Description Supposing Books Pandora Hearts, Volume 5 (Pandora Hearts #5)
Really, I can't believe how well Pandora Hearts progresses from volume to volume. I expected the story to start dwindling a little at this point from lack of character development or poor interaction with others, but really everything keeps building up to create a phenomenal plot with meaningful and wonderfully built characters.Although there was some things in this volume that weren't revealed that I would have liked to see, there was plenty of character development and plot structure revealed that kept me from losing too much of my patience. Some of the plot twists were obvious, but others gave me a tingle of excitement and delight, despite the gore involved in the scenes. In the end, the story rounded out nicely to the end of the manga, giving just enough of a cliff hanger to warrant buying the next volume, but just enough information to keep the reader from losing their mind.
Each character seems to develop something unseen in previous volumes. Even the minor characters show bits and pieces of their characteristics that make them fuller and far more believable than even the volume before. Reim Lunettes, who I figured for a minor, unimportant character with a name, makes a much heftier appearance in this volume and shows that he's not just a name and a face. Major characters, such as Oz, even get an interesting twist in their personality. Odd, defining moments for characters emerge from the pages, especially for Gilbert, who gets more and more delightfully heavy as the story goes on.
I can't wait for the next volume to come in (though I've already read the chapters online). To be able to read the next four chapters in the actual manga form with be such a delight.

Oz and Gil's quest to save Alice from the Cheshire Cat and Break's quest to discover what happened a century ago come to a head as we learn more of Alice's origin as well as the residents of the Cat's realm. When we do finally break out of the prison, we learn more about the Pandora organization and the reader discovers a traitor in their midst.A solid volume, though nothing too surprising given the clues in previous volumes. The story is not complete by any stretch, but we're making solidThis volume concludes the "visit" to the cheshire's dimension. (view spoiler)[ So, Alice herself deleted her memories from 100 years ago. Jack (what a beauty you are sir) is linked to Oz, and Vincent, oh Vincent what have you done? (hide spoiler)]The story is still pretty hard to follow at times but as it proceeds it starts making more and more sense...
You know how I said I was going to try to avoid superlatives so that I could use them later? I think I'm going to start using a few now.This volume is stunning!! I'll try to avoid spoilers but I'm not sure I'll be able to do that and make this review coherent.As I was saying, stunning!! The most mind-bending, mind-blowing, just heart-breaking--are there any other hypenated words that apply? Oh, who knows, let's move on to the story.We start with Oz wandering through one of Alice's memories (this
Oh my word...Jun Mochizuki writes like my sister does. Constant twists and drama, and not in a bad way. The story is meant to be that way. One gets too used to shonen manga where you finish a volume and find yourself weeping, "NOTHING HAPPENED!". Not so here! I have been excited by each and every volume, and each and every page. Not to say that sometimes it isn't because it's a funny or cute moment, because there are plenty of these.Ok... getting farther into the story now... The twists are
it really gets better and better from then on

Another 3 star installment. Beautiful artwork as always and I love the over all story. & the characters are simply wonderful.But this volume, like the last, are simply too confusing for me to give more than three stars. Raising lots of questions and having lots of mystery is great. But there's a point where it becomes too much, and were getting dangerous close to that point. Hopefully some questions are actually answered soon. This is definitely a series that needs read back to back. Maybe
