Rach's Reviews > Black Bird, Vol. 3

If there’s one thing this series has going for it, it’s the fast pace and ease with which I can fly through them. So much happens in every volume, it makes it hard to look away.

However the numerous ways in which their lack of communication causes misunderstandings… dislike that trope. I do appreciate that as volumes have progressed, Kyo seems to have taken a step back and waits for Misao to voice a desire. Especially now that they are… dating? Together, at least. It’s kinda nebulous and again Kyo keeps hiding the intensity of his world by just giving her a safety pendant without fully expressing the sacrifice it was for him to do so.

Will say, for all of Misao’s foolhardyness, she managed to figure out a way to decipher which of the Kyo clones was the real one. Of course only he would be upset at her trying to hurt herself - we’ve established all the other demons that are unaffiliated with Kyo don’t give a shit about her (🙄).

Now that the obsession is waning (slightly), Misao is finally thinking more long-term and what may happen if she fully agrees to marry him. Admittedly? The moment when Kyo says he won’t take away what she loves was… quite nice.
