Review:
Peony has been hired to cater a party held by a semi-deity space empress. Great news! Unfortunately, while she's handling the desserts, her former Space Battle Lunchtime rival, Melonhead, is handling the meal. But they're both professionals. Surely they can handle one party without problems?
Then the space empress falls over dead while eating one of Peony's desserts...and for some reason Neptunia is the one instantly considered a suspect by the empress's guard (who happens to be Neptunia's sister). Peony somehow has to find the true culprit in order to prove her girlfriend's innocence and save her catering business.
I'll start by saying that a person could easily read the first couple volumes of this series and then stop there. There's a complete story there, as well as a reasonably satisfying ending. Even so, I'm glad I took the time to hunt down and read this volume. It was great to see Peony and Nep again. This volume had so many "Nep is head over heels for Peony" moments - my joy, it was great. I love it when badass fighter romantic leads are stupidly in love with their less badass partners.
All in all, this was a delightful read.
Additional note: I really like the space empress's design.
Extras:
Examples of Riess's color scripts, a few concept sketches, and a couple cute full-page illustrations of Peony and Neptunia.
