C'est un énorme tome de transition et d'exposition, donc par définition c'est pas le plus passionnant du lot, mais sa longueur relativement courte joue en sa faveur.

J'aime bien ce que ça tease et je suis content d'avoir *enfin* une vraie collusion entre les univers scientifiques et magiques, mais j'aimerais aussi bien qu'on revienne à des histoires où il se passe des trucs.

Puis bon c'est genre le 26e tome de la série, est-ce que les blagues fanservice on pourrait arrêter à un moment svp. En particulier quand ça implique des mineurs SVP.

This is a volume that is mostly exposition, but somehow it ends up being very interesting. This marks the shift on where the magic side completely outpaces the science side, and also introduces the main villains for the next 8 volumes.

Some say that exposition is boring. But in volume 2 of the New Testament series, it is actually quite interesting. The nature of magic is finally cleared up with some intriguing lectures and revelations, coupled with humorous interactions between Leivinia Birdway and our three protagonists. Known as the Homecoming Arc, this does feel like a welcome home party for Kamijou Touma, especially since it serves as a more comedic volume, much like volume 12 of the first series and the previous New Testament volume. When things start rolling near the end, though, I couldn't wait to start the next volume on the Hawaii Invasion Arc!
