This felt like a filler/transition volume to me. It was okay, and I can see the growing pains and struggle of certain characters to transition to their new lifestyle, sort of, but I'm still a tiny bit underwhelmed with this series.

(Contains light spoilers.)

Since the old man has pretty much taken himself out of the picture, that leaves Koichi and Pop to themselves. Supposedly this means Koichi will be forced to take a more lead role, but I don't see that happening at this point.
For most of this volume, Pop and Koichi are off at a mascot event out of town. During this innocuous event, there's some drug smuggling in which undercover cops and heroes are helping out with. Pop and Koichi miss most of this, though they do get caught in the wreckage.
This was a fun volume. It's always neat to see the heroes from the main series show up here, and how it might connect. There wasn't much plot progression, but it was still fun.


A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!

adventurous funny
Good and bad in this volume. Too many sexual predators. But really strange, stylish, cinematic, ironic action sequences. And new applications of Koichi’s quirk! And Fat Gum!
