The epic finale of Cell Saga and the start of the Buu saga is all here.

Gohan going Super Saiyan 2 is fucking legendary. It's one of the best moments in this series and anime. It's no different in the manga, as the young boy slaughters Cell jrs to prove just how powerful he is. Once they are handled he goes for Cell, who tries his best to fight back, but Gohan is just too damn powerful. Then we get the 7 year time skip and Enter Gohan in College (or high school?) and learning how to be a hero with a cape. The volume ends with Goku returning and a new tournament starts!

The first half is awesome. Epic fighting, great emotional moments, a truly worthy death, and more. It's everything you could want. The art is also great, as Toriyama is pushing his limits with the epic scale. The second half is just okay. Gohan is super cheesy here, the humor is missing a lot, and it doesn't feel very "grand". I do love VIdel though.

Overall, the first half is a 5 out of 5. Where's second half is 3 out of 5. Overall a 4 out of 5 for me.
