Disappointing.
There’s been such a nice run of interesting stories in this series lately, but this one was a real letdown.
The gang runs out of gas in the mountains and Takemina and Izuna set out to find some help. But along the way, they discover a new horror in “Horror Mansion of the Dead”. Then Akira reflects on life and happiness in “Happiness of the Dead”.
The first storyline was so boring. Loved the idea of following Takemina and Izuna, but they really didn’t get much of a story. It’s a slasher story ripped right from a horror movie, but there aren’t any interesting twists. Super basic plot with no real surprises.
Also includes sexualized violence, which is not my thing.
Some fan service in this volume as well.
“Happiness of the Dead” was cute and had some really nice moments. But it wasn’t enough to save this volume.
Least favorite story since “Cruiser of the Dead”. Hope the next one is better.
