Okay I bored during a lot of this volume compared to the last two, there was a lot of politics and it was starting to get really confusing, but the last quarter of the volume really pulled up my rating of the book. I loved the art in volume 1 and 2 but the art in this volume tops all of it, the attention to detail even in massive scenes makes Neo-Tokyo feel gritty and real. Every volume so far has ended with an even more cataclysmic event but this one takes the cake.

I'm glad that this is going well beyond the movie adaptation.
