ENTER THE CLONES!

Misaka Mikoto, a.k.a. the "Railgun," is left reeling from the revelation that Academy City's scientists have used the DNA she donated as a child, meant to be used for curing diseases, to create a veritable army of emotionless clones. And worse, these clones have only one purpose in life—to die over and over at the hands of the Accelerator, so that he can achieve ultimate power...

4/5 ⭐️
This one was really entertaining. I watched a few episodes of the anime and enjoyed that so far of what I’ve seen.

[Mehsi]

A very exciting volume, though I will stick to my: I want more slice of life and some more Kuroko x Misaka moments!

Review for Volume 4 to 7: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Nadina]

I read this in two sittings a few days apart from each other which may be why I did not enjoy it as much. It felt a little tedious to me.
The pace, the plot, the artwork, it all felt pretty average.
I will be continuing to read it, and have most of the volumes available at my library checked out, because I do want to know what happens next and where the story will go.

[Amanda Setasha]

I started noticing one thing about this series that really started to bother me.
Most of the characters are female.
The main character is female so she's always fighting female enemies. I think that's incredibly stupid, and I seriously hope it changes in future volumes.

[Joseph Young]

A significantly more combat heavy volume.

[PAUL CARROLL]

a fun Sense of humour

I have always love the Anime series and the MANGA is More funny. IT'S hard NOT to LOL!!! sometimes when I travel on bus.

[ReadingFrog]

1.5 stars.

[Emma]

I miss Misaka's friend in this one.

[Grace Ziehm]

[Hollis Rhodes]

Railgun never lets me down.

[Maia]

... Accelerator, d*^n you. You've been killing all those girls, just so you can get to some stupid level 6?!?! Seriously, dude?!?! And why, oh why did those scientists want to make those clones in the first place? I mean, why Oneesama? I know she's a level 5, but there are six more, so why her? And those four girls, I don't get them. What's their story? Hmm... More to digest.

[Sean O'Hara]

Significantly thicker than previous volumes, Railgun 5 is essentially a single long action sequence. Misaki tries to take out the group that's been cloning her, but they call in another Level 5 and her hench girls. Two hundred some pages of fighting ensue.

[Alba]

Esta niña no piensa, solo actúa, pero para salvar más de 10,000 vidas, creo que esta tomando las decisiones correctas. Un nuevo nivel 5 se presenta y cada vez podemos tener un panorama más completo de la vida oscura y oculta de la ciudad.

[Robert Dufalo]

Not bad, pleanty going on, I don't feel they are just dancing around with the plot. I think this will end up in a 13 book series still.

[Jasmine Rose]

Man, I'd forgotten just how much of an absolute douchebag Accelerator is at the beginning (I've previously seen Index).

[Robert]

It can be stated with sound confidence that I am indeed a fan of the Ace of Tokiwadi! Level 6 shift...pah!
