A review by ripfunki
Battle Angel Alita, Volume 3 by Yukito Kishiro
2.0
Lost potential
I’m very confused at the second part of this volume.. it begins great with a very emotional story, and then the second subplot just lost me. It feels like all the characters changed in an odd manner. I think maybe it’s supposed to reflect the trauma from the beginning of the manga, but it doesn’t deliver.
From the second volume Ido was the one who supported Alita in expressing her love to Yugo and guided her as a father. But in this volume he acted like someone who owned her like a slave and a love interest?! Why would Alita be jealous when Ido is a father figure to her? It doesn’t make sense how any of them are acting and it seems very out of character for both of them.
Also, the fact that Alita ran away to start a new life instead of seeking Ido for support as always was completely unnecessary.
Ido turned into a creep and Alita lost all her charm and is just an angry cyborg who challenges everyone she meets without thinking.
It’s such a disappointment and In don’t think I will get the next volumes.
Such a wasted potential.
