This action packed volume picks up with the kids trying to stop Medusa and her minions before they can free the Kishin and his madness. Medusa faces off with Stein and Spirit, almost completely unbalancing Stein’s fragile sanity. He’s just looking for excuses to dissect someone.
Maka and Soul have to face Crona and the demon sword. Maka has been infected by the black blood madness, sinking in deep as she tries to react Crona’s tormented soul. Black Star, Tsubaki, Kid, Patti and Liz are all after Eruka and Free trying to stop them before they can infect the Kishin with the black blood.
This volume really hits its stride. The art begins to settle down and mature some and the storytelling is solid. This is a manga that takes a bit to get going but by this point the mangaka has found his voice. It’s well worth looking up.
The anime is still following the books so far so that's good.
The fight has started. Eruka and Free are trying to release the kishin asura while the students are trying to keep it locked up. Maka is still trying to defeat crona while death the kid and black star go up against free and eruka.
On to the next book.

Big battles, big action, but quieter character moments as well. The artwork is beautiful. The ideas and story are excellent. Another fabulous volume in an awesome series.

Once again a very good manga. I like the characters of this manga. I can't wait to read more and see what will happen.
Encore une fois un très bon manga. J'aime bien les personnages de ce manga. J'ai hâte de lire la suite et de voir ce qui se produira.
Spoiler
I was expecting a little bit more at the end, but I was secretly hoping it would happen otherwise.Encore une fois un très bon manga.

Je m'attendais légèrement à la fin, mais j'espérais secrètement que ça se produise autrement.

And so ends the First Kishin revival story arc, as short as it was. Surprising for a shonen manga these days to pretty much wrap up a major story arc in less than five volumes, but there ya go; then again, Ohkubo has always been good at subverting the tropes of the genre, especially the annoying genre of really superfluously long battles. And it is not a bad conclusion but it does feel rushed, even by Ohkubo's standards. Still, it is a pretty solid character-driven volume that has its moments of genuine drama, and the ending foretells an even greater story arc over the horizon.
