This review is from: Angelic Layer, Vol. 3 (Paperback)

There is a nice break from the Angelic Layer tournament in the beginning of the volume. Misaki hangs out with Koutarou and goes over to his family's dojo to watch him do some karate so she can get some ideas for fighting moves. During this, some light romance starts to bloom, and you can tell Misaki and Koutarou have some feelings towards each other.

There are then three doll battles in this volume, and they are a bit more interesting and exciting since the opponents are stronger and trickier. I especially liked the battle between Shirahime and and Suzuka, because it was over in one move.

The art is cute as always, and I have to say that I really liked the designs of the opponents' dolls, namely Shirahime. She is gorgeous.

This review is from: Angelic Layer, Vol. 3 (Paperback)

This is the third in the five-book series, Angelic Layer, and picks up immediate where the second book left off. The Angelic Layer tournament in Kanto continues, and the contests are getting harder and harder for young Misaki Suzuhara. But, fighting with skill and luck and a lot of heart, she is a fierce competitor. But now she is coming up against the top fighters, the ones talking about her "weakness." What does that mean?

This is another great Angelic Layer book, one that keeps up the quality that you saw in the first two. The action is quick and intense, leaving you on the edge of your seat! As with the other books, this book is printed so as to be read from back-to-front, right-to-left, in the Japanese style, helping to give the reader the feeling of entering another world. This is a great book, and I must say that I can't wait to get on to #4! Go Misaki and Hikaru!
