Crossroad 6
Posted: February 4, 2008 Filed under: Crossroad Leave a comment »One thing I forgot to mention last time is that not only does this series win out over my general dislike of sibling relationships (even between step-siblings), it also wins out over my dislike for teacher-student relationships. Because Kajitsu and Akai have such a friendly, not-quite-romantic relationship, it’s easier to swallow, and it’s hard not to like it when the two of them tease each other almost constantly. Neither one ever takes advantage of the other, even when they live with each other briefly, and I really respected that. I can’t really decide which of the guys I prefer for Kajitsu, Natsu or Akai.
But things are once again moving towards Natsu. Actually, this volume had an element of almost total finality to it, but there’s still a chance that either Taro or Akai will interrupt the somewhat smooth flow things have taken. A lot of time is also spent on Natsu and Erica’s relationship, which I still can’t really figure out. It’s explained much more loosely than the other relationships in the series, so… well, I don’t know.
But yes, the next volume will wrap things up. There’s still a couple things that could happen and a couple alternate matches that could be made, so I can’t wait to see how things wind up.
