Pandora in the Crimson Shell is rated Teen and although it is not outrageously perverted it does have some elements that might not be suitable for younger readers (such as how Nene gains her abilities from Clarion or Buer's actions in general so be sure to read this before handing to anyone you are entrusted to for safekeeping first.
This is another volume in the series I am fanboying about between the two legendary mangaka Kōshi Rikudō and Masamune Shirow (Probably best known for Excel Saga and Ghost in the Shell respectively) sand so far I have not been disappointed even though the styles of both men are so different. Nene continues to consider place in the world as her aunt tells her she needs to go to school to study. Clarion however does not understand considering anything Nene needs to know can be accessed through the Pandora Device within Clarion. Is it cheating to use someone else's ability for your own goals? She will discover the answer to this soon enough as she also continues her quest for World Peace one step at a time by bringing happiness to others. Before the end of the book we get to see Nene experience cooking upgrades, become a medical professional, juggle like an expert, and be able to control a heard of robots like a great puppet master. I for one am excited to see what skills she will unlock in the future. Oh and we get to see more of the intrepid reporter and Idol Vlind who continues to do her best even though she was serious injured not long ago.
My favorite part of the book would have to be when Nene unleashes her puppeteer skill and stopping some criminals with an army of stolen robots after they tried to destroy her. So moral of the story is don't get between an android girl and her robot affection. :)

Finally, the story got a little clearer. I still have the feeling that there is a lot that I don't know, but there were passages that made some sense. Again, there was some very fine art.
This was my last volume of this series.

Despite the cover, the pacing and storytelling is an improvement over volumes 1 and 2.
However the extremely overplayed Japanese gang (styled like characters from “Grease”) trope is a bit tiring. At least it was well written.

Still crazy and fun! Continue reading this goofy story. Recommend to teens and adults who love sci-fi manga.

It's nice to see Nene evolve as a person, however still naïve, she understands she must learn how to help people instead of just relying on the Pandora device, but that it is also necessary and that she can still grow while leaning on it for support. Seeing more of Nene's Pandora costumes is fun, I found myself wondering what she would look like in this situation or that situation.
The art, to me, has majorly improved from volume one. The characters are drawn more so with human anatomy in mind, instead of thinner, stick like figures for comedic effect. The facial expressions are also more natural now then just blank eyes and funny faces.
I look forward to the next volume to see what the girls get into next.
