I am so mad at the choices that were made in this volume that I am just.... devastated about the outcome. I didn't want this happen. I am just torn apart right now. What a way to make readers feel loss and hopeless. If that was the goal, it was successfully done in this volume. I can't rate it anything higher than a 3.5 because of how sad I feel. The art and writing was done very well as always. I know this was not a "happily ever after" comic series but seriously. Damn. Whewww. Do I want to continue?? Bravo to the creators for making the reader feel for the characters and to snatch them from us at a blink of page.
