A review by juicelina
Lullaby of the Dawn: Volume 4 by Ichika Yuno
4.0
where to read: inkr
This volume has an overwhelming amount of information. It hasn't been that long since I read the last volume, but I spent the beginning of this a little confused since it just immediately goes into all this info. So it's definitely better read immediately after volume 3.
The messaging in this can be a little heavy handed, but the connection of the real world and how it affects this fantasy world is interesting. They talk about war, the fight for gay marriage, and the control of powerful people. Also it's went into the topic of childhood sexual abuse. I actually really liked how that was done. Elva is learning about things that he was sheltered from and there's a moment where he's like oh that's what was done to me? All he knew was how it had made him feel, but didn't understand the act. It's such a realistic depiction. I also love that it's not shown at all. Just alluded to. There's so many things I've read that graphically depict abuse when it's so unnecessary. Like you can easily show it without actually showing it. Anyway, Elva and Alto are my precious babies and I'll probably be waiting a while for volume 5, but I can't wait to learn more about their world and I really want to see them get further in their relationship.
