in this volume we get to see shogun’s true identity and go deeper on how his life went like the one he is living now. the fight scenes were beyond expectations! i feel like reading an action manga. urasawa might as well put more actions into it and itd become invincible. love kenji’s character growth. bro rlly becomes a man who does whats necessary to save their world.

more and more characters introductions. and more suspects. it’s kinda hard for my little brain actually. one thing that makes this manga addictive is the strategic placement of character introductions. its plot-wise is unbeatable. shogun's introduction in the last chapter with the ambiguity of his identity keeps me hooked to read on.

more to say, kenji is one of great manga protagonists. his depiction of character is truly human. before, he was just an ordinary man who lived his mundane life as a manager of convenience store. now he is said to be the one who can save the world, but can he? he has to face the burden of losing his home and doubled with stopping that menace called “friend”.
