This was another fun volume in the series. It was nice to get to know some of the side characters better, and while the main arcs weren't necessarily my favorites, there were some great moments, characters, and settings as always. My two biggest complaints as usual are just that in some places it was a little hard to understand exactly what was happening in the art/plot and, related to that, that there isn't a character/plot summary page at the start. Since it had been a while since I'd last read the series (and several main female characters looked similar in this volume), some of the finer subplot points got a little lost on me the first time reading through. Still though, definitely one of my all-time favorite series. Will be very sad to reach the end!

Calma antes de la tormenta

Luego de un enfrentamiento desgastante en los volúmenes anteriores, la saga de Juzo y compañía contra la megacorporación de potenciado toma un descanso, para dar paso a un volumen en el cual volvemos a resolver casos varios.

Una agencia de seguros que no quiere pagar una indemnización por brecha de contrato y un chico que llega a sus puertas identificándose como alguien que conocen, son misterios que tendrán que resolver en este tomo.

En general bien logrado, Karasuma avanza la historia sin dejar de darnos un mundo tridimensional en el cual también pasan otras cosas que requieren de la ayuda de alguien con las habilidades de Juzo.

It seems like this is starting to be a bit rushed, or maybe that this volume just gives a bit more information about different plots at the same time, but I was missing seeing Juzo doing detective work, so I've enjoyed it pretty much anyway! I'm wondering if all this information will connect and make more sense at the end...

I liked the beginning with the insurance agent who was killing people in order for their families to get a settlement. But then it delves back into government stuff with them trying to shoot down a poisonous gas drone who is related to one of the side characters and they apparently created a sting operation with Seven.

The art is really good, but it felt like a filler followed by an intense turn of events out of nowhere…

After the intensity and major revelations of the previous volumes, it’s nice to decompress with some shorter stories. Don’t get me wrong, the overarching plot of No Guns Life is fantastic, but Juzo’s work as a PI has always been compelling and there’s some great classic noir in this volume.

For those who do want some action though, there’s plenty of bombastic fight scenes towards the end of the volume as we explore Scarlet’s extended family (pun intended). Another solid book from a solid series. Absolutely recommended.
