Reviews

[Baba · Rating 3 out of 5]

This volume features Esper powers on TV; cheating on their exams; Haru and the opposing Yakuza, Tsuda supposedly lying low; and the cream of the cop, Yakuza Nitta having conflicting emotions around being a father figure to the Espers in his life. With no movement on the main story arc and limited real character development and a more overt comedic take, this volume sees the series regress a little back to a Three Star, 7b out of 12 read.

I love the characters, but this was not their best showcase. Even the chapter with the usually awesome Hitomi Mishima doesn't really sparkle. Are the mid-series blahs setting in?

[Brandon · Rating 3 out of 5]

I don't think this volume did much new. There were some good moments, but outside of the cheating chapter I didn't care for it at all.

[Saurabh Modi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lot of funny stories once again. Doesn’t make a lot of progress in the end game storyline.

[Major Flamboyant · Rating 5 out of 5]

My only regret is that this series had to come to an end.
