I loved the interaction of the characters in all of this - the ways in which Minekura has Sanzo, Hakkai, Goku and Gojyo play off against each other, and also in the ways in which the opposing Sanzo and Kougaiji teas play against each other. All four of the main protagonists have such interesting backgrounds, and I really admire the ways in which Minekura is revealing them.

I'm finding the layout much easier to follow, even though there are still times when I find my eyes wandering from left-to-right, and even more times when I find the action scenes confusing. I really have to slow down and take my time reading these volumes at the moment; I think, though, that as I progress, my speed will improve.
