Kikoru, for example, is cut and pasted from every ‘teenager with a big weapon’ manga ever, but she’s cool, keeping Kafka’s secret, and not romantically interested in an old dude, so good enough! And the woman Kafka loves sure wouldn’t accept him if she knew he was a kaiju, so that’s going to be a thing. OH MY GOODNESS TO THAT CLIFFHANGER!! I don't even know what to think because :o :o :o :o!!! I'm scared and nervous about what will happen in volume six, but surely everything will be okay?!?! And if the characters weren’t exactly highlighted here, they did enough getting us to like them before to make us care about all the flashes and bangs and pretty explosions. Which seems like a big ‘well duh’, but this combination doesn’t happen nearly as often as you’d suspect.
