[Review of volumes 5-7]

I think the largely drawn and badly focused panels mostly fail to deliver impact. It emphasizes a lot of unnecessary scenes without really much substance to back them up. Moreover, the dialogue and narrative flow also seemed to be written lazily. Combining all of these, emotional scenes fall flat. Everything just seems half-hearted. However, some characters are pretty cool and the hype keeps this going so there is that.

I'm actually not okay after finishing this volume, lol. There were so many emotions on display, and so, so (TOO) much happens in this (what felt like a) tiny volume! Like Kikoru, I'm still in disbelief with the director general being fused with Kaiju No. 9, I'm deeply upset that my husband Kafka can't be in the Special Defense Force (maybe???? I mean, they've been trying to kick him out forever, lol) anymore, and I was very intrigued at my other husband Soshiro being offered No. 10 from the kaiju itself, and if THAT wasn't enough, Reno has the most potential to take No. 6's power??????


I'm going to be reeling from this series/volume for a while!
