I really hate to give away surprises, or plot elements when writing these reviews, but i’m not really sure what to stress more. So i’ll just keep trying my best.
So. In this volume, Canon reaffairms that yes, she does have feelings for Sakaki. And once again…things aren’t as they seem.
We get to go back to the day that Rod killed Sakaki’s parents. Apparently, Canon was there. She was out wandering the hospital’s grounds (because i guess she had some terminal illness, though if this was mentioned in vol.2 i hardly can recall) and came upon them. ROD was going to kill her then and there, But his father Ricardo (wtf kind of a name? but anyways..) jumps infront of her and he dies. And Rod feeling bad for killing his old friend, vows to keep her alive, so he can feel better about himself.
Rod goes on to say that he learned of the value of the “human heart” like Ricardo did. But Sakaki doesn’t care and is hell bent on having him killed. So he tries again to manipulate Canon and just about gets the job done. But she snaps out of it.
Another Vampire is thrown into the mix. And the a-hole basically wants Sakaki dead, and Canon dead, and though he’s on Rod’s team, if it’s true that he’s been giving his life force to Canon to fiend off her disease…well he wouldn’t mind if Rod died to.
Basically, it’s become this weird sort of love triangle. Canon in love with Sakaki, Rod in love with Canon (my asumption, but it sure does seem like it) and POSSIBLY Sakaki in love with Canon.
It tries to imply that there is that possibility in a few panels. Basically it’s a tough call. and I’m curious to see how this one will end. But i do not predict that it will end, well.
