The astral drops are rebelling more and more, and the sorceresses still do not see it. As if that wasn’t enough, the agents figured out that the girls had powers. How will the group of friends deal with these threats from outside and inside?
The sixth volume of the warriors’ adventures is primarily a closure of several parallel threads. The friends are still struggling with the agents ambushing them – this time they have a magically talented man in their ranks who can see the sorceresses despite the veil of invisibility. Repeated skirmishes with representatives of the law become so troublesome that the oracle itself becomes involved in the whole matter. Also, the mission related to the ruler of Arkhanta is still in the sphere of interest of Kandrakar, so the girls once again manage to free Yua. Unfortunately, not everything plays out the way the characters would like it to. A few wrong decisions, one tragedy and a large dose of magic later manage to control the situation and finally close the task ordered by the oracle. The last topic touched upon in the comic is that of the independence of the astral drops. Since the sorceresses had been using them for their needs for a long time (even those not related to missions), the duplicates decided that it was time for a rebellion, as they too deserved a normal life. Of course, Will and the crew had a different opinion, so the hitherto obedient clones escape and get a taste of life on their own.
Time to say goodbye
I’m glad some of the issues were resolved in this volume. The skirmishes with the king of Arkhanta and the increasingly authoritarian behavior of the oracle already felt overly wordy and tiring. Also the plot of the agents, who on the one hand had some grounds for following the girls, on the other – their motivations and the entire organization seemed to me to be thickly sewn and glued to the content. The only issue worth more attention to me is the issue of astral drops, which are, after all, ideal versions of girls. The moral dilemma of whether they should be treated as normal people and be allowed to have separate names and lives is a deep one in my opinion and definitely deserved an expansion. I really liked the aforementioned rebellion and attempt at independence. Will and friends have learned a good lesson here, and I hope
It’s still good
I have now reached a place in history that I was not allowed to know in my teenage years. What is happening around the girls is therefore a new and – as it turns out – still an interesting story for me. Although I no longer identify with the problems of puberty, the threads raised by WITCH are interesting to me and I do not feel that they are infantile. Although the main audience for this series is teenagers, I still enjoy the story and find that sentiment is just one of several elements that make it up.
New volume, new adventure!
Since a lot happened in part six, I’m sure that the next volume will surprise us with a new plot. According to what I wrote earlier – I still recommend the story about the sorceress friends and I look forward to the continuation.
