4.0

The will of this of Shingo is so intense you can feel it.
It does feel like a kid looking for its lost mum and dad.
With a lot of bloodshed on the way.

Always tough to review something like this so mid-series, but it's worth expressing that this tragic-horror of early-computer-robot-Frankenstein's Monster leads through a series of wild, horrific, and often sad scenes. It doesn't always make incredibly clear sense how it all occurs, but it's a more introspective work that still looks at the development of early computers and robots through the same Frankenstein-movie lens of innocence and monstrosity.

This features much more about Monroe/Shingo and less about the actual story of Satoru, but it doesn't feel meandering problematically or off-topic.

Lots of new players introduced in this volume and lots more action. I enjoyed it but I did appreciate the slower pace of the first few volumes more. With two volumes left it'll be interesting to see how this plays out...
