Pas same hlm. 193 tadi, aku mikir, "oh hlm. 212 masih lama nih. masih ada 100 halaman lagi, yeay!" Little did I know kalo hlm itu udah tinggal dikit banget. Sampe heran pas ada komik panel: "tumben ditaruh di tengah, biasanya di ending." 😂🤣
Efek komik ini sampe segitunya emang. Enak banget buat diikuti. Nggak bosen. Yang ada malah makin dinamis dan makin seru.
Khusus buat vol. 3 ini, aku ngerasain vibe "just because you can, doesn't mean you should". Ada dua tokoh yang menurutku belum siap disuruh ngebunuh orang pake kekuatan mereka. Sejauh ini, tindakan mereka didominasi "virus" tadi; jadi semacam tega tapi moral mereka masih questionable. Ujung-ujungnya pas sadar dan kembali normal(?), mereka kayak nyesel. Sigh.
Aku masih berharap kakak Taisuke sama wartawan itu muncul lebih banyak lagi sih. Mereka potensial dapet peran besar. Wkwkwk.

I still think the series blurb is a bit weird. I had expected based on the blurb that almost all the world had died, instead most of the world population survived it seemed.
Yep, I am still reading. Not sure for how long, I mean, the volumes are fast-paced and quite interesting, but I am also kinda done with people who have the power doing shitty crappy things. So far we haven't found one person who wasn't a total asshole. Even the father. I somewhat get why he wanted to go that far, but still, wtf? And we do get POV of the bad guys (as I would call them) which is also not my cup of tea generally in books.
I did like seeing our MC discover his power and slowly try to figure things out, I am still curious why he is one with powers that cannot do much with it nor can detect others with powers.
I will read one or two more volumes see if things improve, otherwise, bye bye.

Taisuke and Yuta meet a male Comrade who is trying to kill his children.
I'm a bit worried where this series is headed. I want more about the 'suicide virus' and how it affected the world and it seems like it's going to be Taisuke meeting one super-powered person after another. I'll give the next volume a try.

I love people with special powers. Maybe that is why I enjoyed reading superhero comic books while I was growing up. My favorites were Superman and the Fantastic Four. With all of their special powers, they were able to do many incredible things.
Now, in the Alive: The Final Evolution series has a lot of the things I loved about comic books in my youth. Each one of the "comrades" has a power. Of course, most of the "comrades" that we meet in the series are bad, but some are good, and those are the ones that I am cheering on.
Tadashi Kawashima has created an interesting world where a suicide virus has attacked earthlings, and any who catch the virus and don't kill themselves become a "comrade" with a special power. The artwork by Adachitoka is wonderful, but the translation and adaptation to English could be a little better.
There are a lot of phrases in this book that just are not we, as Americans, would say. They are close, just not right.
Another thing I like about this series is the amount of action. Something exciting always seems to be happening.
Overall, Alive: The Final Evolution: Volume 3 is another excellent read and very enjoyable. I cannot wait to continue the journey north with Taisuke and Yuta in Alive: The Final Evolution: Volume 4. It should be interesting.
I rated this book a 9 out of 10.
