5.0

I really, REALLY don't want to say anything about this volume due to spoilers, but I will say this: this volume felt like Yuji Kaku was slugging me in the stomach with a metal bat with "feels" written on it every other chapter. Take with that as you will.

So, final thoughts on this series; this was a really solid and surprisingly emotional shounen series. The lore was fascinating and well-explained, the action was intense, fluid, and fun, the characters were great, and the monster designs were INCREDIBLE. I had a fuck-ton of fun reading and devoured every volume despite the admittedly dense exposition scenes. I fell in love with almost everyone and especially for our merry band of misfits and convicts. The art was stellar, especially (again) with the monster designs, but the character designs were great as well. The setting and atmosphere were strong and enhanced the dread and desperation our crew felt trying to complete their mission(s). The only criticism I will level is that something happened toward the end that I didn't like because I feel like it ruined an heartbreaking emotional moment, but it wasn't enough to spoil the ending so I'm not too upset.

In short, this was a phenomenal series that I had a lot of fun reading. I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a quick, action-packed and emotional shounen read.
