oyceterI am kind of amazed at the relative lack of genderfail in this series so far (relative as compared to some of Yuki Kaori's other series), though given Yuki Kaori's track record, I expect this to change at any second.
The return of Spinel! AWESOME! And I'm glad there's still a bit more on the relationship between Lucille and Eles, since I continue to be afraid that it will be All About Lucille. I mean, it clearly already is All About Lucille, but I am afraid it will be even more so! Still, I am very much amused by just how many people are out to kill (fuck) Lucille because he is just that beautiful and amazing and broken. I am also for hoping for much more re: Cordie/Gemsilica and Morion, aka, the Trio of DOOM for this manga.
I also suspect I will be requesting fic for this come Yuletide. Hopefully by then a few volumes will be out in English so people who are not me will have read it! But I doubt it will be up to volume 3 and its tempting bits of Spinel backstory!
I am a bit boggled by all the double and triple crossing going on in the Gwindel/Jadeite story. He did actually infect his daughter so he could sculpt her, right? Because EW. Despite my loving Yuki Kaori's id, sometimes what she thinks of as sympathetic motivation does not really work for me. See: Jezebel Disraeli.
I also laughed and laughed and laughed at the Garnet/Carnelian reveal and how he is also in love with Lucille! Because everyone is in love with Lucille! Sadly, Lucille is not yet as awesome as Alexiel, but then, who is?
I am still waiting for Barthie's backstory and how he came to cut his own throat and why in the world he's walking around in a cat mask.
But mostly: Spinel! WHOO!
