Thoughts on the tenth tankobon, which arrived at my local shoppe
today.  (Believe me, with the number of new things it gets in,
shoppe is appropriate.)

SPOILERS!!! for Dark Horse only people...


















Has anyone noticed that when Hasegawa is serious, you can see her
eyes, but when she's used to comic effect, her glasses are 
translucent?  Oh well, at least they don't spiral.

The dog story was just as good as everyone said it would be...

This markes the beginning, methinks, of the longer story arcs, as
opposed to the one-shots.  This also leads to cliffhangers...

Marller and Urd in a karaoke war was a hoot.

And last, Skuld in her missile launcher, especially with that
"Look, I'm underage!" outfit, just was a compelling image... %-)
