W Juliet 5
Posted: March 3, 2007 Filed under: W Juliet 1 Comment »Lots of Ito’s twin brothers in this one, as well as a look at Ito’s girly past. I liked the alternate look at her, and I liked hearing about her mother and how the death changed her. The three brothers work really well with her, and especially the two twins, who are just awesome characters. Mako’s sisters are equally cool, and we’ll get to see a whole bunch more of Tsubaki from here on out, I think.
The series has shifted away from “suitor seeking either Mako or Ito” and has shifted towards situations where Mako is going to be found out. I like these a lot better, and while I realize they’re just as formulaic as the suitor stories, I think I could put up with at least a couple more volumes of them.
Yes. This series has definitely, DEFINITELY grown on me. Pretty above average shoujo, I think. Though anything reads better after Day of Revolution, which… yeah.
