Planet Ladder

Captured finally the 4th World Telene's ruler, our heroes bluff. Bambi acts as mouthpiece for/under the spell of The Princess of Choosing as all gawk at the strange entourage of silver-haired beauty, expressionless princess & doll, & giant rooster(keeping his beak shut). 7th world Geo's Emperor Kura awaits his prize, but doesn't trust Telene to deliver, sending Deimion to pick up Kaguya, but at the last minute Telene's ruler tries to keep Bambi as his own, forcing Kaguya to activate Gold's attack to free her. We get a first show of Kura's Living [Tool] Nox Light thru Nox Knight Deimion to subdue Kaguya's display of Gold's power which also reveals Bambi as a survivor of the destroyed 9th world & heir of Ragunahaan who possessed another Living [Tool]. Gold snags Kaguya & escapes with his creator Seeu while Bambi & Waseda are delivered to Geo. More secrets are revealed as Meshie Laracott, Sage of the Comet Taboo shows up in Seeu's palace after the Mad Prince passes out(from too much emotional stimulus--untouched by human hands as he was reared by dolls so he shuts down when he can't cope with Kaguya's claim Gold spoke to her as Kagami & she's also met Waseda). The 2 pg mini-comic at the end about teen girls(Kaguya) & their weight is cute. This story takes awhile to get going, but it is an excellent read, although a bit confusing. Just as one fits pieces together, the next volume rearranges the view. This is not magical girl like Rayearth, but more chosen one since there isn't so much magic as powers & science in this book--Living Weapons with incredible powers, youthful mages possessing distinct powers to each one(such as Meshie who remembers each of his lives as he is reincarnated & has survived the end of the universe many times, but has failed to alter fate as Kagami did sacrificing himself to save Seeu & Kaguya) "collapsers" which between the worlds/dimensions, & living dolls/robots.
