A reading of the first four volumes, this one remains my favorite I think. After the end of Volume 2 which left all these people in many awkward position, our trio finds himself once again to have to give everything to get by. While a fight is held between the two heroes of schools to address the situation, it's Chance is designated by lot to be the champion ... to the chagrin of everyone. For if it is appreciated, nobody has any illusions about these capabilities. So when Funeral learns to her friends that she might die, nothing goes. Shadow and Xiong Mao makes a perilous place in the hope of providing a chance at their friend while their comrades Chance result.
Much is at stake in this album, whether in school or in the evolution of different characters or even in their interactions! The travel Xiong and Shadow is both restful, deep and paradoxically intense. They face an unknown and wild place, but also their own demons, and Xiong feels the weight of his task. Chance to learn to fight, whereas until now it did not shine much. But it will be much smarter and determine what others can imagine, and it will prove full of resource and determination to carry out its task. As for his connection ... ooh la ...: D
In short, a very very good tome that closes the first arc of the series (in my opinion).
