Just as Kaito and Lucia confess their feelings for each other, Kaito is kidnapped by the diabolical Gackto! A prisoner under the sea, Kaito at last learns of the past he cannot remember and Gackto’s true identity is revealed! The shocking revelations don’t stop there as Lucia and the seven princesses of the seven seas are reunited and the fate of the seas – and the world – is not only in their hands but also in their song!
Here learn the final fates of Lucia and Kaito, Gackto, and Sara and Mitsuki, learn the secret Hippo has been hiding and discover the fate of heroines and villains alike as the end of the first main arc of this series comes to a close. As the climax of the first arc rises, so too does the melodrama with the characters. The relationships between friends, true loves and new family are tested in this final chapter.
Looking back on this first arc now that it has come to a close, the adventures of Lucia and that of her fellow princesses along with true love in the mix, it heartily reminds one of Sailor Moon. It has all the drama, the angst and the action of that quintessential series.
Manga extras include extensive translation notes and a preview of volume 5 in the original Japanese.
IN SUMMARY:
Volume 4 of Pichi Pichi Pitch brings the first story arc to a dramatic and heart warming climax for fans. Readers who love Sailor Moon don’t want to miss out on reading this new manga series. |
