Swan 5
Posted: May 13, 2007 Filed under: Swan Leave a comment »I finally got my hands on volume 5! It took long enough. It was worth it, though. I certainly do love Swan.
Since I already pretty much figured out what happened in this volume (L. Maximova turns out to be someone else), there wasn’t too much in the way of surprises in this volume. It was worth reading, though, for the beautiful sequences in which Larissa and Masumi dance Swan Lake as the white and black swan, then swap out. Aside from the georgeous artwork in all four dances, we also get indepth interpretations for both roles, different for each girl.
Plus, you know, max emotions. I was actually pretty surprised by the outcome of the contest between Larissa and Masumi. Since I knew what happened after that though, the rest was… less than surprising.
