As a search-and-rescue party is now deep into the hunt for survivors, another young life has fallen seemingly from the hands of another. Tensions are high, but Mizuki feels she may have found brief solace in old acquaintance Haruaki. But her trust may soon be betrayed once again, when he reveals who may be behind murders since the bus crash, potentially driving the pair further into darkness.

I thought the pacing was way off on this installment. The previous volumes did a great job building incredible tension and a sense of fear. Who will die next? Who is killing off the surviving students of the tragic bus crash? This threw it all away by revealing the murderer in a dump of chaotic pages that made no sense. I'm the killer! And I'm going to KILL ALL OF YOU AND BURN YOU UP!! So I can go home alone! The motivation and big reveal were so disappointing.
I like that a lot of things were getting close to wrapping up in this volume, and that things will end with the next volume, not because it is a bad series, but it is better than dragging it out, it is not a series/storyline that lends itself to being dragged out. Looking forward to the final volume though.
Oh my god, this is just so good! I’m loving every bit of it. The next book is the last and I’m so excited, but I also can’t believe that it went by so fast (as I read most of them in one night).
It’s so violent and dark. We’re seeing so much more of these people, such darker sides, than I thought we would. It’s so intense! I love it!
I can’t believe Hinata. It’s horrible and I’m so upset, and I’m dreading what’ll happen to him in the next volume. All of these characters are just making bad, hurried, terrified decision after decision, and it’s horrible. It makes me frustrated and sad, and I kind of want to cry for them.
I suppose I don’t have a lot to say, because I don’t want to spoil everything, since talking about pretty much any of it will spoil everything.
The next volume is going to be so good, and possibly really horrible, and I’m dreading it and so excited at the same time. I’m sad for it, because I know bad things are coming. But at the same time, hopefully something good will come of it?
After four different female characters getting featured on the cover, in the fifth series Suenobu put up a male one. Recently "revived" from "death" during the first three volumes, apparently Hinata Haruaki must show up with a big bang. Beside being a mysterious personality to all surviving characters but Konno Mizuki, readers must try to guess Hinata's own motive when he failed to tell others that rescue team is coming their way.
Hmm... Jujur gara-gara gap antara 1 volume dengan volume lainnya rada panjang, saya jadi agak lupa cerita sebelumnya. Khususnya soal nama. Saya bener-bener lupa siapa yang mana :))
Tapi untungnya di volume ini ada beberapa kilas balik yang membantu saya untuk mengingat kembali apa yang terjadi. Di sini juga rahasia mulai terungkap. Jadi penasaran bagaimana ceritanya akan berakhir.
