Nope, I give up. Just when Tanikaze is starting to make a relationship that you can almost sense emotion from, the girl dies. Nice. Yeah, I'm good, no more of this series for me.

3.5 It's still really hard to follow, but I'm enjoying it.

The only thing that brings this volume down is the frustration I feel for Tanikaze and the fact he does nothing to clear his name. Usually he doesn't have a filter, only when it matters he's quiet. I just never understood that direction in his character arc.

via NYPL - There are some interesting ideas here, but lack of storytelling clarity is really hampering the reading experience and preventing the coolness from coming across effectively. The characters are indistinguishable from each other and the action is impossible to follow.

I LOVE Hoshijiro - so why is this part, and the next, one of my favorites??

The Sidonia continues on and faces more Gauna. Tanikaze continues to learn about life on Sidonia and advances in the ranks.

Mysteries continue, some answers are given, but key aspects of Tanikaze's character and past keep me interested. There are some anime/manga tropes that bug me a bit here, but they also make me curious--what are their links to Japanese culture, and what tropes in American fiction might stand out to foreigners?
