W Juliet 8
Posted: March 5, 2007 Filed under: W Juliet 1 Comment »Are you guys ready for the second half of W Juliet? I read it all in the past two days, which blows my mind.
This answered the question right away about what Ito’s brothers would do when she was out all night unexpectedly, then out for another day while skipping school after that. I’m glad that wasn’t ignored completely.
A lot of this volume was about Ito’s brother Yuto and Mako’s sister Akane meeting, ruining an arranged marriage, then getting together. I kinda didn’t see that one coming, it’s a little weird, but being the only two normal characters in the series, I suppose they’re well-suited to each other. But how weird to have two people marry into the same family. I’m sure it’s not unheard of, though. It did cut into my Mako/Ito cute moments though, which is a big shame.
I cried a little bit on the Kohei chapter, which is the only part in this series that got me a little weepy. It was very good and very well-done.
I didn’t so much like the story about the vengeful mermaid at the end though… much like the time-slip story, it felt a little out of place. But I’m all about Mako rescuing Ito.
