Canon, vol 4

 

Today's post is on Canon, vol 4 by Chika Shiomi. It is 194 pages long and was published by CMX Comics. As it is the fourth in the series, you need to have read the first three volumes to understand the story. The cover has Canon and Sakaki on it. The intended reader is someone who likes shojo manga and vampire love stories. The story is told from third person close of Canon. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- Allegiances shift and the battle lines are drawn as Canon faces her true enemy. She's made a vow that she won't let one more person die... unless she takes the fall herself. The powerful Glenn is prepared to take her on, but Rod forbids him to kill her., leading to a fateful rift between the vampire allies. And is it possible that Canon still has a chance to regain her humanity?

Review- A interesting conclusion to a short series. Canon regains control of herself with help from her bird friend and she is sick of all the death around her. So she wants to save everyone is willing die trying. The story ends happily with Canon and Sakaki going to try and just be in love with no revenge or death handing around them. The last half of this volume is about Sakaki and his past from when his parents died to him being saved by another half-vampire. It added some good depth to his character and motives. The romance in very light in this series, so if you are looking for an intense love story then you will be disappointed with this series. But if like me, you are looking for a strong heroine, who grows and changes over the course of the story and influences those around her, then you should enjoy Canon. 

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.
