Chapter 30

Sea of Stars 5 (ホシノウミ 5, Hoshi no umi 5) is the 30th chapter of the Yozakura Quartet manga.

Summary
Zakuro states how both she and Kotoha as hanyou are monsters which Kotoha denies. Zakuro tells Kotoha she has the smell of blood on her causing Kotoha to remember the time she fell and start to lash out. Zakuro taunts Kotoha to attack but Hime interrupts her, telling her to create her a weapon. Kotoha creates a trident for Hime which Hime chastises Kotoha, stating she did not need something so dangerous. Hime gives Kotoha a speech about not killing since that is what they did for her. Kotoha agrees while sticking her middle finger out to Zakuro, prompting Hime telling to stop.

As Juli, Oyassan and Okami-san speed towards Hime’s location in Juli’s ambulance, an earth golem and Hime are hurled over them. Juli sees Kotoha and calls out to her waving two defibrillators in the air. As Kotoha continues fighting the golems, Hime rest on top of the ambulance asking Kyosuke for food.

Kotoha creates several large blocks crushing all of Zakuro’s golems and then creates rope to bind her. Zakuro reminds Kotoha that she working with Enjin who uses falling on Zakuro to give her more power. Zakuro emerges from the beam of light riding a golem several times larger than the previous ones. The golem grabs Kotoha which she is easily able to break free from but finds herself unable to move. Kotoha remembers Juli’s defibrillators and comes to a realization. Kotoha moves to a nearby truss bridge. Zakuro follows with her golem and shoots a projectile at Kotoha which she kicks away with ease. Kotoha explains that both her and the golem rely on a current moving throughout the body to move but states that is also the weakness. Kotoha calls out to Juli who uses the defibrillators on the bridge catching Zakuro and the golem with the electric current. Kotoha fires a barrage of projectiles at the golem and falls off the bridge but is caught by Hime.
