Masih belum terungkap apa yang sebenarnya terjadi di malam tahun baru. "friend" belum tumbang, Kanna harus mendapati situasi genting dan bapak-bapak badass kembali.

This is still a fun, interesting story about the sprouting of a cult and how it turned into a political movement that swept the world. This is still a fun Team of Disparate People Across Japan Must Unite To Save The World. While I'm still annoyed about the time jump in volume, my main problem with this book isn't the fresher cast of characters. I like many of them. What i'm not loving is that we get another self-insert in the future storyline.

In the first five volumes there is the storyline that this is a story about a kid who writes a story about an apocalypse and then that story comes true and he and his friends must remember how the story played out so that they can prevent an apocalypse. They seem to have failed to do so.

Here in volume six, we're introduced to a manga artist who's trying to make sense of the post-apocalyptic world where his artform is strictly regulated to the point of being nearly outlawed, so he's been sentenced to lie imprisonment on a prison boat where looks ... a monster. A monster who will totally not end up being pivotal to the story, of course.

It's just a bit much for me. But i"m going to continue reading until they at least explain what happened off-screen during the timejump in volume five.

3.5, prison storyline is the highlight & kanna’s escapade from the police is engaging enough. shogun has aged well
