I just finished volume 6, what a ride it was:

Spoiler:

These are no joke spoilers so please dont read them to you are finished with volume 6 as well.

Spoiler:

Man, I was shocked when コルベール died. I really didnt expect him not to make it until the very last second. He was a really cool character, despite the horrible things he did in the past. Probably the only person in the whole storyline who seemed capable of inventing things and making their world a better place, i had hopes for him. Reading that letter's hopeful and optimistic contents after he was dead was the first time this series has me all teary eyed :P
EDIT: okay probably not the first time

The irony of having the very person that アニエス has been hunting her whole life, the person who incinerated her family, her village, and everything she cared about, die while saving her life... It wouldnt have touched me if it was just some newly introduced character, but having that very person be someone who has had a strong role in the story since volume one... Yamagichi-sensei seems to have really thought this out well...

still i would rather that he lived

Also, I was surprised how weak Oorudo Osuman was. I had strangely expected him to have some formidable combat prowess, but I guess that wasnt to be the case.

Ah, I read sushis-san's comment here:

....So that's what it's like to "summarize" without holding back... wait, I practically translated the last 5 pages..... orz
And that was only half a volume... orz

Hehe, yes that was quite a post.
More of a translation than a review, so the only thing I can say is 同感
