I enjoyed this volume a lot more than the first one; there was still a lot of running around and screaming (do Japanese children do nothing else?!) but the story moved along quite quickly, especially after the revelation of what actually happened to the elementary school. Lots of people (mainly adults) die, but the introduction of Yu made everything better; he's the cutest toddler on a trike I ever saw. I want! Loved the ending; reminded me of what I just saw in an episode of Stranger Things: a grieving mother and her missing son reconnecting via a displaced phone call.

This volume contains more gruesome violence and more adults losing their shit. It also contains kids working together to keep each other alive, ponderings on what happened/where they are, and a cliff-hanger that seems to suggest a phone call across dimensions (?).

Yep, this series continues to be captivating in its story telling. I still absolutely hate all of the characters, yet the author uses these horrible people to the story's advantage. Much like the first volume, I was entirely sucked in to the reading experience. I feel like this manga series will stick with me for a while. Hopefully I can find the next volume somewhere, because I need to know what happens next.
