Battle Angel Alita: Mars Chronicle, Vol. 8 by Yukito Kishiro-145 pages
The story of Yoko (Alita) and Erica continues in the latest volume. Yoko and Erica have been taken in by Keun the Kaufmann. Keun is looking for information on NNN and the hero's journal. Alliances shift and decisions are made that will affect character's lives in the future. This series is a prequel to to the original Battle Angel Alita series. This volume ends with a big cliffhanger that has me anticipating the next volume, if and when it is released. I enjoyed reading this, though not quite as much as the previous volumes, and I rate it 3 stars.
