Reviews

[Urbon Adamsson]

After his collaborators are captured during the assault on the office tower, Mr. Sato decides to take matters into his own hands. Cold, calculating, and driven by his sinister motives, he prepares to unleash his deadly skills. Expect a brutal display of action as Sato stops at nothing to reclaim control, facing off against anyone who stands in his way, with chaos and destruction following in his wake.

[Amber]

Ack! I feel like Kei’s plan sucks, but Sato is such a diabolical mastermind I wouldn’t no how to stop him either. So many head games and dirty tricks.

[Shannon]

Most intense volume yet.

[Himanshu Karmacharya]

Non-stop action and the tactics used by the opposing parties keep the readers at the edge of their seat, anticipating the moves of each faction.

Actual rating: 4.5 stars

NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I BEEN THIS SHOOKETH.
This is literally the most inventive and unhinged thing I have ever laid my eyes upon oh my GOD I WISH THE ANIME WAS STILL ACTIVE S:DLKFJ:SDLFJ

Would get a higher rating but the Star Trek reference Sato makes is... wrong lmao.

Uh, I doubt Sato actually needed anyone. He’s a machine going through them like confetti and ruining Nagai’s reputation plan. Looks like Tanaka is having doubts. Staying consistent and upping the ante.

[Krysia o książkach]

Coś nieszczególnie rozumiem plan Kaia Nagaia, Sato wysuwa się na prowadzenie.

[Frédéric]

Kei had a plan to get Sato. A good plan, indeed. But Sato is SICK, dude. He won’t buck from ANYTHING to win the game.

ANYTHING.

Massacre at Forge Security, Part II.

[Mac Millard]

Shits getting crazy. All the characters are kind of unlikable though but plenty of love-to-hate people

[Amir]

کلی منتظر بودم مجیک سیستم رو توضیح بده و تا ازش حرف زد باگ پیدا کردم. هی روزگار.

With the assault on the office tower, Kei Nagai does what he does best: figure out a cold, calculating plan to capture Sato. But when he realizes Sato isn't even there, they have to do what they can to at least capture his subordinates. Sato then takes matters into his own hands and storms the building himself using some pretty dark methods. Has Kei Nagai met his match? Or will he be able to finally stop Sato?

We've got some cool action and some interesting use of the demi human powers of regeneration. It'll be interesting to see where we go from here, and if there's any chance for a victory at this point for our protagonists.

[Petr]

Wow, this one really pumps up the action! Manages to introduce once again some new angles, conflicts and tricks. The series really grows on with new ideas. We also get a slight explanation of the main characters change of perspectives.

[Agnese Rosengren]

Il piano di Sato per entrare nell'edificio è una roba talmente malata che alla fine fa il giro e diventa una tra le cose più sublimi che abbia mai visto in vita mia — avete tutto il diritto di dire che non sono a posto con la testa, assolutamente sì.

[Saphirablue]

Great idea of flooding the room with AJIN particles so that Tanaka & Co won't be able to see anything.

I really like Nakano, by the way.

[Matthew Manchester]

Perfection. This is how you write a long battle sequence with tension and twists. Easily the best book of the series.

[Mai]

this was intense. I think Izumi is my fav

[Emma]

Väldigt intressant och vi ser hur långt visa är villiga att gå för att få sin agenda genom och är villiga att ofra sig själva(de dör ju inte men på ett sätt gör de det). Jag var osäker på om jag ville fortsätta läsa ajin men den här volymen har gjort så att jag har bestämt mig för att göra det.

[Dana]

La historia está volviéndose exasperante, necesito que acaben con Sato de una buena vez.

Pero me sigue produciendo alto placer visual ver estos dibujos aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[Ana Paes]

Notes: loving the shit out of this!!!!

[Readingmanga]

This scene in chapter 35.5 You know for what I think. This is insane. 🥲 Definitely five stars

[Quentin Wallace]

Action!

[Natalii]

4,5/5

[Walindor]

✔️8/17

[Książkowa Cisza]

GENIALNY tom.

[Emily]

The scene where Sato cut his hands off, put them in a bag of fried chicken knowing they would go into building and then put himself through a wood chipper knowing demi’s respawn to the largest chunk of their body was insane!! I was not expecting that level on insanity.

[Gabriela]

I love this so much!!
All the plans and plot twists!
And the internal battle of Tanaka, so amazing

[triệu]

Phản diện có điểm nhấn nha, có đủ độ điên và thật sự thông minh

[Hugi.wa]

J'ai senti une vraie évolution dans ce tome. Certains passages sont glaçants et hyper bien pensés, j'ai adoré !

[Manami Yamaguchi]

Ajin terrorist Sato and others, Ajin and battle group of a human mix including Kei. Both wars were developed at a forge safe building. In this chapter there are a lot of battle scenes.

[cindy]

Rencana awal berjalan mulus, tapi ternyata Satou tidak ikut dalam penyerangan ini. Kei menyarankan jebakan kedua dan memancing Satou.

Satou datang dengan cara tak terduga *yuuuucks* dan.... all hell broke loose.

Wow... sekarang kita lihat adu lihai dan adu kekuatan mental antara Kei dan Satou.
