the best 1 yet!

the 5th book is the best book by far, the other books were pretty much fun & games but this book really reveals all of the troubles of our lovable characters. in this we finally find out about izumi's past, u really start feeling sorry 4 him, i mean his mother was so abusive, and he was only a few years old 2! tear, sniff... the ending 2 this book was such a bad place 2 stop, i mean, jonathon captures izumi. who is jonathon really, i mean we haven't ever seen him in a human form, hes always a ghost. when the 6th book came out i was sort of disappointed cause it just didn't compare 2 the 5th book.^_^ book 5 is my fav. book of all time!^_^

Troubling Times

When we last left our characters, Takuto had expressed his love to Mitsuki. Meroko, upset at the loss of Takuko's love (though she never had it to begin with ^_^) and confused by the sudden return of her human memories, asked Izumi to take her back to the underworld. In the newest volume, just before Meroko and Izumi leave, Mitsuki shows up to try and bring her back. She tries to explain the circumstances but will this be enough to bring Meroko back home? With Mitsuki and FullMoon's birthday 2 days away, everyone is celebrating... including a fan of FullMoon's who does not want her to sing. When the crazed fan starts to attack FullMoon's human friends, Mitsuki wants to give up her singing career. Will she give into the fan's demands? And more importantly: will the culprit ever be caught? Also in the manga, Izumi's human past revealed! What forced him to take his own life? After the first four light-hearted volumes, volume 5 seems to be the most troubling, with less laughter and several heart stopping moments. Its not any less awesome than the other volumes but it is darker. The ending will blow you away! What a terrible place to leave the story at! Hopefully July will come fast so we can get volume 6 soon. Add this volume to your manga collection as soon as possible. It was well worth the wait so why wait any longer? Enjoy!
