Title: Black Cat Volume 14: Alliance
Series: Black Cat - 14th volume
Author: Kentaro Yabuki
Read Before: no
My Comments: An excellent volume that furthers the storyline quite a bit. Carries on directly after the thirteenth volume with the fight against River, it didn't disappoint, and the idea of a Sweeper Alliance is okay (not what I would have preferred). The chapters when Train and Eve are trying to find out the meeting place by playing a game was kinda lame, but the big thing was that Glin turns out to be Number X Shao Lee, I didn't see that one coming (although he still looks like a girl to me). Then it slows down again as they all gather up at the meeting, but the final two chapters or so were excellent. I was shocked that some of the Sweepers died such gruesome deaths even before they set foot onto the island. It has a good ending, where they are all separated on the island. I was just surprised at the deaths in this one.
Rating: 7.5/10
