So after much waiting and anticipation the next volume of Aria is finally out! In it Akari helps out the mailman when his gondola needs repairs, we meet Alice’s trainer Athena who has a gorgeous voice but is even more of a klutz and spaced out than Akari, Akira puts the girls through tough training, Aika and Al (and Akari) find the perfect spot to see a meteor shower, and Akari finds and enjoys a new, unusual cafe.
This volume reminds me exactly why I love this series so much! The visuals are lovely as always, especially the backgrounds – which is a good thing since Aria itself is as much a character as anyone else! This is such an optimistic series, where the best is seen in everyone and in every situation. I love our main characters too. Please TokyoPop, don’t let the release of the next volume take quite so long, but whatever else you do, please don’t drop this series!
