3.5 stars. This volume was a little bit of a miss for me, though not by much. The artwork as always is beautiful (if not always super easy to distinguish) and I love the characters. The arcs covered here just weren't as interesting to me personally since I'm not as invested in Victor and am not huge into the lech humor of the middle arc (though I will say the ending to that arc is phenomenal). Edmund is also a little over the top for me, though I will say he gets better later. Not my favorite volume, but still definitely worth reading.

Not bad not bad. A little rocky but not bad. I think the author might be being pressured to include more sexuality into the series, you can tell what characters he applies it to and which ones he doesn’t. There’s this new technique with drawing inside peoples faces to show emotion and it feels a little wonky considering how often it’s used and it seems like more and more characters talk as if they are the narrator.

Juzo is lightly revealed to be gun unit number 13, one of the few units chosen to take out his nine brothers. Victor helps reveal his past while Tetsuro is recruited to use his body to take out number seven.

This volume is a little bit more convoluted, especially in the sense that Juzo has spare arms within his back. It also had an unnecessary chapter about a peeping Tom. Anyway we find out Victor accidentally split himself in half and now his evil half is well evil and the other half is a hand.

I'm so tense every time we meet new crazy characters or every time there are GSU encounters! Very cool volume, once again.
