Wow this just got extra dark.

The last couple volumes were turning my opinion around on this series, but I am in the spot again where I am having a hard time following what is happening. This volume starts out with a flashback, and I was struggling with keeping the characters straight with the current time and the timing of when the flashback occurred. The rest of the volume is basically a giant fight. The art in the fights is loose and it ends a bit anticlimactically. I think there is a good story here, but I am struggling as a reader.

Wie schon in meinen Reviews zu den zwei Vorgängerbänden, muss ich auch hier wieder sagen, dass mir die Entwicklung hin zur Rauheit, Gefühlskälte und Brutalität nicht gefällt. Mittlerweile denke ich über den Abbruch der Reihe nach, nur möchte ich halt so gern wissen wie alles endet und vor allem was da nun hinter steckt. Ich bin wirklich hin und hergerissen. Ich wünschte ich wüsste wie lang diese Reihe noch sein wird.
Der Zeichenstil ist weiterhin genial und die Postkarte, die der Erstauflage beiliegt gefällt mir wieder richtig gut. Allerdings muss ich sagen, dass ich in diesem Band zum ersten Mal echt Probleme hatte die Charaktere auseinanderzuhalten.

Story 3,0/5
Zeichenstil 3,6/5
Emotionen 1,7/5
Charaktere 3,0/5
Gesamt 3,0/5

There is some background added here that explains the relationships between some of the characters. There is still plenty to reveal, but this information is a welcome addition to the mindless fighting.

Shuichi, Kaito, Elena, Honoka and Aiko were friends who went together to cram school. A year later they had a reunion, but Honoka was missing. Kaito finds that she had met the alien and asked him to turn her into Aiko. The griup suspected Honoka killed Aiko, so Kaito killed Honoka. In reality, Aiko killed herself and Honoka chose to replace her because Aiko was more popular than Honoka.

Shuichi, Claire and Sanbe head toward the crash site where the coins should be more plentiful. They meet two strong opponents on the way.

Kind of went off the rails for a bit. The writing of the series seems very disorganized. It very much feels like the author doesn't know what ideas they want to put in the story, so every idea they have is shoved in. The problem is that the ideas aren't really fed to the reader. They are thrown onto the ground and left for the reader to try to reassemble.
Hoping the story gains some organization in the next volume...

Haven watched the anime, I was able to get through the confusing start of this volume. As the story progresses we get to a decent fight scene with our main protagonists. I will say this manga reads quickly and this volume is no exception. I’m looking forward to when we get past where the anime ended.

Damn I love this series

I really want all out and red this one in what felt like 2 minutes. I'm kinda scared to keep reading I don't want this series to stop because the author isn't done yet.

Muy buena historia

Muy buen final para este volumen, sin duda quiero leer más sobre esta historia. Quien pensaría lo mucho que Suichi esta involucrado con el tema de las monedas.

Nuevamente algo de echi y fanservice, pero la historia esta progresando.
