Re-read 2017: Ohhh, exciting stuff is happening in this one. Though I definitely, at least at first, disliked that teacher oh so much, but we saw another side to him, and I slowly start to like him. He deserves some happiness. While of course I think it is a bit extreme to go this way, I can see why he changed so much.

We also see more of Utau, and I was so happy to see her. She is one of my favourite characters and I want to see her more. Like Amu she can transform fully, and like Amu she has more than one egg. Plus she seems to have a bit more of a conscious than her fellow Easter peeps. She does want the embryo, but she doesn’t want to do cheap shots to get it.

I feel sorry for those that lost their eggs, it must be terrible to either lose it or break it.  So I am happy that Amu may just help out with this, she can change them back/fix them. Lots of dreams will be returned to their owners.

Of course there is more Ikuto x Amu, and I was just squeeing in delight, especially during that romantic scene at the park. It seems they are destined to get together. Amu the one who holds the lock, Ikuto the one who holds the key.

I loved that Amu found her resolve. She really gains a lot of strength and bravery in this one. She is going to go against Easter, she is going to save those X eggs. Go Amu!
