Today's post is on Alichino volume 3 by Kouyu Shurei. It is 168 pages long and is published by Tokyopop. The cover has the three of the main characters on it. It is the third in her Alichino series so you need to have read the first two to understand what is going on. The intended reader is someone who likes darker epic fantasy and beautiful art. There is no foul language, no sex, and mild violence in this manga. The story is told from third person close of Tsugiri. There Be Spoilers Ahead.
From the back of the book- Finaly, the mysterious connection between Ryko, Myobi, Hibiki, and Matsurika is revealed!
Ryoko spots a figure in a crowd, and by his reaction, Tsugiri can tell it's not just anyone. The person turns out to be Hibiki, an old friend who's being used by Matsurika. Once Matsurika gets hold of something, she never lets go- and her next target seems to be Tsugiri!
Review- Unfortunately this is the last volume of Alichino, the author was injured and has never drawn anything again, best that I can find in my personal research. So we get no real conclusion to the story. We do not know what Tsugiri can do or why, everything just stops for us the readers. In this volume we discover how Ryoko and Myobi met and made their contract and why. But no other answers into this world are given. This series so beautiful and it makes me sad that Shurei never recovered from her accident as she is so talented. If you want something that is pretty to look at and do not mind not having an ending then read this series but if unfinished plots bother you then pass this one.
I give this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
