I really need to stop reading manga in multiple sittings, because I always end up not knowing what to rate it. I'm just rating this the same as the last book.

It was good. Maybe not actually as good as book two. Maybe more of a 3.5 than a 4 star, but it was still better than the first volume. There was one specific very epic part. It had been a while since I read the last book, so my memory on things is kind of shot. Like, who and what the hell are those mini Iona things? Every time I see them I get so confused.

I am eager to pick up the next volume, which works because I already own it.

Very technical manga. They did defeat an alien ship but it was almost a Pyrrhic victory.

This is a good manga! The story is good and clear and the art is fine as well.

Nice to see that the story is beginning to diverge more from the anime in this volume. Even still, I wish more time was spent on character relationships. The story feels a little impersonal.
