Chi’s Sweet Home Volume 5 by Konami
Kanata Paperback
Book: 160
pages
Chi’s Sweet Home Volume 5 was a
surprise. The previous 4 books in the series were a lot
thicker but his one was only 160 pages which felt like am I missing
something? Are there more than one book of Volume
5? And didn’t Volume 4 end with Chi moving to
France? No mention of France in this
book. It also is like Chi has amnesia because she doesn’t
recognize her old neighborhood stomping grounds nor her old friends from her
neighborhood and around the park. They know
Chi. I of course love all the stories about Chi’s adventures
but I feel like Alice down the rabbit hole reading this one, did somebody slip
me something to make me grow small so small that I am missing something
here? Did Chi come back home to Japan and in the time
she was away forgot her old buddies? What
happened? And why is this volume so much smaller?
It is not explained why Chi doesn’t recognize Auntie and only toward the end
does she recognize her dear friend, Blackie. I’m hoping I find the
answers to these questions along the way but it is really confusing and unclear
as to what has happened. Is this the dream sequence while she
is flying to France or what? Did they decide not to go?
I love Chi, so, I would really like to know the answers to the questions this
Volume poses. I did thoroughly enjoy the book however, and I
love Chi more and more but if I could ask the author, I would seriously like to
know what happened. The search is on. I will let
you know what I come up with when I get the next Volume and complete
it. Highly recommend the story for all
ages. Highly curious as to what the author is about in this
one. Maybe the clue is that Chi is laying down and the reader
is seeing her from above but it also gives the impression of her being upside
down, which is how I feel coming away from this one. Good
stories just trying to figure out where the story picks up from the end of
Volume 4. Having a, “huh?” moment here.
