Description: 2nd generation story in which Kuno's son
gets carried away with the old rivalry, leading to serious
consequences. Meanwhile Jyusenkyo "wakes up" and begins
to summon those who bear its mark.
Comments: My major problem with this story is the knee-jerk
no mercy for rapists reaction that is deeply ingrained in
me. Shutarou had better get used to being a girl because
he's getting off lightly with that.
Heh. Not sure how to respond to this; I stopped reading Donaldson's
Thomas Covenant series because of the rape scene in the first volume.
About all I can say is that no person, no matter how heinous their
crime, is beyond redemption. However, I have yet to see a case where
redemption came cheap or easy. I assure you, Shutarou's problems are
just beginning. ^_^
Thanks for the comments. It's always fun to get on the soapbox for a
bit.
