Angel Sanctuary Vol 7

My disorganized thoughts, I show them to you!

Metatron's rabbit is creepy.  Rosiel in charge of Heaven somehow isn't.  Sevothtarte is definitely a woman, given the reaction to Rosiel's demand for hand kissing.

Setsuna trapped in Alexiel's body!  Let's see if he keeps talking about how girls should concentrate on being nice and pretty so guys will want to rescue them.  I admit, I'm not much of a fan of Setsuna.  Yet, I like Alexiel.  My logic, it fails.  Setsuna's traumatizing of Boyz was fun, but I hope Setsuna and Alexiel somehow end up separate people in separate bodies so she can smack him around some for it.

NEW CHARACTERS!  Michael is fun.  Except for the skank comment.  So is Kamael.  Raphael would be more fun if he weren't a slut.  Mad Hatter just kinda gets weirder.

I wonder if Kurai had as many people hitting on her throughout her whole life as she's had this volume and the last.

Kira's fakeout was...interesting.  Wish I knew for sure how much was true.

The Lailah subplot, depending on how it plays out, has the potential to hit a lot of my kinks.  We shall see.

The Zaphikel/Raziel subplot is interesting.  I'm guessing Raziel used to be someone else.  Zaphikel's eyes can't be cured?  I wonder if it's a "looking directly at God" thing.

Now, Kaori Yuki:  LET! SARA! DO! SOMETHING!

I don't like Setsuna either yet Alexiel is my favourite character, so I don't find anything wrong in your logic. XD

And that's all I'll say since I'm always scared about accidentally spoiling something, lol.

I think part of my problem with Setsuna is that his "girls should focus on being pretty so guys will want to save them" comment was when I started to wonder about Kaori Yuki and her ideas about women in fiction. (Reading her author's notes just makes me wonder even more...) Just to make it odder for me: I find Setsuna to be his most entertaining when he's wangsting over how his love for Sara is oh-so-forbidden...but Sara is my favorite after Kira and kurai because of her "screw you!" attituide when people try to make her feel shame, and her acceptance of it, so even though he's entertaining me, I want to tell him to shut up and learn from her.

Setsuna's attitude towards women bothered me too but I knew going in that Kaori Yuki likes to create bad-ass women so I never had any issue with her. Later on I did start liking Setsuna more but he bugged me for a long time (and even later, he was still pretty low on the list of characters I liked since there were so many others that I liked better).

Yeah, it's so weird. I mean, except for Sara's friend and maybe Noyz(who she's admit she never originally planned to do much with and isn't sure what to do) every (confirmed) female character in the book has been pretty awesome. But then most of the males to exhibit an opinion about women are sexist or woman haters, and it's not treated like a bad thing, and her author's notes...ok, this will sound bad, but I just can't think of another way to describe them...read like a stereotypical fangirl squee with a yaoi bent, and one that almost forgets girls are there.
