Okko, Volume 2: The Cycle of Earth
I complained about women being only either evil or geishas in Vol 1, and this Volume has 2 bad ass chicas. I totally love this series, what can I say. The cutting between Tikku's present and past is what really sends this series over the moon for me. The writer always puts the perfect emotionally-heavy moment right at the half way point in the story. A+
