Unlike the mystery of who exactly is friend, which will take 2400 more pages to be unveiled and concluded, short term mysteries i can work with, and i was right about sadakiyo he is not friend, and looks like as of right now, he is the only one who knows what friend really looks like, because he meet him without the mask.
Also could we know already who friend is, i remember i heard the rumor of sadakiyo dying before, what if the person who told them that he died the first time in the manga is friend himself!?
Sadly i can't go back to confirm this theory, specially since i don't know in which issue it was told.
while thunder just saved kana from the principal, who has been working with the friend part all along.
Sadakiyo the boy now with a face is still trying to save kyoko and himself, feels like he was used and abused by friend for a long time, thinking that he is a true friend sadakiyoshi kept his hope all this time, but no he never cared he was abusing the fact that he had no friends all along, he even put his adult face under the friend mask in the virtual attraction to mislead kyoko, and anyone else looking for him to think that he is in fact friend.
Big revelations are coming our way am sure of it, i just hope the identity of friend is one of them.
It would be really bad if he didn't turn out not to be anyone of kenji's group, i have been accusing many of them all this time of being friend lol...

Kanna manages to do the unthinkable and gains a force with which to counter "Friend's" threat to the Pope and Expo 2015. At the moment of greatest need Shogun appears and saves the day, but it seems he knows something that he is not willing to share with anyone else, so [as a ninja he is :) ] he vanishes from the stage in a same manner he came in.

On the other end Koizumi recognizes the new teacher and (for reasons of pure awkwardness and utter terror of ending up again in the "Friendly Land") ends up in his house where she is not clear what is going on. Until teacher reveals the location and why he brought her there.

There are so many twists here, that I do not want to ruin anyone's experience. We are at volume 10, we still do not know who "Friend" is but story is not dull for a second.

Art as always is gorgeous.

Highly recommended.

During my review of the last volume, I talked about how I was enjoying that the stories never neatly wrapped up, nor did Urasawa use traditional cliffhangers.

This volume changes that up as it ends with a textbook cliffhanger, as a major character learns something about themselves that will change the entire direction of the story. We also see the return of a character who I worried was written out (not killed, I just thought their use to the story might be over) in the previous volume.

If you like a long-form story that continues to surprise, even ten volumes in, I highly suggest picking this up, even if you're not usually "a manga person".
