I thought that his brother will show up in volume 6 or something

Once again this manga was fine. I'm starting to love the story more and more. The end is really intriguing so I can't wait to read the next one. I like the characters of Seth and Mélie. Doc is also pretty funny. I am becoming more and more attached to the characters.

Une fois de plus ce manga était très bien. Je commence de plus en plus à aimer l'histoire. De plus, la fin est vraiment intrigante donc j'ai hâte de lire le prochain. J'aime bien les personnages de Seth et Mélie. Doc aussi est plutôt rigolo. Je m'attache de plus en plus aux personnages.

ENG
Ok, the whole thing was kind of weak but the cliffhanger tho? Didn't see that one coming. At least now I'm intrigued enough to carry on with the series but oh my god, it's flawed.

FR
Le tome était pas terrible mais le twist de fin? Je l'ai grave pas vu venir. Au moins je suis assez intriguée pour continuer la série, mais franchement, elle est pas terrible.

En medio del caos provocado por Hameline tras desatar una plaga de Némesis Eco sobre la ciudad, Seth vive una intensa batalla contra el capitán Konrad de Maburgo mientras Melie y Doc consiguen escapar de su jaula gracias al misterioso Grim. Un vistazo a la verdadera historia del pasado revelará toda la oscura verdad tras las intenciones de Hameline que cambiará el curso de los acontecimientos.

Espectaculares escenas de batallas que inundan la retina, poderosos power-ups dignos del mismísimo Goku, fuerte componente político-social y un toque de humor poco convencional para rebajar la violencia e intensidad del conflicto. El único fallo que encuentro al volumen es que el flashback se vuelve demasiado lento con respecto al resto, aunque es importante para la historia y ampliar el universo de Radiant.

Puede sonar repetitivo, pero el dibujo de Tony Valente es de los mejores que he visto en un shônen. Esta claro que trabajar a su propio ritmo y sin asistente, tiene bastante que ver, pero su cuidado por todos los detalles y diseños es admirable.

Ehh, I get Hameline's frustration. Y’know two wrongs do not make a right, but it’s so easy for the majority to tell the minority ones not to fight back. Anyway, Radiant is getting increasingly slapstick/juvenile with its humor (i.e wiener, pee, Konrad-kiss jokes). However, I checked out every volume up to 9 from the library, so onward we go!

Okay, Inquisition Captain Dragunov is so clearly designed to be the cool, anti-hero or dude with his own set of morals. Don’t know too much about him, but I find him (and Grimm) intriguing. That is one of my absolute favorite character arch-types, so it is not hard to see why I like him more than the others.

ending spoilers:
It would have added a nice weight if Doc stayed dead, but him having a molt infection is fine as well. I am not feeling anything for Melie despite the flashback to her past. Also, super surprised that we were introduced to Seth’s brother so quickly.
