It is so not okay that I have to wait like two months for the next volume. Yukio has gone off the rails and Rin is in the process of dealing with his newly unleashed powers. Shima is still on a tentative scale of good and evil. The plot is at a crossroads where the line between what is moral and what isn't is not very clear. I can see the main characters having to make really important decisions about where they stand in this war between the Illuminati and the Knights of the True Cross. Both organizations are corrupted in one way or another and I don't see any of them truly fitting snuggly into either side. I think that Yukio seeking power as aggressively as he is is just a reflection of his own insecurities when compared to Rin. I think that the rivalry he feels with Rin is going to be an overarching plot for the rest of the manga and I'm looking forward to it. It will make for a more interesting and heartbreaking story that brings a very human element to their sibling relationship. I really can't wait until the next volume!
