I adore Tsubasa and his ability. He's awesome.. ::ahem:: Moving on.

In this volume we come to the end of the "Z arc". We learn who "Z" and her companion, Shiki, are.. sort of.. and about what they're trying to do with the academy... sort of (again). Basically the manga leaves you with mysteriousness that deals with Z and Naru-sensei (and the academy), that will be explained later on in the series (we all hope). But, that's what's interesting about the series. ^_^
In this volume, Mikan, shows she can step it up and be somewhat smart. It also shows how much she cares for everyone and how strong the bonds she made with her classmates are. A very, "Aw.." moment. With the end of the Z arc we go into the Christmas Season and Natsumes birthday. Mikan and co., compete with each other to get the best present for Natsume. The deal for the competition is.. Natsume picks the person who has the best present, then he picks the person who had the worst and after that.. the person who has the wosrt has to do what the person who had the best.. wants. Much the hilarious moment.. ensues.

This manga gets a 4 (4.5 really) from me because it doesn't really conclude anything.. just leaving you wondering.. "Wha-?", but is still wonderful. Tsubasa shows an adorable face and we get to laugh and enjoy the moments with the group. We also get to learn more about the characters in their character profiles. Can't wait until volume 9 (even if it has.. him, on it)!
