Happiness, Vol. 3 by Shuzo Oshimi

3.0

The ending to the previous volume was intense.

Yuuki was found in time by Okazaki. But not without any hitches.
Gosho's motiation for being close to Makoto seems like an afterthought to me.
SpoilerHe reminds her of her dead brother. The way it was presented was dramatic. Something she said to get him to talk, so it felt off. But on second thought maybe it's deeper than that. I would like it if their relationship remains platonic because of that.


Spoiler-Encounters with Nora always feel super sexual.
-Yuuki sadly killed his mom. I feel like Makoto could have prevented it. It was getting bad, but he himself is new to all this. It was a matter of time one of them did something bad to someone close to them. Yuuki didn't outwardly feel bad about drinking his mom, and I wonder if that's just a front. especially cause they showed a childhood memory right before, and he wants to run away.
-Some official looking dudes just nearly took Makoto away. Kinda another way it reminds me of Tokyo Ghoul, but these types of stories are bound to have similar elements.
-Yuuki saved him this time, and they went to Nora for help. I wonder if they'll run away together. My guess is Makoto won't want to.


Overall though, it's a quick dark read.
