Esta historia se pone cada vez mejor, y la forma en la que va desarrollando a los personajes y sus características psicológicas como físicas me atrapa cada vez más.

Second Read Review: I upped this by a star upon my second pass. Reading these volumes spaced out made it hard to keep characters straight and to see how the plot lines work together. It is definitely more cohesive upon a second read. I still have some issues with the series, but it is much more enjoyable this time around.

Original Review: Not much new to say compared to the other three volumes. It saves itself from one star because of the concept, but the execution and unnecessary misogyny needs work.

This volume saw a significant slip in quality. The action was too unfocused and the plot began to get a little bit too muddled.

Despite building on the cliffhanger of the last volume, and introducing a new aspect of Shuichi's abilities, Gleipnir continues to be aggressively mediocre. Claire's motivation for finding her sister has evolved somewhat as well, but it just isn't enough to keep me interested. She and Shuichi are now part of a group of Collectors who seem pretty dysfunctional--and at least one of which actively hates them. I'm pretty sure I can see the backstab coming from a mile away.

What started out as an interesting and weird concept about people getting superpowers from coins (whether they wanted them or not), has devolved into nameless monsters killing each other in the woods. It's not quite into monster of the week territory yet, but it's pretty close. The action's fine for what it is, and the art is still good in a rough sort of way, but the straight-up averageness of what Gleipnir has become is just not what I'm looking for right now.

Nachdem ich in Band 3 so schnelle wieder reingekommen bin, musste ich gleich weiterlesen. Es geht wieder sehr actionreich weiter. Shuichi und Claire habe sich eine Gruppe angeschlossen, treffen aber gleich wieder auf Feinde. Mit reiner Muskelkraft kommen sie da nicht voran und so müssen sie sich etwas anderes einfallen lassen. Mehr möchte ich aus Spoilergründen nicht sagen.
Mir gefällt die Story weiterhin gut, aber ich hoffe der Actionanteil nimmt nicht überhand.
Der Zeichenstil ist weiterhin genial und die Postkarte, die der Erstauflage beiliegt gefällt mir wieder richtig gut.

Story 4,0/5
Zeichenstil 4,0/5
Charaktere 4,0/5
Gesamt 4,0/5

After being crushed by Subaru's gigantic creations, Shuichi and Yoshioka merge together into a different monster. Their agility is more than Subaru can handle, but Elena, Claire's sister, stops the fight. Shuichi and Claire wake up in Koyanagi's hideout.

Yoshioka contacts Elena to offer a teamup and ask about her merge with Shuichi, but is refused. Elena has her own group to worry about.

With Shuichi and Claire's oaths completed, Koyanagi's group continues the search for more alien coins. Unfortunately, groups with fewer concerns for life are also out there. Their encounter with the first member of such a group goes well, but there are more fights ahead.

In diesem Band gibt es zwar noch immer recht viel nakte haut, und ab manchen Stellen verstehe ich den Sinn dahinter auch nicht, aber es gibt etwas mehr Geschichte. Dabei gibt es viele Fragen die aufkommen. Das sorgt für zusätzliche Spannung und eine mögliche Tiefe der Geschichte. Die Charaktere sind vielfältig wobei ich bisher finde das Shuichi noch nicht so wirklich eine Entwicklung durchgemacht hat. Mal sehen was da noch kommt

There were a few moments in the last volume (3) that really were striking. There was one really interesting spot in this one, but then I also was a little bored with the battles and such. Not totally looking for an action battle find rewards type book. I’m not sure if I will keep going on this, although I did enjoy vol 1-3.

A medida que avanza se pone mejor

Ya empezamos a ver acción y a revelar detalles que le dan sentido a la historia, pero siempre dejando al lector con ganas de leer el siguiente volumen.

[Lewis Bamford · Rating 4 out of 5]

Thought this volume was a great improvement compared to the others a lot less nudity still a bit to much which is why it’s at four stars but I thought other than that the way the plot has unraveled and how there still so much building to be done on the characters is just great.

[FlipOtaku · Rating 3 out of 5]

The story remains very confusing....
I am sticking around because I bought a bunch of the ebook on sales but I have to admit i am not impressed...

La lucha en el bosque esta intensa, el echhi bajo un poco. Esperemos para ver como sigue.
