Okay, now this was exciting.
Very gradually the character of Shiro is getting fleshed out and I loved how the author paced it. It makes the reader want to find out who Shiro is, who the Red Man is, and what purpose did the old man (who got beheaded) served in the laboratory, among all things.
A lot of people were saying, "Ganta is a dick, he still doesn't understand Shiro" and that's how great the narration is. Every reader knows what's happening instead of the main character. That plot development is just one of my best favorites.

Why are you doing this to us ?
Are we supposed to love her or hate her, she is just helping them out and being the sweetest creature on earth!
But she is the wretched egg
I can't make up my mind but i guess i don't have to yet
I am glad so many people died this issue (2023 update : What the fuck!) because i can't memorize their names anyway (Sounds like me alright!), i will read volume 5 right away maybe the names will stay in my head finally.

Eh. Very predictable in many ways but it's still pretty good.

~3.5-4/5
I keep saying this, but everyone is psychotic in this series. Pretty much everyone. And every time we meet a new characters, it’s likely they’re also psychotic.
We met a few new characters at the end of the last volume, and in this one we meet their gang, just before their plan to expose Wonderland takes off. And, of course, this includes some deaths and psychotic people.
I don’t know why it’s still surprising me how horrific this series is. The deaths are not hidden from the viewer, or downplayed. They’re horrible. I should be more cynical about it at this point, shouldn’t I?
Anyway, they’re horrible. The characters learn more horrors of Deadman Wonderland, but nothing is really revealed to the outside. Two of the new characters have a story I’m at least a little intrigued by. Ganta, though, has a fight with Shiro, and I feel bad for her. He's kind of a jerk, even if he does have his reason. The betrayal from the last volume has been replaced by me just feeling bad for and wary of her. Because there’s more to what’s going on with her than I think even she knows. And I don’t like it.
I just like Shiro, and I want her to be happy.
The cliffhanger is a bit bad. I’m excited to see what happens next.
