[hotsake (André Troesch) · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book and the series as a whole left me satisfied.

[Derek · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the final and concluding volume to the Full Metal Panic! storyline and the saga of Sosuke and Kaname.

As Mithril is about to execute a final last-ditch effort against Amalgam, they find out that Amalgam has also captured a military base on the opposite side of the world: there they have stolen several nuclear warheads and have set them to detonate at the same time as Leonardo's final plan comes into fruition. An already terribly weakened, under-supplied and under-staffed TDD is forced to divide its forces in order to try and combat both threats - both missions essentially become suicide missions.

Here we see the final showdown between Sosuke and Leonardo, and Sosuke having to face the only man that Sosuke ever thought of as a father, in order to decide the fate of Kaname and the entire world - both past, present, and future.

A wonderful end to a great story

So intense to the very last! What a great way to cap off a wonderful series filled with great characters, intense drama, comedic hi-jinx, military know how, cutting edge mechs, and top it all of with witty repartee. I am sad to be finished at the same time as feeling accomplished and pleased with the ending. I couldn't be happier for our two protagonists as well. They've been through a lot a deserve to be happy.

No me esperaba esté final porque es que pasó tanto el pobre de Sousuke que yo dije que él nunca sería feliz. Hubo muchas lagunas a mí entender pero me gustó. Además de que el autor trato de hacer la novela de chico conoce chica creo que se desvío demasiado del camino era muy militar y términos que no muchos dominaban además de los creados por él, no sé si fue la traducción que no explicaba pero me dió mucho trabaja entender está saga; sin embargo, agradezco que le diera un respiro muy bien merecido a Sousuke.

This is the last book for the main storyline. Besides for the fast paced action scenes, what are the possibility of saving our female protagonist? Can the male protagonist protect her? And can both of our protagonist still remember the oath, which is....?

I really loved it..
But I would love it if Leonard have lived and Tessa would take care of him.
Also..
Sir Shoji.
Can you make an after story of Kana-chan and Sagara-kun? Looking forward to it..
By the way, I really loved how after so many books..
You were able to make them kiss at the ending..
