[inas · Rating 3 out of 5]

Rasa-rasanya aku pengin Goodreads bisa ngasih rating koma, karena ini nggak bulet 3 🌟 aja. 😁

Aku nggak bisa menikmati vol. 5 sebanyak aku menikmati vol. 1-4. Di sini semacam ngejelasin perkembangan mereka doang—kayak update status yang kurang action gitu.

Aku juga sadar bahwa aku kurang suka sama karakter Megu. Entah kenapa, dia rapuh banget dan yang ada di pikirannya cuma Taisuke melulu. Emang sih, dia mungkin kesel sama Hiro dan tindakannya, makanya Megu juga nggak minta maaf atau berbaik hati ke Hiro. Cuman karena dia kesannya nggak bisa take care sama diri sendiri, aku jadi nggak bisa suka/bersimpati.

Aku malah lebih suka sama Nami. Dia tipe tokoh yang moralnya questionable. Dia sadar dia jahat dan pengin balas dendam. Tapi sepenernya dia juga punya soft spot tertentu, dan ini nggak mengurangi sifat kerasnya dia. Not that I cherish violence more or what, aku cuma seneng aja sama karakter tangguh kayak gini. Wkwkwk. I'm so mean. 😂

Aku berharap volume selanjutnya nggak kalah seru dari yang sebelumnya sih. 😙

Pada jilid ini Kawashima sensei mencoba mengeksplor latar masing2 tokoh utama. Seperti sekelebat penyebab kematian orangtua Kanou bersaudara serta hubungan Taisukue-Hirose-Megu.
Berbeda dengan penampakan pada jilid I, Megu-chan terkesan seperti cewe lemah tanpa daya :-/ yg hanya pasrah menunggu Taisuke dan manut dicocok oleh Hirose. Entah karena pengaruh Katsumata

The crew gets closer to their kidnapped friend and answers about the gathering.

I love Okada’s shinigami design! But it kinda disappoints me that we are not seeing more of the mass suicide wave or the virus and how it impacts the world or how the world responses to it.

I really enjoyed this one. The character development is much better, and the cast is broadening slowly.

Este tomo fue de puente, pero muy interesante, casi se escapa.
