Book Review: Daddy's Gambit
Summary: 5 Stars
In the last volume, we saw what Fai was willing to do for his ragtag family. Now it's Kurogane's turn with Fai lying minutes away from death, the clone running rampant heaven knows where with half of Fai's magic, and Yuko confirming that there is a way to save Fai - but with the look on her face usually reserved for when she's about to tell either Watanuki or Domeki something they're not going to like hearing and she's not going to relish telling. The only bright spot of the situation is Sakura's rescue by AU Subaru Sumeragi - apparently still gentle and compassionate for all that he's a vampire in Acid Tokyo - allowing Kurogane to focus on the most immediate of several crises at hand.
Kurogane dislikes some aspects of Fai's personality, but as his attempts to get Fai to spill the weight on his soul to him if not necessarily the kids indicates, he certainly doesn't hate him as much as he makes out or perhaps would even like to. As the volume opens, Fai seems to be at peace with dying to stop the clone. But Kurogane - panicked at the thought that they might actually lose Fai, furious at Fai for giving up, and probably feeling slightly lower than pond scum being that their last full conversation basically turned into a one-sided fight on his part - isn't about to let him give up that easily. So it is that Kurogane ignores Fai's express and lucid wishes and makes a decision for both of them involving help from the vampire twins that will change Fai - and their relationship with eachother - forever.
It's a decision which will likely prompt much debate among fans. Fai's refusal to take into account how the kids would feel if they lost him could be considered selfish; but the price for keeping him alive could very likely be worse than death - especially for someone who clearly does not take guilt well at all.
The issue between the two men, however, might be small peanuts compared to Fai's fury when he regains consciousness and finds out that Kurogane - knowing that Sakura might never forgive herself otherwise - has allowed their foster daughter, guilt-stricken that she wasn't there for Fai at the moment that everything changed for all of them, to undertake a dangerous mission to complete the payment for Fai's life...
Another beautiful, emotional volume.
