Ririchiyo has decided to make a fresh start, removing the blinders from her eyes and releasing Soushi from his contract. From now on, she has resolved to treat this incarnation of Soushi as his own person and to mourn the loss of the man she loved in a previous life. The change has given Ririchiyo a clear perspective, but Soushi's heart remains clouded. Playing the part of his former self for Ririchiyo's sake was an act--what will happen when Soushi's true feelings come to light...?
Sighhhhh. I will stick with this, because these are fast reads and I need to know what ends up happening with Soushi and Ririchiyo. But honestly... I kind of wish I'd just watched the anime and left it at that. =S Things could have gone SO many interesting directions, emotionally, after the end of Vol. 4, but I feel like the last three volumes have lacked any kind of emotional payoff. EXCEPT for one single scene between Ririchiyo and Sorinozuka. That was a good scene. *prays for more of that in Vol's 8-11*
