Black Bird, Volume 5

With the demon prophecy even more of a mystery than in the beginning, Misao and Kyo ring in the New Year and decide to visit Kyo's home to visit his grandfather, who is putting pressure on the two to marry and consummate their relationship. Will Misao, the bride of prophecy, get answers at Tengu no Sato? Or will she just wind up in deeper trouble? I am absolutely loving this series! Even when Misao is crying or may seem weak, the amount of strength she shows in dangerous and heart-wrenching situations is beautiful. Even though it's not a lot, its fun seeing Kyo's home and hearing from the people who knew him when he was younger and separated from Misao. It's great seeing character introductions, little tidbits from the author, and art from fan requests scattered throughout the volumes plus the cover pages for each chapter is black & white, but you can tell at one point they were colored, I'd love to see those in color. I just finished volume 5 of 18 of writing this, and I can't wait to get to the higher volumes.
