Book 243 of the year.
There was a more serious tone to this volume and I actually really liked that. All the chapters flowed together nicely. I also really liked how almost all of the characters were used throughout it. And that ending...I was shocked. I think I sat there staring at the last page for a couple of minutes. Now I will impatiently wait for the next volume to become available at my library.
Well, damn! This is definitely heavier content than I'm used to from this series. I'm not sure how it successfully made the transition from gallows humour to social commentary to a touching ending (and then the cliffhanger about Damian's mom's inner monologue, whaaat?) but considering this series has consistently delivered humour, violence and sweet family moments, this is really just kicking those components up a notch. 1/2
This one had me laughing out loud and giggling maniacally while my husband was trying to fall asleep so yeah, I was entertained and unapologetic about it. 😬 This story about a spy, an assassin, their telepathic daughter, and a dog who can see the future (the daughter being the only one who knows all this) just keeps getting better and better. Think you don‘t like manga? This one might just change your mind. I can‘t get enough!
