Frau Faust, v.5 by Kore Yamazaki

Frau Faust, v. 5 by Kore Yamazaki - 176 pages

Johanna's plans to reunite / rescue Mephistopheles comes to fruition.  Who will survive this final battle?

This is the final volume in Frau Faust.  I really enjoyed the series.  My only complaint is that it could have been stretched out a little more.  The story was very quick moving and could have used a few quiet pauses to make more impact.  Still, I would definitely recommend this series.

After defeating Lea, Johanna and Marion seek out Sarah to help restore Nico's body.

This volume revealed a little more of Johanna's past.  It also revealed more hidden secrets.  A great addition to the series.

Marion follows Johanna to the town where she hopes to find Mephisto's leg.  However, something sinister is going on at the church there.  Somehow both Marion and inquisitor Vito get caught up in the trouble.  Now Johanna and inquisitor Lorenzo must work together to save them both.

I'm starting to really enjoy this series.  It seems to be hitting it stride.  This volumes introduces more characters who are interesting while making you wonder more about the characters introduced in the first volume.

Marion is saved by Johanna from a life of crime in exchange for a favor.  This starts his adventures with Frau Faust, the eccentric scholar who made the infamous deal with the devil Mephisto.

While this book didn't immediately capture my attention, it was interesting enough to make me pick up the next volume.  It was odd in that the final chapter in the book was a stand-alone story featuring completely different characters.  There was no indication if it was supposed to fit into the story line of Frau Faust in some way.
