This was probably my favorite Vol. so far. Ending the mall arc the book starts off with some of the survivors from the mall on the roof being rescued by the military and then explaining what happened. Flashback to a few hours earlier and the story go's over how the zombies got into the mall and how the Takashi's group ended up saving most of them. At the end the few mall survivors left realize that through the entire event they were the ones acting like kids looking for others to do things for them while the highschools come out as the ones acting like adults. Sato sums it up nicely with the statement one of the survivors gives the military leader saying, "age doesn't mean a damn thing." The ones the that finally made a conscious decision to live ended up surviving those who were still in denial clinging to the pre-Zed ways ended up dying. This is not to say that everyone who fallows Takashi's group lives, they took some casualty's exiting the mall and for Kohta one was especially traumatic but the book ends with this so I will have to wait till the next vol. to find out how he deals with it. There are two extra chapters in the book this time. The first has Takashi reminiscing about one of his friends from school on the day before the zombies came where they compare who the sexiest girl in school is. The second extra section has some original concept art and an interview with Daisuke Sato and the artist Shouji Sato who talk about the book and other zombie things they like. Overall another good vol. and like I said probably my fave story wise so far with a good ending to the mall arc. . . well as good of an ending as you can have in a zombie apocalypse. ( )
