During my review of the last volume, I talked about how I was enjoying that the stories never neatly wrapped up, nor did Urasawa use traditional cliffhangers.

This volume changes that up as it ends with a textbook cliffhanger, as a major character learns something about themselves that will change the entire direction of the story. We also see the return of a character who I worried was written out (not killed, I just thought their use to the story might be over) in the previous volume.

If you like a long-form story that continues to surprise, even ten volumes in, I highly suggest picking this up, even if you're not usually "a manga person".

  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
i have the slightest idea as to who friend really is. urasawa did a great job in putting some clues to friend’s identity in the fragments of some flashbacks.

A very fast read after the cliffhanger from the previous volume. Now, how should one interpret the new prophecy if not take it literally? And it ended with another revelation that I thought was no secret but I come to realize that it actually is!

El arco de Koizumi continúa y por eso es de mis volúmenes favorito, porque Koizumi es superchistosa.

Además, por fin sabemos un poco más de Amigo y tiene un momento que entra en la heartwarming list.
