[spoiler]tragedy with the Freedert storyline. I also liked the fight between Dark and Krad.[/spoiler]
I didn't like the scene with Risa and the guard, however. It was surprising for her to seduce an older man. Also, To-to's comments to Dark got a little inappropriate in this volume, but I liked it nonetheless.
Yeah, the whole Risa guard incident was a little questionable, but all she did was show a little leg. It could have been A LOT worse.
But, gos, Ris! He's way too old for you!
I was a little disappointed with this volume. It didn't further the plot substantially, IMHO. Oh, well, I guess it had to be done anywas.
Oh, one thing in this volume did make me happy though [spoiler=this volume] The Risa x Satoshi moments and hints. I want them to get together so bad!!![/spoiler]
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill.
Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence.
