Wish, Volume 3 Book

Rating

I have given Wish (Vol. 03) a rating of 4/5.

Genre

Wish (Vol. 03) is a fantasy shoujo manga, concerning angels and demons.

About the Book

The main plot of this initial series is that an angel is saved by a human, who then grants the human one wish. The problem is, the human has no wish he desires; this causes the angel to stick around.

Within this volume, we get to see our angel, Kohaku, and our human, Shuichiro, beginning to bond even more than they already have; going on outings and spending time with each other, and we even get to see Shuichiro showing care and concern for Kohaku.

Of course our resident tiny demon steps in and creates more angst than what I would personally like, but it evolves into such a beautiful story, introducing us to even more amazing characters.

Why did I choose this book to read?

I chose to read this book as I have already read volumes 1 and 2 of the manga before, and I chose to read the manga series itself as it was written by CLAMP, who are solid favourite manga writers of mine.

Pricing

I read this online at MangaFox (I know, I'm terrible, but I am Poor.)

What did I think of it?

I think this was a well written volume of Wish. I really loved the developments with the characters that we know already, and I think the new characters introduced were enjoyable. There was quite a lot of angst in this volume, a lot that hurt my heart, but I found it enjoyable and well written.

Did I have any qualms with it?

My only qualm is that this volume seems to move very quickly on the time frame. It's merely mentioned that two weeks have passed and it was a little disconcerting to have to stop and try and think about which parts of what you've already read has been past the two week time frame. It would have been nice to have more clarification on this time switch.

Would I recommend it and who to?

I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys angel and demon manga, or shoujo manga or both.

Overall opinion

I think this was a brilliant continuation of the Wish manga and I found it very enjoyable. My heart broke so many times during this volume, and I can't actually wait to find out more in the last volume of this series.
