Dragon Eye: Volume 4 is another exceptional manga book filled with some drama and a ton of action. Even after only four books, I already know that Dragon Eye is going to end up as one of my favorite manga series that Del Rey publishes.
I absolutely love all the characters and the storyline is very intriguing. The artwork by Kairi Fujiyama is first-rate, but I do sometimes get a little lost when reading the action scenes. Still, this is not enough to put a damper on my enthusiasm for this wonderful series. The translation and adaptation to English is very good, which makes the story flow well.
I really enjoyed the long story dealing with Leila on her first solo mission. It is nice to get to know her a little better, as she is usually overshadowed by Issa's overbearing personality.
I wonder if Squad Zero will ever be fully formed? As it is, it is really only comprised of Issa and Leila, while Sôsei is just on a temporary reassignment. All other VIUS members that have worked with Squad Zero are volunteers helpers on loan. I believe that Squad Zero should be fully formed so we can get to know each member better and create our own connections with them. As it is, I don't really care about the temporary members that won't be around long.
Overall, Dragon Eye: Volume 4 is another excellent book in this awesome series and I cannot wait to see how Hibiki goes about trying to become the Squad Zero Leader in Dragon Eye: Volume 5. That should be quite interesting.
I rated this book a 9 out of 10.

The first part of this issue continues the huge battle beneath the outskirts of Mikuni, between the Dracules and Squad Zero. The end is pretty predictable, and Issa is very happy he didn't have to unveil his Dragon's Eye - part of his current restrictions to be able to not only remain a part of VIUS, but also stay in Mikuni. We also get a hint that Issa knows a lot more about the Dracules - and that his history is tied up with the monsters.
The second part of the manga focuses on Leila, and her personal assignment. She goes undercover as a bento girl to get information on a ring that is smuggling and selling Dracules for fighting rings. When she is captured along with a young boy, she has to figure a way out for both of them, as well as protect those people who are being swept up into something they don't even know about.
The storyline is still very intriguing and the art style is easy to look at. The Japanese in-jokes are explained in the back of the book. There are a few extras included, a question and answer session, and a few odd 'inventions' of VIUS.
I am still very much enjoying this story.
