4.0

This volume really built on the strengths of the first 2. We get a glimpse of the wider events happening across Japan, and it is not looking good.

Hideo and Hiromi join a large group of people heading up Mt Fuji to a high elevation. A rumor has been going around that the thin air and cold weather will kill the virus... nothing could go wrong right?

With the escalating chaos around Japan, Hideo and Hiromi encounter more potentially violent situations, but Hideo, remaining true to his character, continues to be hesitant to use his gun, and continues to try to follow all the laws he can.

For people wishing the series has more action this volume introduces some plot lines that I think promise to deliver some dramatic action sequences.

I personally think the dynamic between Hideo and Hiromi continues to be cute an endearing, amidst the horror of their situation. There is a third character which enters the group dynamic I am not as wild about, as I think he throws off the dynamic, but I am intrigued to see where things go. The volume ends with some major developments, as we see other groups of survivors coming up with their own schemes.
