Rating:
Summary: Great!
Review: i got this volume early. there is 4 eps on it and i will review them by group

19 and 20 conclude taiki's story and he finally chooses a king and metamorphoes. he believes that he chose the wrong king.. and mis fortunes will take place, but king en and enki try a test on him that proves he made the right choice.

episode 21 is another interlude episode... and basically has enki tell us some information on the ruler and kirin for all 12 kingdoms and then he recaps this last story and puts closure on what happened to the taiki.

episode 22 is another stand alone episode and basically revolves around rakuchun's time at school. queen kei is in it and they show her meet the former king of ko's kids.. one of them tells her that asano is alive somewhere. this ending the dvd. the next volume.. which wont be out until june :( will start a new book. a good dvd!

Summary: makes you wonder when the story of taiki will be continued..
Review: the first two episodes on this dvd bring the story of taiki to something of a conclusion, you at least kinda understand why he's back in japan. however, there are still alot of questions surrounding his reappearance (mostly, why he can't remember a thing). this and some of the somments made by enki in the third episode make it sound as though there is something more to this story. the next dvd, however, will concern nakajima entirely.

the third episode is also a nice episode in that enki gives a bit of background information on each of the twelve kingdoms and their respective rulers and kirin.

the last episode is another rakushun and nakajima correspondence episode. we get to see rakushun at school and see the emerging problems that nakajima will continue to have through the next dvds.

it's a nice interlude in a way. the coming story of nakajima and the two other girls is quite involved, not as sweet and cute like taiki's story. i really wish there was more to taiki's story, it's difficult to stop right when you feel he's about to remember everything... but, again, it does feel like this story was a necessary prelude to his part in a larger story. he is a kokki after all and that's supposed to portend great things.
