really liking these new characters. tomodachi land is so freaking creepy. the people there are straight from a nightmare; the way they're always cheerful and smiling but hiding sinister secrets behind the facade.

Once again we are taken away from the events of the bloody new years eve sadly...
We are getting 1/4 sometimes, if we are lucky 1/2 of each volume about that night, and sometimes nothing about that night at all!
I was really thrilled when i found that yoshitsune is alive, and is still fighting the good fight.
I really like the girl kyoko, she is a well made character i like everything about her ❤
Even though at the end of the bloody new years eve portion of the volume, we see friend talking to kenji, but i don't know my suspicion is still not laid to rest to tell you the truth!
The way he was mad about the robot being a cheap knock off of the robot they imagined, also makes me suspicious of him, since friend disappeared for months before the new years eve, so he might not have seen the robot he ordered his followers to make before hand.
Man i like my conspiracy theory even though its so fragile lol, and could easily turn out false...
This future is really a terrible future, it reminds you of [b:1984|61439040|1984|George Orwell|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1657781256l/61439040._SX50_.jpg|153313] by George Orwell, and the group who tried to save everyone from that future they paid their lives for it.
Its a sad reality may it never become true.

True about the events of Kenji and his friends on deadly New Year's eve are presented to us in flashbacks. Told by Shogun and Captain to Koizumi and manga artist it shocks them. It seems that everything new order is based on is actual lie (can you imagine it :)) ?).

In the meanwhile Kanna is involved in the investigation of Chinese gangster and inspector helping her soon finds out that corrupted police might be involved.

Koizumi on the opther hand finds herself bestowed a dubious honor of attending "Friendship Land" amusement park which is as much amusement park as Soviet Siberian camps were recreational facilities. Here she will find herself in the grip of "Friend" indoctrination service. And help will come from the most unexpected place.

Art as always is pure beauty.

Highly recommended.

La fin de ce tome m'a procuré des frissons... c'est à la fois de l'angoisse, de l'anticipation et de l'excitation. :D
Je suis toujours autant épatée par le fait que même si l'histoire se passe sur plusieurs périodes temporelles, on est pas perdus.

Satu lagi teman Kenji yang muncul setelah kejadian di malam tahun baru 2001, Yoshitsune. Dia membantu Kyoko untuk bertahan di Tomodachi Land.

Lagunya Kenji bisa didengarkan di youtube.
