Dec 07, Sarah rated it liked it. How I wish I could quit you, Arina Tanemura. But your art is just so gorgeous. There were some surprises in this volume. Byakuya's battle with Maimai goes in a way that I didn't expect at all. Then, it's Kohaku up against Shuri, a ninja that betrayed their village.

Only, that isn't the whole story. It was a pretty fierce battle and I'm still not completely sure how it turned out, but I guess I'll find out in v. Feb 10, Sara rated it it was amazing Shelves: February , June Volume 5 of Sakura Hime revolves around Byakuya and Kohaku.

Byakuya continues her battle with Maimai and we get to see her secret- she also can transform. In the battle, she was able to pull out Sakura's sword, but Sakura was able to feel it and call it back. Maimai doesn't die and Byakuya finds the key to the tower. Kohaku battles with Shuri, but most of it is the back story of Shuri. He quickly becomes a character that is misunderstood and likable- and of course Read in: He quickly becomes a character that is misunderstood and likable- and of course his defeat is heartbreaking. This volume had some strong character development and as the series progresses, I'm more and more impressed.

Wow these backstories get sadder and sadder Beautiful but really heart ranching. The fifth volume continues the quest to rescue Sakura from Enju's moon palace and has even less Sakura herself than the previous volume. Instead, we learn of Byakuya's secret and Kohaku and her ninja friends' story. Although fight with Maimai gets a conclusion, it only teases Byakuya's story actually.

And as a teaser it worked perfectly, I'm dying to know who is really is! I of course have my prediction of the matter Knowing Arina's way of weaving stories, and this one in particular, I'm prett The fifth volume continues the quest to rescue Sakura from Enju's moon palace and has even less Sakura herself than the previous volume. Knowing Arina's way of weaving stories, and this one in particular, I'm pretty sure of the answer. I liked Kohaku's part of the volume a lot! She's been the airhead of the group but here's another, more sad, side to her.

See a Problem?

She's been "the chipper sidekick" but now she gets more meat around her bones. I think this manga's theme could be "hidden selves", meaning that everybody is hiding their true self more or less. Some of them might show it Sakura being the most obvious with her princess self and magical moon girl self but others, like Kohaku, don't change physically but are keeping up the appearances.

And that theme applies to Sakura and her friends and to Enju and the moon people. This volume was very serious too. The flashbacks to Kohaku's childhood in ninja village had some humour yes, but the overall atmosphere was sad and serious. Arina's series aren't comedies but have often a lot of humour but this one has heavier feel in general.

The series has turned into an ensemble piece during the last couple of books. It started as Sakura's story but now it has been everybody's story. I do like reading about the other characters because they are interesting and entertaining but I hope the story focuses on Sakura again soon too.

There's also page short story unrelated to Sakura, called Vampire Rose. It's fun little manga about a school's occult club and a supposed vampire living in the school. The usual million hearts for the art. Dec 20, S. Eries rated it it was ok Shelves: This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. The story then moves on to ninjas Kohaku and Shuri. Through a series of flashbacks, Tanemura-sensei casts an air of tragedy over the fight between former friends, but from a battle standpoint, her depiction of the duel feels flawed.

The story then moves on to the next fight between Kohaku and the deserter ninja Shuri. Kohaku, however, is not the underdog that Naruto is. By the way, Volume 5 includes several extras including bonus funnies, bonus illustrations, and the page one-shot White Rose Academy: Jan 31, Miss rated it liked it.

Did someone say childhood friends? Shoujo manga has trained me to believe these are the greatest most important relationships, full stop. I am super ready to read the story of the reconciliation of Shuri and Kohaku as facilitated by Hayate as mediator.

Did you see that panel at the end when he picked the both of them up? I think my heart grew three sizes just then. I'll see a doctor. Right after Shuri is reintegrated into the village and all the ninjas live happily ever after. I dug the second ha Did someone say childhood friends? I dug the second half of this volume much more than the first because well childhood friends ninja kids backstory, of course I would. But also because I don't really understand Sakura's affection for Maimai. I mean dude turned into a murderer just because he wanted to be beautiful.

And Byakuya raised her, you think she'd be a bit more conflicted about being kind to the man who was trying to kill her three seconds ago. You tried to kill my pseudo-grandma but hey it's cool, of course you're still pretty? Nov 25, Marina rated it really liked it Shelves: I give this 4 stars. Nice to get the back stories for the characters. Lots of couples emerging which I like a lot. Wer war Byakuya wirklich?

Die Geschichte dahinter umso trauriger. Man versteht nun endlich, warum sie ihren alten Kinderfreund Aoba mit Prinz Ora anspricht, obwohl er das selbst nicht will. Dec 08, Miss Ryoko rated it liked it Shelves: I got to hand it to Tanemura-san with this series There is a lot more depth and mystery to all these characters than she's ever put in her stories before. This is definitely her best series! You submitted the following rating and review. We'll publish them on our site once we've reviewed them. Item s unavailable for purchase.
