Damn, an almost return to form, with its emotional core back at the forefront of its storytelling, Volume 12's chapters are shaping the series into a conclusion that may bring forth a catharsis that will live up to its own hype. Though still picking up the pieces, I am glad to see the upward curvature that this narrative may take, hoping that it doesn't loosen the reins of this moment of intimacy and continues forward with it. Without a doubt, I am eager to start the next book.
