It’s an all out fight as the Bees and Ex-Bees take on a Cabernet and try to prevent it from going to the city.  With only two volumes left, “Tegami Bachi” is getting interesting, action-pack and definitely exciting!   I can’t wait to see how this manga ends!  “Tegami Bachi: Letter Bee vol. 14” is recommended!

What is “Tegami Bachi” about?

From Hiroyuki Asada, the creator of “I’ll” comes the series “Tegami Bachi: Letter Bee”!

Serialized on “Monthly Shonen Jump” back in 2006 and later in “Jump SQ”, “Tegami Bachi: Letter Bee” has been released by Viz Media in the U.S. as part of their Shonen Jump manga signature and in Japan, has since received an anime adaptation and drama CD releases.

The capital of Akatsuki is illuminated by a man-made sun, the farther the sun, the weaker the light and so the Yuusari region is cast in twilight while the Yodaka region survives on moonlight.

Letter Bee Gauche Suede and young Lag Seeing meet in the Yodaka region and as postal workers, there is a letter that Gauche must deliver.  The two become friends and when the journey ends, each depart on their own path.  Gauche hopes to become a Head Bee, while Lag hopes to grow up and become a Letter Bee.

Fast forward and Lag manages to become a Letter Bee but for Gauche, he lost his heart and becomes a marauder known as “Noir”, working for a rebel organization known as Reverse.

In vol. 14 of “Tegami Bachi: Letter Bee”, a massive Gaichuu known as Cabernet shows up in Yuusari and to keep Cabernet out of the city, Lag and friends try to take the Cabernet down to no avail.  Not knowing where its weakpoint is, just when things seemed as they are unable to beat it, they receive help from Zazie, Jiggy Pepper and Miss Aria!

An action-packed manga series feature cool character designs and a captivating plot courtesy of Hiroyuki Asada!

I’m really enjoying how “Tegamic Bachi” has evolved and featured many characters in the process but how it manages to show Lag and friends grow.

With volume 14, it’s a straight up fight as Lag and may others try to take the Cabernet down.  You get to see a lot of Bees (including ex-Bees) taking part in the battle against the Cabernet and in someway it reminds me of American comic books as the X-Men tried to take on the Sentinel or Fantastic Four taking on Galactus.    A huge power entity with no weak spot but with teamwork, perhaps they can work together and take this down.

There are also interesting developments when Lag gets inside of Noir’s memories and discovers a message from his mother.

As for the character designs, Hiroyuki Asada’s art is detailed.  I love the way he is able to sketch out his characters and how much emphasis on their eyes.  This volume is pretty much straight action but it’s more exciting for the fact that many Bees are involved in the fight.

With only two volumes left, “Tegami Bachi” is getting interesting, action-pack and definitely exciting!   “Tegami Bachi: Letter Bee vol. 14” is recommended!
