Rai is slowly becoming more human, and in a sense, that's making me more interested in the series.

So the last volume ends with Rai saying he wants to kill "Father". Father is basically like the all mighty creator of robots in this series. So with Rai turning his back on this asshole, and assembling a group to help him, it's time to take the fight to the big bad. This volume also gives more time for each team member to grow and learn. Some stories more interesting than others but the way this volume tightly gives a single path story that will have them all come together while enough breathing area to give time for each one, it's a pretty unique combo.

Good: I really dug Rai's slow transformation. Coming to terms of who Father really is and kind of feel sad for the poor dude. Also the fights in this one are less but no less badass. The art also seems different, more cartoony, but I like it that way. The ending is downright fucked up and again, leaving you with a cliffhanger, of where it could go next.

Bad: The exposition, while not as heavy as the first volume, is still very much there. Lots of talk of livewire, and how to take down Japan, and some stories told here aren't as interesting as Rai's or another unique robot trying to live with her bomb making maker.

Rai is getting better and it's unique feel and speak to the world of Robots/AI is fun. So interesting I'm reading this and Pluto at the same time. Robots are everywhere! BE AWARE PEOPLE! But no, this is getting good. A 3.5 out of 5.
