Dark humor and quirky horror unite in this tale of clashing heroes and monsters from the creator of Tokyo Ghoul and Tokyo Ghoul: re Best friends Tokio and Azuma do everything together, even if most of the time it feels like Tokio is just stumbling along in Azuma's cooler, more talented footsteps. But when they're attacked one night by a superhuman mutant called a choujin, Tokio finally has a chance to shine--by turning into a choujin himself Tokio, Ely, and Azuma might be on a tropical island, but it's about as far from a vacation as you can get. They're there to undergo all kinds of intense training from the keepers of Yamato Mori to improve their choujin skills. Before they can make much headway, renegade choujin crash their training and try to kidnap one of the three for their mysterious boss While their teachers bear the brunt of the attack, can Tokio and his friends protect themselves when they can't even control their powers yet?
While some time on a beach may sound relaxing, Tokio, Azuma, and Ely must fight to survive on their island training grounds. In the middle of training to improve their choujin skills, the trio and their Yamato Mori keepers are taken by surprise by enemies wanting one of the trainees powers. Through smoke, the dead has risen, and even the teachers are having a rough time taking in the surprise combatants. Can Tokio and his friends protect themselves and everyone else when they're still learning to control their powers?
The artwork keeps getting more and more beautiful, there are bold thick lines, but there are also beautiful sketchy scenes that are somehow imperfect, yet polished at the same time. Especially one panel at the end that I cannot explain or it would be a major spoiler, but I will say, not all mothers are kind.
This was a relatively quick read because there was a lot, and I do mean a lot, of action. There was quite a bit of plot revealed too, and we are now left with a cliffhanger. I can not wait to read in volume 6!
