This volume is a nice step up from the last volume. This time we go to ALOT of present day, year 2000, stuff. I loved most of it.

The majority of the volume revolves around Shogun. He is one of Kenji's best friends growing up. You do get some nice glimpse into the past, into when they're kids, and it's nice to see that contrasted compared to now. However it's the modern day stuff that keeps this volume interesting and excited. A few new people introduced, some sad results, and I won't spoil it, but this one got me a bit emotional and I just met these damn characters haha.

On the flipside we get a bit more into the "Friends" and see their planning. The part dedicated to them building the robot is unnerving. It's funny at times but the "threats" bring it back down to horrifying and anything can go wrong. You see just how powerful the friends are and by the end you really feel some bad shit is coming.

This might become one of the best mangas of all time for me. Most volumes have been great, and I really hope it continues.
