Mania Grade: B
Art Rating: A-
Packaging Rating: B+
Text/Translation: B
Age Rating: 13+
Released By: Yen Press
MSRP: 10.99
Pages: 192
ISBN: 978-0759528871
Size: A5
Orientation: Left to Right
When you figure in one chapter that ends on a really weak note and another that I just didn't find that interesting, I'm kinda underwhelmed by this release in comparison to the all-around-better fifth volume. That doesn't mean that I don't think fans of the series should bother with this volume, especially if they'll get more out of the slice-of-life third chapter than I do: the first story is certainly worthwhile, and Lee's artistic direction is consistently strong throughout the volume. It does mean, though, that I can't recommend it quite as warmly as last time.
