The series switched gears here. Chapters were longer, allowing the characters and stories to develop. Mr. Villain didn’t get as much time off as usual, so not as much panda action, but we saw how he is at work. It seems his underlings like him and worry about him. And there was a small surprise about his tail too. I’d been wondering about it, as he doesn’t have it on his days off. Rangers had some family fun, but Mr. Villain and Red only met briefly. All in all, a good volume with great stories that left me feel happy and warm like always. Now the long wait for the next volume.

Perfect amount of Pandas in this volume. I also love the siblings from the organization they are super silly.

[Ken Yuen · Rating 5 out of 5]

The first chapter about carrying too many grocery bags is so relatable

[Courtney K · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loving the side characters as well, and the robot cat!

[Christine Valora · Rating 4 out of 5]

The fifth volume of Mr. Villain is a delight as we see more bad-guy-is-good content as he explores Earth. My particular favorite episodes were “What I Want” and Cheerleader from “Mr. Villain and Wonderful Days.” “What I Want“ is a delightful episodic comic focusing on the Rangers (which I love seeing more of) and a sort of parallel juxtaposition with Mr. Villain. I also enjoyed the new little creature (calling it a Starry Cheerleader) in “Wonderful Days” hope to see more of it along with C-018 in the next volume in March 2026 (US release).

Still so good! I did find a couple of chapters in this volume a little repetitive, short and kind of boring, but still a feel good read full of silly, sweet moments, and lots of pandas of course! Mr Villain is still the best, and I love the Black Ranger too!

[Brenda Lower · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love this series. I always look forward to the next one.

[Tuva Hellqvist · Rating 5 out of 5]

tror inte jag kunde läsa hela volymen, några kapitel saknades :/

[Pamela · Rating 3 out of 5]

Least favourite so far. Not sure what it was about this one but just seemed like a lot less laughs than the previous ones… also the story with the brother and sister sharing a body was just confusing.

This had a lot more time spent at his actual (evil alien) work too, and I like when the focus is on the softer things he does on his day off.

[Emma (littledollreads) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another fun volume. We got to meet a couple of new characters from the Vilians side of things and I think they are all going to be super fun. Aside from that there were a lot of really short encounters in this volume that were fun but I don't have much to say about them.

[Jess | jadecanread · Rating 3 out of 5]

The rangers' relationships makes my cold, dead heart beat.

Everything else was alright. Love all the pandas, but this was a touch aimless. (Though that's the whole point of this series ahah). Mr. Villain's subordinates dotting on him though? So sweet.

[Natalie S · Rating 3 out of 5]

Quick and cute, as always.

[Carrie · Rating 3 out of 5]

This series is just so cute and fluffy. Every volume makes me smile.

"I'm glad I had the words... since now I can thank you."

This is such a feel-good volume, it really makes my heart warm. Some new side characters in the Evil League are introduced that makes it feel a bit fuller, which in turn helps them keep up with the rapidly-expanding cast of the Rangers and their staff. Every single character introduced in this series are all complete charmers who you can't help but love!

Back when I first read this volume in 2024, the chapter about Sora and Mugi trying their luck at gachapon stuck with me to the point where it was one of the only chapters that I very distinctly remembered from this series. Safe to stay, I still enjoyed it as much the second time around!!

The side adventure with Rooney, Trigger, and Meurah also made me wish and hope that there will be more chapters in the feature that only feature Evil League side characters -- not because I don't love The General, of course he's my favorite, but that evil little peanut gallery are just so entertaining and cute to watch! Especially the duo of Rooney and Trigger, who make a perfect "genius ragebaiter" and "easily ragebaited" duo! Through Meurah in the mix and it's just chaos!

However, the chapter about new brother-sister duo inhabiting the same body, Ul and Ashe, make for a perfect cherry on top of this volume. I love these moments where, amid all of the slice of life and shenanigans, we're reminded of the grave reality that The General is actually fighting for: the safety of probably millions of lives back on his home planet. His people need a place to live and seem to all be in cryogenic sleep while they wait for the Evil League to take over Earth. It makes this villainous organization seem painfully sympathetic. Ul and Ashe are great additions to the cast and I really can't wait to see more of them, they're so charming.

My favorite mini-chapter was the one where Blue gives Black a back massage, that was just adorable adoptive father-son shenanigans. I can't get enough of the found family of it all! And once again, the art is just breathtaking. Especially the shading on that chapter cover, all the wrinkles in his coat and in the plastic bags he's holding. It's just beyond gorgeous!

Looove the color plate in this one again. I've bought a few prints and things but would gladly pick up an art book at some point, or just find more of the color plates that I can plaster over my walls...if only I had room for that...

This is such a wonderful series. I wouldn't say this volume is as great as the last one - there weren't really enough of the Rangers, although I adored the final chapter with Red seeing the General being kind to an old lady on the train.

There was a lot more of the Evil League this time, with new characters being introduced, and a surprise reveal that the General's tail and shoulder claws are actually just some other creature in a symbiotic relationship with him??? That's honestly kind of weird...so he's not actually transforming at all when he's off work, he's just removing his cloak and his coworker. That's uh. Strange.

The cherry blossom girl and wooden bench boy chapter also wasn't as great as the others have been - feels a bit like those ones are running out of material. But it's still overall a really sweet book and I love this series a lot. It does feel like there could be more of an actual plot forming on the Evil League side, although I don't know if that's likely. The bit about "a new leader shaking up the Evil League" on the back cover wasn't true because that didn't happen at all?? Confusing.

[Gabriella · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another fun volume. It started off with a very relatable chapter about carrying too many groceries bags up the stairs, I felt the General’s relief when he finally reached the top. hehe. We got more content of him being in his working environment; showing just how much he’s cared for by his colleagues. I liked the introduction of the new characters Ul and Ashe, it was a nice twist to find that theres one sibling trapped inside the others body. Also, we got a bit of a surprise reveal regarding the General’s tail and the claws on his shoulders—with them essentially being separate from his being was another fun twist, especially after wondering about it for the past few volumes and questioning how he hid them on his days off.

[Laura A. Grace · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another wonderfully fun volume!

I really appreciated the "change" in this volume in that it seemed a large part of it took place as our villain's job rather than at home or somewhere randomly chilling on his day off. I think it made this world seem even larger than what it is because now we see it's not just him who is "fighting" Earth, but like the blurb has said, an entire Evil League.

Not only that, I liked the new characters that we met and that the cute "pet robot" is still active in the story too!

Lots of happy moments that made me smile and laugh and definitely still enjoy this series!

[Ryofire · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another adorable and relatable volume in this wonderful series. General's struggles with daily life problems are so familiar (e.g., his struggle with carrying groceries like distances). The various relationships he has with the widening cast are also a lot of fun, particularly how much his coworkers like and care for him. I also love the constant focus on maintaining proper work-life balance and not doing more than you're paid for, or giving your higher-ups special favors or something.

Morikawa's art continues to be so gorgeous and cute, and it's a delight to see.

Looking forward to volume 6!

[The Book Dragon · Rating 4 out of 5]

New enemies have appeared! The dreaded... stairs and gacha machine! But that's not going to keep us down for long because we have pandas and steamed buns and days off.

But the majority of this one is introducing two three new characters from Mr. Villain's team: Meurah, Ul, and Ashe. Meurah is the master torturer. Ul is the doctor. And Ashe is a fighter. I need more of this, because I wanna know more about the home world.

[Claire · Rating 4 out of 5]

This series just gets better and better! I love the detail about his tail. I didn't even realise. Silly. I love C-018 (robot kitty), so adorable. Again, I love the story about the trees, the cherry blossom mudballs are cute. I had a chuckle at the end, once again a truce has been called... these guys are never going to battle and I think I'm ok with that. And I feel all their pain trying to get a specific gachapon.

[Jennifer]

Still a cute series. It was especially funny that the toy machine kept giving each group the opposite character than they wanted 😆also, his tail, and the hands onhis shoulders belonging to separate creatures was unexpected. Here his subordinates were worried it was swishing out of anger, but then were flabbergasted that it isn’t part of him…it swishes out of boredom.

[Alessandra Ceravolo · Rating 4 out of 5]

La copertina mi fa impazzire e la sotto copertina è veramente dolce. La storia è divertente, dolce, riflessiva e con l’introduzione di nuovi personaggi interessanti. Sicuramente tutti i cattivi in realtà non lo sono affatto e tra di loro sono molto gentili. L’ossessione di Mr Villain con i panda è sempre più intensa e i suoi subordinati si preoccupano e pensano sempre a lui.

[Chantal · Rating 5 out of 5]

I will forever love this series and how light hearted it is. They always find a way to make me smile and also reminds you to enjoy your time off and take breaks. Something I struggle with not feeling guilty to rest and enjoy my days off. I will be sad when this series comes to an end, but when it does I will definitely be buying them.

[Sandra · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wir haben den Anime überholt YAY :D umso spannender wirds jetzt - immer noch super süß und witzig. Wir bekommen ein paar neue Charaktere zu sehen, vorallem von Generals Seite :333 die sehr interessant sind (*hust* FoltermeisterIN *uhi*). Und wieder süße Seiten von den Rangers. Ich liebe den Manga einfach,w eil er einfach schön und happy macht.

[Mindy · Rating 5 out of 5]

There were some absolutely precious episodes in this volume!

I feel like, at this point, his subordinates are scarier than he is. Heck, even the twin ranger kids seem more vicious! But still, I truly do love Mr Villain. I wonder if we'll ever see him fight the rangers... Hmmm...

[Ady Weasley · Rating 4 out of 5]

A partir de este tomo vemos más historia de lo que fue animado y por lo tanto conocemos a otros personajes, lo cual es grato.

Me encanta cuando salen los niños de los árboles

Curioso que siempre se encuentre a Rojo

[Rae · Rating 4 out of 5]

could i differentiate between each book if they didn't have a different color cover? probably not, but that's okay. this knows what it is and it knows its lane. I actually have been really enjoying the rangers side plot

[Regalia Lenzi · Rating 2 out of 5]

Poznajemy dwie nowe postacie, przez swoją szablonowość i typowość, zupełnie nieinteresujące. Dziwna romans drzew i fascynacja błotem trwa, a Złol jest jak na złola zbyt miły. Ta organizacja jest bliższa kółkowi różańcowemu niż grupie eksterminującej ludzkość.
