Cheeky Angel 18
July 31, 2007
I had a book fair this weekend, so unfortunately I don’t have that much to talk about manga-wise. Particularly since I’m getting down to the bottom of the stack in my recent orders and… am left with things like Cheeky Angel.
So the characters are kidnapped yet again by Miki’s spited fiancé (or something, it could be someone else whom I’ve forgotten). It gets a bit more hardcore this time around though, someone gets hamstringed, which is pretty weird. The attackers try to put the characters against each other, including putting Meg against Miki. I got into it a bit, even though I was strenuously opposed to another plot like this.
Let me also say there is FINALLY some substantial hints about Meg and Genzo. Nothing concrete. Nothing to indicate that they could be a couple. Just some hints from Meg. With two volumes left, I don’t have high hopes for that going anywhere, but it’s there all the same. As much as we have been beat to death by this couple over the course of the series, this is seriously the only substantial “more than friends” hint we’ve ever gotten. Hell, Meg shows more affection to Miki, so maybe it isn’t a “more than friends” hint.
I’m just saying. I’d better be blown away by the end of this series.
