Things are starting to heat up in this manga series Arcana. With Volume 4, we find Inez starting to wonder about her feelings for Yulan and Kyrette.

I'm not sure yet what his past is and why he is doing as he is. Kyrette […]

I love the aspect of Inez being able to communicate with animals, especially her loving dog who is more than what he seems. The sense of adventure excites me for future volumes of this book. I know that Inez has quite some growing to do […]
