Okay, and I liked this volume better. I think maybe it was the last storyline. The end of it was really really good, if a bit out of nowhere. So far out there, in fact, that I thought it was a dream one of the characters was having for quite awhile. But I like this new Dark ability. The very end of the story didn’t fail to live up to the shittiness of the rest of it though, because both Dark and Daisuke said a slew of cryptic remarks that I don’t really understand other than to say the story is veering off in directions that I don’t want it to.
The short story on Risa and Riku, well… Riku and Daisuke, was really cute. This is coming from someone who says the characters are stereotypes. It was just a really adorable story, and I thought it was touching. Shut up.
The new storyline, “The Second Hand of Time,” is gearing up to be awesome so far though. The fact that Dark is stealing from a museum that is empty is intriguing, the genderbending school play was awesome while it lasted, and the note the volume ended on was also good.
Are the characters getting better? More complex? They are certainly getting more and more cryptic. But the side story did make me like Riku a little bit more… but I still think she’s not much different personality-wise from Risa, which is sad. Also sad is that no other characters outside Riku/Risa/Daisuke/Dark/Satoshi have any sort of personality or presence whatsoever.
