Orphen - The Third Talisman (Vol. 6)

Summary: How do you end a series? Orphen shows us how it's done.
Review: Finally, the final Orphen. But can it live up to expectations? In a word, yes.

Delivering us the final five episodes of the series, this volume is interesting from the very beginning. All five episodes lead into each other to weave the final stages of this fantastic story; there are more plot twists, fascinating character revelations, and the pacing is just right. There isn't much comedy here, but these last episodes work better without it.

The story is wrapped up excellently, and probably the only disappointing thing is that Leki didn't end up having any importance at all. Ah well, there's still Orphen Revenge.

Although the nudity in the final episode was puzzling and not needed, the last episode delivers everything I was hoping for. Most notably, half the episode is dedicated to showing us the aftermath of the whole story, making it an extremely satisfying ending. This is a better ending than a lot of other titles, and yet they decided to make a sequel series, ironically.

Overall, I highly recommend this series, and I look forward to the next series, Orphen Revenge! :)
