As I feared last volume, the series is starting to go epic, introducing three new super powered children this time around. To keep up the Lewis Carroll theme, they are called "Wonders." The main events are a prison break to free one of the Wonders and a rematch with Tweedledee and Tweedledum.
We get another extended nude scene with a different 12-year-old, because . . . her powers don't work if she's wearing clothes?
I might have given up on the series here, but the last page announces that vol. 6 is the finale, so I'll probably see how this very uneven story resolves itself.

A familiar face and a few new superpowered individuals emerge as Yukko and Alice flee, this time from both military and the specially gifted. Will they finally get the help they need?
I'm rating this down for completely unnecessary, gratuitous, and exploitative female nudity.
On a more positive note, I liked getting to know more about how the Wonders use their powers - and the price they pay to use them.
I won't say much more about this now, but I will, as mentioned, write a more comprehensive review after finishing Volume 6.

Wake up Sleeping Beauty
Just before the end of the series the return of Taki from the time Alice originally shrunk everyone down to size in the beginning returns to take Yukko and a now slumbering Alice into custody to protect them. Here Yukko (and Genda who was being restrained by Taki thinking he was an enemy) learns about the children simply known as Wonders for their extraordinary powers and the truth that Taki's own son is not only one of these Wonders but also a captive of an American military base. With the help of two other Wonders only just introduced recently in the series it is a rescue operation of the utmost importance that is not going to end well for any that get in the way of the rescuers. Also we learn about the seemingly ageless nature of the Wonders though with the use of their powers they require a long rest to which point they will age rapidly. So just in case you are curious how old many of the Wonders are in the series I'll clue you in as it mentions the more adult ones that helped save Taki's son, Shou are only 12 as is I believe Alice. That's some crazy stuff there.
Anyway with the addition of Shou to their ranks the military has even less Wonders to play with but who are the tweedle boys working for and why did they show up when at least two of the wonders are sound asleep? We will have to see next volume when super powers collide un the final action packed finale. :)

The story behind the Wonders is revealed as well as Alice’s special qualities among those with superpowers. The manhunt continues for the escapees with other countries looking to add Alice as a weapon to their arsenals. The storyline feels very familiar and well-tread. Along with the nudity that again serves no purpose, there are some strange jumbling parts of the narrative as this volume opens that are a bit confusing. All of the exposition on the origins slows the chase down, and again, the art is not as consistent as it was in the first volume. This series began with an interesting body horror concept which for me lost all of the air in its sails as the super power plot unfolded.

ilove these little books

This is my favorite volume so far. It's so exciting and action-packed. This second half has been more battle heavy, and I love it.

We got so many answers in this volume! It’s definitely giving me the tv show Heroes vibes now with all the Wonders. But is Iosif actually dead or is he in that deep of a sleep? Also, why is Yukko so special in all of his?
