This series is superb from Vol. 1 to this Volume, I like how Sensei Ohba and Sensei Obata create their characters and twist and turns in each arc. Also I like they end the previous arc which to me was kind of a punch in the gut, but it also starts a new rival against the protagonists. I also find the character Nakai superbly fleshed out, showing the lowest of the low of his character and now making a comeback, I hope he changed his selfish ways and become an even better person. This volume has the usual comedy the series brings and the usual moral of the story which was, even though we started working hard in reaching our dreams and sacrificing a lot in our lives like social life we will do everything just to achieve that dream, to reach the stars.

There are 5 more volumes until the end of the series, the series ended last April, and instead of reading the online scanlations, I've decided I should wait for the American translated tankobons and collect them all just like I did with their previous work the bestselling hit Death Note.

This may be on my top fave manga of all time.

I found this volume a bit self-indulgent and preachy to be honest. From the tiresome Nanamine storyline to the pathetic Nakai storyline, it just seemed a bit far fetched. However, the PCP copycat storyline was a breath of fresh air. I am looking forward to seeing it play out. The art, as usual, was top notch. Such creative expressions and close-ups…

Ugh Nakai. I hope this is the last volume we have to see him in.

  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

Bromance!! I can't reveal too much but Takagi found difficulties to come up with a name... This is where he shouts at his wife and his friend a lot, ha! Takagi is one of my favourites character in this manga but he really annoys me sometimes. He is very calculative and innovative too(of course, he is the writer, right?), haha!

I love this series. It's really cool that something like this was able to be published in Jump. There are sweet introspective moments, like when Muto Ashirogi goes to their school reunion, mixed with fun comedy elements like Nakai and Hiramaru's relationship.

I still think Nanamine was lucky and got better than what he deserved... but yeah... everybody entitled for a second chance, so... all the best for him
