She's not really any different from how she was when she was first introduced, unless you want to count the fact that she's tight with the rest of the girls and seems capable of functioning as a stand-in leader for them when Ichigo has to do some solo heroics. But it feels like any potential to give Zakuro some character development just went out the window. The previous volume allowed for more moments of character development for Mint and Lettuce, and there was certainly some adorable character development for Pudding with her interactions with her family as well as with Tart. One gripe I have to make is that I feel as though Zakuro doesn't get as much character development as she really deserves. This was such a fun trip down nostalgia lane (and I do look forward to reading the omnibus of the sequel series.) I will say that I have to dock a star from my rating this time around due to some formatting wonkiness in this volume, but that aside, I still feel like this stands as a very solid conclusion to the Tokyo Mew Mew series on the whole. I'm so happy to reach the conclusion of this series once again.

Several people had reason to dislike Gillard, and the Now family are particularly suspect. In this atmosphere, a local ne’er-do-well, Clar Gillard, is found dead in the river. The revelation that his mother has an advanced cancer brings further stress. The action is seen through the eyes of Kyle, a man bruised by the death of his older brother and worried by his father’s alcoholism following Chris’s death. Father Sylvanus, mother Addie and remaining son Kyle are all still mourning in various ways daughter Sylvie is abroad although she shares their grief. The Now family are still struggling to come to terms with the death of Chris, the oldest son, some years after the event. This book is set in a small waterside community in rural Newfoundland, where money is tight and neighbours help each other out: the kind of place where everyone’s business is on display. As if some added realism would offset–or at best allow–the genre’s supposed excesses, rather than neuter them with irony. It’s an idea that has clearly taken far too much of a hold when a film like La La Land (2016) thinks that “what if there was a Hollywood musical where the performers couldn’t sing or dance?” is an interesting question to ask. So it’s not surprising that people’s feelings bursting out into songs is seen as silly. Their escapism is no longer about absorbing you in, sincerity must always be diffused with self-aware humour, pointing to its artifice before the audience can. Because they are films from a time gone by: in the early post-war period musicals made up about a sixth of all Hollywood productions, but now they seldom produce more than two a year. That’s why Singin’ in the Rain (1952) and The Wizard of Oz (1938) feel like Christmas films even though they really have nothing to do with the season. The technical perfection cleaning off all the rough edges and open artifice of the performances, both in the style of acting and the fact they start singing, create a sense of familiarity and distance a kind of nostalgia. To me, there is no warmer, more cosy genre than the musical, especially ones from the so-called Golden Age of Hollywood. Don’t Tell Me The Light Are Shining Any Place But There Simon has an unprecedented amount of magical power, and is thus dubbed "The Chosen One", the prophesied Greatest Mage.
