Happiness, Vol. 5 by Shuzo Oshimi
5.0

Goddamn this series gets dark.

I'm actually surprised how surprised I get reading this. I usually can see most things coming but the twist and turns here are so out of left field I never do see it coming. I mean it moves at a brisk pace, and just when you think you found a friend, something horrible happens. I'm being extremely vague because anything I say for this volume is a spoiler, but with a neat little time skip, plenty of death, and sadness, this is well worth the read if you like darker tales. A 4.5 out of 5.
