| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- Wow, that second part had so much tension! I'm going back on my words about that title not being good. That was actually very enjoyable. Using 2 volumes for one arc really help building the characters and caring for them, which was one of my heaviest problem with the first volume which was a stand alone, and on top of this, that tension! And the characters were nice too. Pfle in particular was amazing. Shadowgale was very nice too, and so are a few others like Deetick Bell (sp?). That ending. Both on the "players" and on the "master" side too. Wow. I think the next volume is a compilation of short stories about various (already dead?) characters so the next part should be volume 5 I guess? I hope it's as good as this one really. That was DAMN enjoyable. |

| Wow, such a improvement over the first arc! Not like it was flawless but that whodunnit, incredible tension, new abilities... not to mention the way it built up on the previous arc, produced a good story. The characters also felt generally more interesting/likeable (and Pfle is awesome), I even felt bad for the traitor... |
 |
| What a great arc and I enjoyed the arc even more than the first arc. Detick Bell,Pechika,Leonetta,Lapis Lazuline,Pfle and Shadow Gale were my Favorite Characters. |

| The thing that confuses me is, if you're ostensibly trying to test the girls for aptitude for being a magical girl, why have someone who can win if they kill everyone else, and then set the game so that it cannot end until either that one has succeeded or died? For everything aside from that there had been, at least in theory, a way for everyone to make it through alive. But then suddenly at the end someone has to be killed? It's a fundamental flaw in the structure of the game, and it rather goes against Keek's insistance that she hadn't killed anyone if she had set the game to be unwinnable without at least one of them dying. Maybe there was a way to end the game with everyone still alive. Did anyone at any point say that the Evil King actually needed to be killed? Then again, games that don't reward the traits they are designed to seek seem to be a recurring theme in this series. That isn't meant as an attack on the story, which was great, but rather as a criticism of the actions of characters within the game. Before I started volume 2 I looked at the abilities and labelled Nokko and Melville as the two most dangerous based purely on their abilities (and Melville's visual similarity to a certain someone from the first volume was obvious). Strangely enough, though, I then largely forgot about this while reading the story. Nokko barely featured on my suspicions list until the point where she disappeared. The character I most hoped would survive was of course Lazuline. Who wasn't even supposed to be there, and was clearly different in terms of attitude to the others even before her lack of connection to Cranberry emerged. |

Who wasn't even supposed to be there, and was clearly different in terms of attitude to the others even before her lack of connection to Cranberry emerged. Well it clearly appears by the end of this volume that Keek's reasoning is completely twisted and flawed, and one reason for that is that her memory and though process is being artificially impaired. She doesn't realize that what she's doing doesn't make sense compared to what she pretends to stand for and definitely has nothing to do with justice. This will be even more evident when you'll read in the short story volumes why Keek really chose Magical Daisy. There's an abysmal gap between what Keek believes she's fighting for and what she's really doing. That character is full of blatant contradictions that are revealed to come from that mind alteration she received. And yeah, it's too bad for Lazuline. |

| This arc has lame villains and plot twists. It also doesn't feel like it needs to be twice as long as the previous arc since everybody dies anyway. It is still fun to read, at least, and the girls have creative powers. |
