REVIEW: The Earl & the Fairy (manga, vol. 3) story & art by Ayuko, original concept by Mizue Tani, translated by John Werry

The Earl & the Fairy is a fantasy romance series based on a Japanese light novel series. I bought my copy of this volume used.

Review:

Lydia is now officially Edgar's fairy doctor. Lydia and Edgar's help is enlisted to find a missing aristocratic girl, Doris Walpole. Her disappearance seems to be linked to her cousin, Rosalie, and something called a "fairy egg." Also, the girls and the egg are somehow connected to Edgar being kidnapped and sold into slavery when he was a child.

The mystery was relatively interesting, and I enjoyed Edgar's flirtiness (he keeps wanting Lydia to be jealous of the time he spends with other girls). Also, Nico was great as usual.

This is still only so-so for me - not bad, but not particularly memorable. 

Extras:

A brief "story thus far" section with character profiles, three humorous four-panel comics, and a short note from the author.
