Law of Ueki 13
Posted: September 26, 2008 Filed under: Law of Ueki 3 Comments »Hmm. It took me a long time to review this one, for some reason. I think it’s been sitting here for almost two weeks.
Using a very shounen formula, Ueki winds up indesposed for most of the volume, so it’s up to Mori, Sano, and Hideyoshi to take out Team Marilyn, minus Marilyn, who’s of course looking for Ueki. The team members are weapons experts, of course, but the three good guys wind up being slippery enough that the team resorts to their powers. Two of the characters reveal their powers pretty quickly, and just as quickly, the three heroes work up an elaborate scheme to thwart them. Sano and Hideyoshi both have some good character moments, Sano when he basically hits rock bottom and believes there’s really no way for him to win against his opponent, and Hideyoshi when he’s told by Sano to run away and save himself when the others are being attacked. The round ends, and by the end of the volume, things have gone into overtime with only a few people left standing, Marilyn and Ueki included back in with their teams.
You know what doesn’t happen? Yeah. I avoided talking about it. But there’s one thing I’ve been waiting for these last several volumes. It STILL doesn’t happen. It’s not even really mentioned. But… something will have to happen next volume, I think. I hope. The chase is on, and is there really any other way?
I still really like this series despite the fact it’s slipping slightly backwards into mediocre shounen territory… the kind of funny and unique battles are what I like about it, and while we do find out all the other player’s powers, including Marilyn (who of course has the coolest power in the series so far), most of the volume is spent fighting and digging out the inner self. I think there will be a bit more of the latter before the battle with Team Marilyn is over, but I’m looking forward to the last few rounds since we are now closing in on the end of the race for the crown.
why don’t you start reading My Heavenly Hockey Club?
Even if it has some mistakes, I believe you won’t get bothered ’cause it’s 5% sport and 95% comedy.
BTW,I do know what u were talking about, but come on.
Ueki is over…and the chase is off…
I do read My Heavenly Hockey Club, I really like it. I still haven’t read the newest volume yet, though. I’m a big fan of the artist that draws it, I also really like her other series Duck Prince, Your and My Secret, and Strawberry-chan.
I don’t know, I’m kind of looking forward to the end of Ueki. I probably won’t like it, but I really loved this series, so it’d be a shame if I quit three volumes from the end.
i hope guys your next feature is the episode 40 coz i really love it ahhh thanksss….
