This starts the series of fights going into the final battle. This arc was tough to read weekly, but this volume is pretty good and the mix of encounters works better here than going chapter by chapter. 

We get lots of the true protagonist, Ryoh Grantz, and everyone's got some comedy sprinkled around to lighten the mood a bit. There's some great art that highlights the crazy power of Innocent Zero.

I'm a little peeved about how the new divine visionaries were treated. Mostly because Sophina seems cool.
