Kekkaishi Vol 12-13

Ok, Kekkaishi, you’re supposed to be the shounen action series with a male lead that doesn’t leave the heroine behind when it’s time to fight. What’s with leaving Tokine behind when assembling the squad to go save Yoshimori and Sen? Though, as the rescue squad didn’t do much more than retrieval, I can’t complain much.

And I’ll take Tokine punching Yoshimori for running off like an idiot and lecturing him as compensation. The surprise Yuri appearance also helps. Because I do love Yuri.

I admit, I was bored by a good chunk of this. Mostly because Kaguro both bores and irritates me, and he was everywhere. And he keeps killing/beating characters who are more interesting than him.

But I did enjoy Yoshimori’s meeting with the princess, and his teaming up with Sen. I still have difficulty believing that Sen is a guy. He even has normal “destined to be sidelined from the fight” shounen girl abilities and techniques,

And am I the only one who thinks Takeshi Kongoh is Edward Elric’s long lost twin?

I guess the thing is, during some parts of the story, I felt that the author was making things go too well for Yoshimori, and it seemed that events were favoring him in a way they didn't Tokine. But, as you say, I didn't read on, so that may change later. /shrug

You're absolutely right. Yoshimori has it easier than Tokine in a ton of respects...and that's actually a huge plot point that leads to some very interesting character development for both.
