Pai’s memory is still not back. The beginning of the volume concerns taming the Sanjiyan, who has also lost her memory, and the end of the volume explains why Pai still doesn’t have her memories, and sets up a quest so that Yakumo et al can remove the last seal from Pai.
The Sanjiyan goes on a rampage for most of the volume. She summons a beast and smashes things in grand style. But because she doesn’t have her memory, she doesn’t know the extent of her powers, who she is, what she can do, or what she’s capable of. She only knows she’s powerful. It’s kind of an interesting idea.
There’s a really cute scene between Yakumo and the Sanjiyan that I almost didn’t pick up on. The Sanjiyan asks if she’ll get to meet the man inside her when she gets her memory back, and when Yakumo asked what that meant, she said it felt like there was a soul inside her body. It wasn’t really explained, and it should be fairly obvious, but yes, the soul is Yakumo’s, and I thought it was cute. Anyway.
Yeah, this series is great.
Oh yeas. I love it. I’m glad I have all the books available in english. And I might as well continue reading the scans.. ;-)
