tawfek's review against another edition

5.0

Wow so they actually didn't succeed in taking down friend, and now he controls japan or even the world!
Now i understand why would this take 22 volumes lol
I love Kanna she is just so beautiful no matter the age, and looks like the new group to take down friend will be led by her, and am guessing the two mangakas will join that group.
Even though i loved his style, i was confused why the prolonged look at kanna's future, but now its all evident this doesn't end in the year 2000!
I feel kenji is not dead, they are hinting at that possibility actually, so there might be hope for him.
Looking at yukiji it feels like the group lost their spirits its just gone, and what about the celebration of them saving the world, now that we know friend is alive that can't be true right?
I feel like i came out of this volume with more questions than i had last volume! and this is a good thing for a manga this big and me being at the beginning of it.

Kenji and his friends regroup as Dec 31st 2000 approaches. Giving his friends option to step back and survive they all decide to go with the Kenji. And then deadly night begins, giant mechanical creature shows up and starts demolishing Tokyo.

Art as always is excellent.

Highly recommended.
