A little bit of an awkward start to this third volume. Since it seems the second volume was originally written as the final one, but then suddenly was made to continue on, there was some weirdness at the start of this one. They had to do some handwaving about the statements made in volume two. Tsukina and Ill are engaged, but then they had to make up an excuse as to why they aren't married yet. Probably to keep the gentle romance still going. They introduced the new Saviour character, and while he seems to be your cliche "I'm going to save the world!" hero, it's hinted there's something not quite right about him. I'm glad they've added some elements of mystery and possible political intrigue. It added a bit more depth to the plot. The cliffhanger ending though... I feel like nothing good can come from that, since Tsukina obviously will turn him down. She's engaged and deeply in love with Ill. I just wonder how this new Saviour, who has already shown that he responds poorly to being told no, will react. ( )
