REVIEW
As always, the volume began where the other left off, giving quick access to such an interestingly action packed story. Although, I do believe this would be better translated in an animated show rather than the still pages of a manga.
Following the capture of Gojo, the protagonists of the story are trying to solve the problem at hand and aide Gojo’s eventual release from the prison realm. It is quite intriguing how the artifact, despite being extremely powerful, has been overwhelmed by Gojo’s ability. At this point, I am not at all fazed by any new deliverance of information that regards Gojo’s powers. He is otherworldly and it is surprising that he even was caught.
There is an insane amount of events within this volume that I fear there wouldn’t be any other situation that’ll shock me anymore. I am mesmerized with Geto’s capacity to plan; however, I still find his precariousness rather shaky. You’d think that his meticulous planning will already see any possible situation of downfall and work his way around it, but no, that is not the case. I see this as a positive, in that it demonstrates the reality of these characters.
What I love most about the book is how it gave a long focus on the antagonists of the story. I guess you can assume that it is quite the case in most of the volumes in this manga series. Despite that, I still find it enjoyable. Moreover, I adore the way the situations are being laid out by the tactical planning of the characters—how the moments are being described as the characters think their way through the events.
The amount of revelations within this single volume, the action that keeps you on your feet, and all the unraveled potential of characters are extremely fun to read yet this, still, wasn’t one of my favourite volume to read. It felt like it lacked any real substance as it gave the entire focus on retrieving Gojo from the artifact. I believe that a shaky plot is to be expected in serial books, yet I still wanted a little more from it.
