Dawn of the Arcana 2



Written and illustrated by Rei Toma

From Viz website
tbd
amazon:
Princess Nakaba of Senan and Prince Caesar of Belquat only married each other for the sake of peace between their two warring countries, but things take a surprising turn when Caesar finds himself falling for his strange wife! Caesar tries to get Nakaba to return his feelings, but she maintains that he is her enemy and that she hates him. So when Nakaba has a vision of Caesar getting killed, will she say anything to save him?

Some points:
- Nakaba continued struggling with the new environment and tried to understand Prince Caesar.
- Loki shows some dark sides. He's lonely, though; I can't help but feeling bad for him since it's inevitable that his wish may not be fulfilled.
- The space moves quickly. The next volume isn't coming soon enough ;)
- I can't wait to read more.- There are some unsuccessful attempts to kill Prince Caesar.- The scene of Loki's sitting on the window sill and looking out is so very sad and lonely.

Bottom line, can't wait for volume 3.

Dawn of the Arcana 3



Written and illustrated by Rei Toma

From Viz website
Princess Nakaba of Senan and Prince Caesar of Belquat only married each other for the sake of peace between their two warring countries, so no one expected there to be love between the unlikely couple. Nakaba is starting to warm to Caesar, however, and her attendant Loki doesn’t like this one bit. Are Loki and Caesar destined to be enemies? And how does Nakaba’s power, the Arcana of Time, fit into all this?

Some points:
- continues where volume 2 ends.- it's interesting to see that Caesar is quite jealous.
- And Loki keeps everything to himself.
- Poor Nakaba is torn between Caesar and Loki. I think though at the end, she'd choose Caesar.- A new character showed up. I think the cast will get bigger!
- I like childish-faced Caesar :) and his "I'll do it for you but don't expect me to like it!" attitude.
- I can't wait for volume 4.

Bottom line, story is moving forward nicely.

Dawn of the Arcana 4

From Viz website this volume is not yet added
from back cover
Princess Nakaba of Senan and Prince Caesar of Belquat only married each other for the sake of peace between their two warring countries, so no one expected there to be love between the unlikely couple. But just as feelings start growing between them, Nakaba's power, the Arcana of Time, shows her a vision of a young woman's murder. Has the time come for Nakaba to harness her power to change fate?

Some points:
- Caesar is trying to protect Nakaba and keeping his promise he had made to her. I like Caesar, he does seem to care for Nakaba.
- Akhil is interesting. Don't know what he's scheming.
- Bellinus's sister was introduced. She seemed to be more mature than she looked.
- Rito is too cute :)
-Nakaba is trying to get stronger.
- I'm surprised with the top 4 popular characters results but I like the omake that follows :) so funny.it shows Caesar's childish and competitive side.
Bottom line, the story progresses nicely. I can't wait for the next one.

Dawn of the Arcana 5



Written and illustrated by Rei Toma

From Viz website
Princess Nakaba of Senan and Prince Caesar of Belquat only married each other for the sake of peace between their two warring countries, and no one expected there to be love between the unlikely couple. But as Nakaba and Caesar grow close, political forces threaten to tear them apart- especially when Caesar’s brother Cain leads an attack on a village Nakaba is trying to save! As things heat up, will Caesar be able to protect Nakaba against his own brother?

Some points:
- They continued with their trip and met with the kajins.
- Poor Caesar, nobody believed Nakaba was his wife. He could be insightful regarding the relationship between Nakaba and Loki.- Cain's intention was revealed at the end of the volume, but, I wonder if he hated Caesar enough to kill him.- I enjoy the alter universe shorts at the end, so much fun :)

Bottom line, very good volume.
