After what I'm pretty sure was a multi-year hiatus, D.N. Angel returns to pick up just where we left off. Although my memory isn't all that great I still remember Risa being taken from the top of a ferris wheel by a mysterious man bent on luring Dark to his lair.

As we start off Satoshi is trying to convince Daisuki that he just wants to help find Risa, stating that since the kidnapper, Argentine, is a Hikari artwork, Satoshi is sure he knows just where Risa is. Despite protests from Dark and his family Daisuki decides to trust Satoshi and attempt a rescue of Risa.

The story here is just as good as I remember it and even though it has been so long since I left off, I didn't feel lost at all. I really enjoyed how we learned more about Argentine and his reasons for kidnapping Risa. His quest is very sad and despite her fear, Risa can't help but feel pity for the strange being. As always I like the friendship between Daisuki and Satoshi and Daisuki and Dark. There is an appreciation between the characters tempered with a lot of humor that I find very enjoyable. The artwork is always enjoyable with lots of cute characters and clear emotions. Very well done and I'm so glad to see that this series has picked up again. ( )
