Wake Up, Sleeping Beauty, Vol. 4

Today’s post is on Wake Up, Sleeping Beauty, Vol. 4 by Megumi Morino. It is 192 pages long and is published by Kodansha Comics. The cover has Shizu, Tetsu, and Chihiro on it. As it is the fourth in the series you need to have read the first three volumes to understand the story. The intended reader is someone who likes supernatural manga and manga with intense plots. There is no foul language no sex, and no violence in this manga. The story is told from third person close of the main character, Tetsu. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- THE MOVING FORWARD
Shizu's grand scheme to get Tetsu to play soccer one last time was a big success, and has become a catalyst for change for everyone involved. One of the biggest changes comes from Chihiro, who works up the courage to tell Tetsu his biggest secret. Will this revelation tear the friends apart?

Review- Tetsu makes some peace with his past and the choices that he made. Tetsu and Chihiro have a heart-to-heart about their friendship and come back together. Shizu is getting more and more free and less afraid of the world around her but her father comes back in this volume and he wants to send her away. Now her mother has to make some choices. The plot is getting more and more intense as Shizu tries to take control of her future and not be in the power of those who don’t love her and will not care for her. Tetsu of course is trying to help her and he may get himself into some trouble to free Shizu. I am pulling for them both in this dangerous place they have found themselves. Only two more volumes to finish this series and I am anxious for these characters. 

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.
