Samurai Deeper Kyo Vol 28

So, that was the much-hyped Shihodo. I’ve read parts of the manga after this point, but none with her in it. Err…I think I’m just never going to like most characters who like to irritate/annoy people and have it be “cool” the way other fans seem to. But then, I’m not as big a fan of most of the Mibu as most SDK fans seem to be, either. Mostly, I’m neutral about them. Though someone who treats Kyo as if he were permanently five (which he is in some ways) is definitely someone to keep, and I loved the bit with the underwear. (Apparently, those kinds of things lose appeal to Kyo if they aren’t connected to Yuya. And Sasuke has yet to discover hormones.)

But mostly, I would have liked more of Yuya and Akari, and flashbacks/development for Bon and Akira. (Bon likes anyone who can ride on his back, doesn’t he? I’m surprised he hasn’t offered Sasuke piggy-back rides.)

This volume was mostly transition and exposition, really. Next volume is when things get really good.

I'd say "pitiful" is fairly accurate, yes. It...it's kind of like Makie in BotI in a way (the impression I get from her, at least, though with Shihodo, at least it doesn't seem to be her determined to be pathetic and miserable despite plenty of chances to be otherwise).

My opinion of the Tenrou conversation are tied to things later in the series, and so, spoilery.
