i'm so confused. so far there's two theories i can come up with, which is very obvious: 1) sho is right about akira being some kind of alien who can time travel, or 2) it's akira's father who saved sho and his sister and he's just mistakenly took akira for him because they look similar
honestly it's been so predictable so far but i hope i'm wrong about my conjectures and the author gives and mind-blowing plot twist. i'm just here to enjoy the vibes and the art
Starting to get kinda into it! Mainly because of the dangerously hot guys, but I mean there's also like a story and mystery etc. ya'kno...
I wonder if the bit about aliens living on earth in the beginning of chapters is inspired by Yoshihiro Togashi's Level E (hilarious lil manga & anime, highly recommend). Has a similar vibe to me :D
This volume left me with both many questions but also the assurance that I'm in for an absolutely wicked ride 😍 This series is gonna make me cry, I can feel it...
So in the start of this volume, Akira is still running with the little girl after seeing Sho die and they attempt to be attacked again by one of the aliens, but then Sho shows up and kills it, but he’s not normal and he has a horn coming out of his head. We learn that the thing that attacked them are actually targeted bio weapons called sonic arrows and they came from the little girls planet to attack her and that’s most likely what made her spacecraft crash. We also learned from Amamiya that Sho is not completely human. He used to be a human but nine years ago when he and his sister were attacked by the alien Hakugin (the same one that killed Akiras father) he gained the ability that aliens have on another planet and the ability is hyper regeneration, and it is rare. (His sister is in a coma from the attack.) So he can essentially not die, even though the regeneration puts a significant amount of pain on his body. We also learned that Amamiya is essentially using Sho as his pawn since he knows that he cannot die, and Sho has internalized the fact that he is not really worth it and thinks of himself more as a tool and a weapon and dangerous.
Akira ends up telling Christina that he wants his weapon to be the same as what his father‘s was and they make it for him and we learned that the sonic arrows that attacked them were essentially the children of one large sonic arrow, and they need to attack the large one to stop it from targeting them and Akira puts himself up there and says Sho and I let’s do this. And Amamiya is yet again allowing them to do this even though he knows it’s risky because he wants to push it and he wants to see a certain outcome. So they go to the location and it starts attacking them and when Akira puts on his weapon Sho recognizes it and eventually they start to get attacked and they tried to fight it and Sho tells Akira that you could just use me as your weapon I can defeat it just don’t get hurt. And Akira doesn’t accept that answer and he responds to him that he doesn’t wanna see him hurt and he doesn’t wanna see him in pain just because he can’t die and he tells him that he still deserves kindness. That impacts Sho a lot because that was the first person to really be genuine about that. And we learned from Sho that (this goes back to volume one) when I said that he had a flashback of someone standing in front of him I thought it was Akira, and it was and we learned that nine years ago when him and his sister were attacked somehow Akira, I don’t think it was his father, but Akira protected him from Hakugin and he doesn’t know how that’s possible. Somehow Akira had to time travel back and protect him but he also doesn’t know really what Akira is yet and at the end of the volume the little girl’s mother finally shows up, and Akira ends up asking around about Hakugin because he wants to find more out, but nobody seems to know about that alien and then the volume ends at school where there is this guy who’s known to kind of be getting in trouble often and causing disruptions, goes outside to talk to Sho and Akira and his “friend” follow them secretly outside.
So characters, I want to learn more about this whole time travel situation if that’s actually what it is. I am expecting to see more character relationship development between Akira and Sho, especially since that obviously the reason why Sho is so contemplative about Akira is because he has this memory of him somehow saving him and Akira doesn’t know that and then Akira is in the present attempting to protect Sho and show him that he deserves kindness and he deserves his teamwork in this dynamic. They are going to build together, and I want to see further on that.
Amamiya, when Akira used his weapon and use its protective act on it, he had a flashback to Akira’s father and I know they have a backstory. I know there’s more there and I just wanna know what it is like…Im expecting complicated-ish. I just wanna know if he was any responsible for what happened. If he did a bit of a betrayal or if there was someone higher than him that did something.
I feel like I liked this volume less when it comes to my actual feeling while reading it the first time. I know that a lot of Akira in this volume was supporting and trying to reach Sho, and especially in his moment when communicating with Sho about you don’t have to be invincible, you don’t have to not care for yourself. It’s impactful yes, but I don’t feel like I found as heartfelt as I should have from the reader perspective. Also, there’s still more recapping going on in this volume and the whole school thing and there’s another character getting involved and I have interest of things I want to learn about, but I feel like I felt more disinterested at the end of the volume, but I’m gonna read the next one and I still want to know because I just wanna know the deeper darker secrets you know like that’s really what I wanna know.
Yet again there is a lot of more comedic lighter humoring tones within some of the character, interactions and writing. I’ll say it again that’s not my biggest thing so that obviously does decrease my interest. But I think the story and the author is very aware the jokes that it makes and a lot of the jokes are common things that exist in manga or characters or things fans say… I suppose.. and I feel like every time that happens it kind of takes me out a little bit, but that’s my personal preference but it’s affecting my enjoyment.

J’avais adoré les deux premiers tomes, clairement c’est même un coup de coeur! Une véritable surprise! Après ma lecture, je n’avais qu’une hâte : lire la suite! Surtout quand on voit comment le second tome se termine. Une façon limite cruelle. Ce troisième tome, je l’ai attendu avec beaucoup d’impatience. Et je suis ravie de voir que la suite est à la hauteur de ce que j’attendais. Ce manga, cette histoire est vraiment incroyable. J’aimerais tellement une adaptation en anime, ça serait complètement fou!
Dans ce troisième tome, Sho a été mortellement blessé pendant qu’il veillait sur une petite alien avec Akira. Celui-ci fait face en tremblant malgré son cruel manque d’expérience et d’entraînement. Alors que tout semble perdu, il est sauvé par quelqu’un qu’il ne pensait plus jamais revoir…
On retrouve donc nos personnages dans une bien fâcheuse position.. Sho a fini par se retrouver mortellement blessé. Akira est donc dans tous ses états jusqu’au moment où Sho fini par revenir. On découvre la vérité quant à sa véritable nature. Ça me fait un peu de peine de voir que Sho est vraiment traité comme une arme et non une personne. Et même si Sho ne montre pas ses émotions, on voit bien que ça le peine d’être traité de cette façon. Il n’y a que Akira qui le traite comme une véritable personne. J’adore le duo qu’ils forment ces deux là et je sens que plus on va avancer dans la série et plus ce duo va se fortifier. Et il me tarde déjà de découvrir tout ça. J’adore le personnage d’Akira, d’ailleurs, ici on découvre aussi pas mal de nouvelles choses à son propos. Ce qui va rendre la suite encore plus intéressante. Je suis vraiment fan de ce manga, on ne s’ennuie jamais, les combats sont vraiment incroyables à voir et les personnages sont hyper intéressants.
Un troisième tome clairement à la hauteur de mes espérances. Je sens que plus je vais avancer dans la découverte des tomes et plus je vais prendre de plaisir à les lire. J’étais curieuse de ce nouveau titre à sa sortie et je ne suis vraiment pas déçue le moins du monde. C’est un manga incroyable avec un univers hyper intéressant, les personnages sont géniaux à suivre. Vraiment lisez le ce manga, il en vaut vraiment la peine!
,,Nieważne, że masz moc regeneracji i że jesteś odporniejszy na ból niż zwykły człowiek. To wszystko bez znaczenia. Według mnie to nie jest wystarczający powód, by cię narażać.”
,,Zaufaj mi. Tak jak ja ufam tobie.”
AAACH! Jeśli Akira i Sho nie skończą razem, to ja nie wierzę w miłość!
Już poprzednio mogliśmy posmakować trochę akcji, ale tym razem możemy w tej akcji zobaczyć duet Sho-Akira. Ta dwójka uzupełnia się wprost idealnie – czy to patrząc na chemię, czy na ich zdolności bojowe. I tak, Akira nie ma żadnych tych zdolności… ale nadrabia to dobrym pomysłem i odpowiednim doborem broni, aby być wsparciem dla Sho. Długa jeszcze droga przed nim, jednak rodząca się przyjaźń między nim a Sho jest po prostu… urocza. Nie ma rywalizacji, nieporozumień i wzajemnego darcia mordy na siebie. I fakt, lubię też bardziej ,,wybuchowe” relacje, ale tu czuć, że od razu coś kliknęło, nawet jeśli na razie jest momentami trochę niezręcznie. I cudowne jest też to, jak Akira zaczyna przypominać wszystkim dookoła w AMO swojego zmarłego ojca…
Amamiya za to raczej będzie kimś o trudnej do sprecyzowania moralności. Może się wydawać, że ma ciągoty do sadyzmu… czasem całkiem mocne… jednak mam wrażenie, że tak go po prostu ukształtowała praca dla AMO. To nie jest robota łatwa, ani tym bardziej bezpieczna, a do tego podejrzewam, że również pełna trudnych do podejmowania decyzji. I choć Amamiya już pokazał, że nieźle sobie radzi w lawirowaniu pomiędzy regulaminem i interpretowaniu go na swoją korzyść, to nie wszystko w tym świecie jest zero-jedynkowe.
MY BEAUTIFUL SHO SURVIVED! REJOICE!!! AND AKIRA IS SAFE TOO ㅠㅠ<333
I am both in awe and sad to know about Sho’s actual ability. I want to cry and give Sho the warmest hug because he deserves better and then I will strangle Amamiya with my own two hands. I knew that Amamiya is probably the reason why Sho is such a talented agent, but
Akira finally got his own combat suit, and it’s so endearing that he requested his suit and weapon to be like his father’s. He seems pretty strong for someone new to this, and I’m really looking forward to him growing stronger with more missions.
But Sho’s deductions for how Akira had probably time-travelled–or will time-travel?–is making me so confused. It’s definitely going to be more complicated from on. I just hope nothing worse will come to these two :(
Este tomo es el primer punto de inflexión en la serie, especialmente para los dos protagonistas. Por un lado, Akira empieza dejar de ser el pez fuera de agua que ha sido hasta ahora. Con su nueva arma y los descubrimientos sobre Shô, adquiere agencia y motivación para actuar, en lugar de solamente verse arrastrado por los acontecimientos. Por el otro, Shô deja de ser el personaje plano que había sido hasta el momento, y empieza a moldearse como alguien más complejo y emocional.
Todo ello mostrado con el excelente dibujo de Naoe, que brilla especialmente en las escenas de acción.
Un tomo lleno de acción y emociones, que nos revela algunos secretos mientras nos sigue tentando con migas de muchos otros aún por descubrir.
I am entirely unclear at this point what genre this actually is, but I am really loving it. It has some of the shounen fighting bits and 'I need to get strong to protect people' vibes that I was expecting, but it also has a really nice slow-burn friendship (or more?) between the two teenage boys, and some interesting mysteries around I'm really enjoying it and I hope I can find more volumes!
I really liked Sho and Akira’s relationship development in this volume. I’m excited to see more of their companionship in the upcoming volumes. We also got more bits of Sho’s backstory which was pretty good to know about! I’m also curious if he just can’t seem to understand that Akira is just the son of the man who saved him or if there’s really some kind of time loop/time reverse that we still don’t know about. Looking forward to the next volume!
WOWW okeyyy i had to read this volume asap after the previous one bcs I NEED TO KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT! and then they bring me theory about this time travel whatsoever like WDYM WE HAVE THIS KIND OF FANTASY THING HERE?? i thought we were just fighting aliens 😶 and im happy to know about Sho's past and ALSO WHAT'S WITH AKIRA'S COOL COMBAT TOOLS NOW?? He really looks like his dad, i'm happy for him too.

This volume was… fine. It had its moments, a few flashy scenes here and there but nothing mind blowing. I will say, seeing Akira use the same weapon as his dad actually got me excited.
I honestly thought it was Akira’s dad who saved Sho and his sister, so the whole idea of Akira rewinding time is pretty bleak but I’m willing to roll with it for now and see where it goes. I can already feel the next volume maybe dipping a bit but who knows, maybe I’ll be surprised.
Il volume più bello uscito fino ad ora. Vediamo nuove sfaccettature dei personaggi principali: Akira si comporta in modo più maturo, mentre Sho mostra la sua debolezza ed è da questo arricchimento che entrambi i personaggi guadagnano spessore. Sono una bella coppia! Non nascondo che mi piacerebbe non poco vedere animata quest'opera.
continuing on digital cause I’m too impatient to wait for the english paperback to release (in my defence, the cliffhanger from vol 2 wasn’t doing me any favours) but uh, moving on!! really enjoyed this one tbh, especially the development that went into Sho’s backstory as well as his and Akira’s growing dynamic/relationship. I love them a lot <3 anyways, ‘twas a joy and I shall be reading more!
im so confused. i feel like the mangaka clarifying that it couldn't have possibly been akira's father who saved sho and then going on to say that it may have been akira time travelling would have made for a much better story in terms of clarity and thrill. but then again, there may be a bigger plot twist that i do not know about so im going to hold on to hope!
So good, at a point I wanted to punch a certain good looking eyepatch dude, but I didn’t want to ruin my book😔. A lot of things are starting to come together and it made me so happy when puzzle pieces started fitting together😄
3.5/4 stars. The art is closer to 5 stars? But the syory/plot for this volume meandered a bit. There was a wrap-up of the previous storyline and the beginning of a new one. It felt like it was trying to figure out where it was going. The transition between the two plot threads was bumpy.
I've been enjoying reading this sci-fi/action manga series: it has brilliant illustrations and characters, intriguing world building and a complex storyline that keeps me intrigued. Definitely a fun series that I can recommend (be warned about some cliff-hanger endings, though!)
This one didn’t excite me as much as the first two, but I’m still very invested in the characters and excited to see more of them. I’m just wishing that the story would “wow” me at least once, and that hasn’t happened yet.
