MR - Tame by Tailzkip (Chapter 4)

> Storyline: This chapter we get right into meeting 2 new characters and a new location. Thanks to Hisao there has been new information source found involving the terrorist bombing. All looks fine and dandy but soon we get into the seeing that surface appearances are not what's really going on there. After Nekeo jumps in we have a very tear jerking heart-to-heart before things look to be turning around. Asashin makes his return but not to kill Kioshi. A cryptic answer is found and more questions arise with a warning being given by Asashin.

This is a bit darker with a sadder tone with not much, if any, funny bits to lighten it. The plot is thickening and even with the information we learn, more questions rise to the surface. This also seems to display a disregard on Hisao's part when it concerns Kioshi. I'm hopeful he was lax in his double checking the source due to Kioshi having Nekeo. Although he knows Nekeo appears to be lacking in an area or more where normal demons of his, or other, kinds shine at.

> Visual: The detail and design of the new place and characters are wonderful. It love the creepy and eerie feeling over the situation at the start. I really liked the display of emotion and the new casts members part. Asashin's was also wonderfully done with his entering the scene to his expressions, even the subtle ones. The atmosphere stayed tense and suspenseful with great movement of the characters. Blood again was done tastefully which is nice. It wasn't much blood but it was still wonderfully done to show how hard the impact was.

> Characters: Our 2 new cast members are Ryoko Fukui and her slave demon Doku which is a poison type. This pair, at least Ryoko, I don't think will be seen again. She was cold and intimidating. She didn't show remorse or anything after nearly killing an innocent human. She only dropped her guard for a moment before she was brought down and then we learn why. Doku was creepy and his slave form made sense given his speed and poison.

Kioshi and Nekeo both have great bonding during their heart-to-heart in the cell. I loved how we see how they feel about the other and even how Nekeo views himself when compared to Kioshi. It's interesting to hear how demons veiw themselves as compared to us. This was well done and made them feel even closer than before. The emotion in Kioshi's voice was wonderfully done.

Asashin's return was nice and smoothly done. He's just as cool as before and just as focused on completing his mission. He even gives Kioshi and Nekeo insight into Ryoko as well as how to force a demon to do something against their will. His energy about him was spot on and his grin is just as contagious as ever.

> Impact: This made me tear up and even shed a tear. It was full of emotion and seeing Kioshi cry brought me to tears. I love how they bonded this chapter and the way they opened up to one another. It feels genuine and natural between them. I also loved how the air stayed tense throughout until the end. Even then it still retained some of that tension with the mystery thickening. I loved Ryoko's energy and her coldness. She seemed to have a good setup but at the end she knew it couldn't forever last, and this was true when Asashin shows up to complete his mission. I felt bad for Doku given how he wasn't given much choice in the matter for who he killed.

It was another great chapter and whereas the previous one had the epic and exciting fight scenes, this one was more toned down. I enjoyed it and I'm still recommending this series to anyone looking for something new to read. As of this review it is ongoing so check out the description below.
