Review:
Spoilers!
This Guy:
…is evil.
Emma,
…faces challenges.
William,
…actually, is a bit of an asshole. But when push comes to shove (& comes to the second-to-last volume), he may just be growing a pair:
Jones vs Jones!
There is a whole volume left (actually, a volume and a half, not just because vol. 7 is a fat chunka manga but also because there are an extra couple of chapters waiting at the end of volume 10) so, while we’re close to the end we’re not quite there yet. But… maybe we could have a page at the end of the book, showing the two leads each staring longingly into the dread dark of night, though they are separated by thousands of miles,
Yeah. That’s the stuff.
