Company 8 needs a person who can create their gadgets but when they go to Vulcan (the engineer) home they are met with...resistance.

This is fun to watch Arthur, Shinra, and Iris go on a trip together. Seeming them gives a lot of good comedy bits to make this volume a ton of fun. On top of that Vulcan is a interesting character with a reason why he hates the fire force that makes sense. When the fighting begins it is Arthur who gets to show off why he's one of the best. With some of the coolest fight scenes so far. Shinra also gets time to shine.

This volume is action packed and really funny at points. I'm a bit confused on why people seem to not like this anime much. I think besides some silly fan service bra and panty shots, this is a really fun, well put together, character driven series. Helps the fights kickass too.

A 4 out of 5.
