A solid ending to the story. The art was incredible though a little grotesque. I don't know if I would recommend this series to many people, but I appreciated it overall.

A postmodern masterpiece that comments on the hopelessness but great potential of the human condition. Everything is a cycle and ends up at the beginning, again.

WOW! That was on epic story. If you read any manga, let it be this one. This story has everything. Action, sci-fi and even romance.

strangely didn't have the same impact on my as previous volumes! this volume was kind of a repetition of events that have already happened, nothing really new occurred. same fights with tetsuo and others. though there were some powerful moments, where tetsuos powers are out of his control, some really affecting panels (tetsuo is an interesting character I have always felt a lot of sympathy for him). still, the explanation of the origin of the powers didn't really land with me, I'm a bit confused and a bit disappointed?? the ending was kinda interesting tho. idk, this one didn't have many moments of impact with me which sucks bc it's the last volume! it was action action action, which I don't love all the time, bc it gets repetitive. 
bit sad to have finished this series! and a bit sad also because I was expecting a bit more from this volume
