The Story
After everything that happened, we end up with a pretty relaxed volume of Fly Me to the Moon. The volume primarily centers on NASA and Tsukasa exploring more of their married life, with a focus on intimacy. It all started when Nasa had to help a friend out when their business ended up on the receiving end of a cyberattack. He was gone for a long time, so Shiori ended up visiting Tsukasa, bringing with her a mysterious pouch. When Nasa returns, Tsukasa informs him that Kaname left the bath on, so they end up bathing together… this time with the lights on. Tsukasa wants to wash Nasa’s back, but while she’s in a bathing suit, he’s buck naked. She sees everything, and it prompts her to want to return the favor… just a little.
Once the steaminess gets worked out of them, they open the bag to find some ancient coins and trinkets, all of which are items Tsukasa kept on her 1,400-year journey. They are mainly from people she had an impact on, both positive and negative. She didn’t care much for the items in there, so that’s on the back burner for now.
Lastly, the girls at the school’s video club want to make another movie. When their last one got halted at the editing phase, they decided to do something more practical… like a love documentary! There is only one teeny tiny problem… they’re at an all-girls school, and there’s only one couple that they know of that they can film! I think you know where we’re going with this!
Characters
With Shiori, there wasn’t much in the way of development for her as a character, but she brought the news that brings to a close one of our previous story arcs. I’ll leave it for you to discover, but the sack of trinkets she brought with her stirs up some unsettling memories in Tsukasa. It also plays into Tsukasa wondering if there are any descendants of the people she gave blood to in this day and age. She even notes that some of the families got completely slaughtered back in the day, so their lineages could have ended. These thoughts weigh heavily on her mind… about as heavy as showing some skin to her husband!
Kaname’s mother received some development. This one came from out of left field because we hardly see her within the series. However, despite her lengthy absence, what she brought to the development table was rather bountiful and heavy… but not in a good way. Surprisingly, the news she brought wasn’t as ill-received as she thought it would have… at least at first. Some gears were turning in Kaname’s head that made her think of things a bit… and this leads to Tsukasa telling Nasa something about Kaname that surprises even him!
Lastly, we got a pretty quick but interesting update with Kaguya. She’s talking to Mishio about the love documentary, when Mishio suggests something… something that catches Kaguya completely off guard! It’s quite a nice cliffhanger to end the volume on, so we’ll have to wait and see what Kaguya thinks of what was said!
Final Thoughts
As I said, this was a pretty relaxed volume of Fly Me to the Moon. The first half’s focus was on Nasa and Tsukasa’s marriage and introducing a bit more intimacy into it. Then, the thought and theme of marriage played into the second half’s biggest plot. I like how the story shifted gears, all while keeping the same theme intact, while presenting it in a completely different way. That was a nice touch, but then it shifts focus, yet again, while keeping the marriage theme going with the video club’s proposal of doing a love documentary.
There wasn’t anything Earth-shattering going on in this volume, but something like that wasn’t needed. Even though the majority of the volume was quite relaxed, there was a very small section at the beginning of a chapter that did take us away from everything and developed the main overall plot of the series a bit more. We did get to see a very short scene with THE Kaguya herself as she posed a question and wondered about the state of our world. It was quite interesting to see that just jammed into the middle of everything else, and even if it lasted for just a couple of pages, it was a nice reminder of the bigger mysteries yet to be resolved.
All in all, a pretty relaxing, yet charming volume that looks to continue into Volume 31.
