Pet Shop of Horrors: Tokyo Vol 3

[meganbmoore]

This volume seemed to be a lot more about Kabuki-cho than about D and his shop. Actually, this series as a whole has a bit of that going, the earlier volumes just not as much so. Not a complaint as I like stories like that, but I wonder if that has to do with the series being set in Tokyo, instead of an unspecified U.S. series like the first was.

There also seemed to be less of Woo Fei here than other volumes, but we did get an interesting look into his darker side in the second chapter.

But where did the Leon cameo and story about D’s father that we had in the first two volumes go? I anticipate those! They’re my favorite part!

And was Femto in the first series, but I’ve forgotten him, or from another of Matsuri Akino’s series? I wasn’t clear on that bit. And did I also forget that the animals changed shape? I always thought that they were always in their humanoid forms, but looked like animals to most people, not that they changed shape. But then, it’s been a while since I read the original series, and it’s one of several that went missing when I moved, so I don’t have it to go back and check.

Enh. You just haven't pored over source material for ficcing purposes, that's all. ;-)

There's also the MISSING FOR THREE YEARS part. Otherwise, I would have reread it before starting the new series.

That has less of an impact than you might think. I loaned vols 1-5 to a friend 4 years ago and haven't seen them since.
