This volume opens up with Kafka still fighting Isao. It's really a test, Isao wanting to see if Kafka can control himself in Kaiju form when fully on the verge of dying. Entertaining battle, easy to follow, and pretty brutal at points. We then get thrown into Gen and his team, and this little weirdo is highly entertaining. However, the newest big bad shows up and he might have the big advantage. Mireles, Antonio (January 3, 2021). "Fandom Post Manga of the Year Awards 2020". Fandom Post.
