• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

I was going to give this one a 3 as it drug a bit for me and just felt like more of the same throughout, which was a premise of hide and seek / tag. The ending really picked up though and the mystery of Akira is starting to clear up bit by bit.

Also it ends with a bang!

Plus the arrival of a character I had completely forgotten about throughout the entire volume

. I’d also like to mention the art is phenomenal. Some of the splash pages are so well done!

Overall very solid and excited to continue the series.
