Cheeky Angel 15
December 10, 2006
And with this volume, I’m once again caught up with Cheeky Angel. Five more volumes to go until the end of the series! I’m looking forward to Meg turning into a boy before the end! Maybe! Possibly! Hopefully, if I’ve been following this series all this time, I’ll get some payoff.
Speaking of, there’s a really weird scene with Miki right at the beginning of this volume where she seems pissed that Meg is doing all this because she’s a girl. This is annoying because Meg has been fighting her own fights for fifteen goddamn volumes, but this particular one seems to set Miki off because she says Meg is a girl. What the hell? Since this was the only serious gender musing for the entirety of this extremely long arc, I forgave it, though. Hitomonji seemed to muse over it, though, and they DID get the evil clown in on that scene.
Speaking of, what the hell? Why did he keep appearing sporadically? Why suddenly randomly introduce the fact that he may have a roll for no particular reason? It’s not necessary!
Anyway, the end of this story arc is very good. I was quite satisfied with the toughness of the entire gang. Including Yasuda. What wasn’t so good was the Rival’s forefit, as she just seems to be a pure, undiluted bitch, but whatever, we already knew that.
The prince crap at the end of the volume was kind of a one-off story and not so good. Two bonuses were that we got to see Yoriko and Miki girl out together and Genzo took off his shirt. That’s about it.
Ooh, now I have to wait for the next volume. Since this good arc has finished and there’s no cliffhanger, it’s not a particularly long wait, so I’ll probably just save up the volumes again until I have a big chunk to read *coughfivecough*
