*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

Marin and Satoru’s run away is foiled and they are separated once again. Satoru visits Monroe who is now self aware and in danger of being demolished.

Trigger warning for dog death and some gory violence.

Now with the kids apart, the focus is now on Monroe and what it’s learning. And what it’s learning isn’t… Great. It’s not the worst humanity has to offer but it certainly isn’t the best. I honestly did not expect the level of violence in this volume since the others never went there. Marin’s parents are their usual useless selves so chalk up another trigger warning for attempted sexual assault and generally shitty parenting. 4 out of 5.

*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

After electing to under go transfloration and acquiring strange abilities, Kamia makes the decision to make the best of the remaining two years of his life and find real meaning, declining to aid Hourai in investigating a series of murders committed by a spiriflor.

I have to admit, a murder mystery was not where I’d expected this to go but it’s very interesting. It’s already been established that these plants still retain some semblance of consciousness since Kamia can communicate with them but they’re not supposed to be able to move, much less hunt down victims to kill. They have mentioned a possibility of a mutation of some kind but ugh. No wonder there’s a movement against this procedure. And the design of the creature reminds me of Ajin. I like it. 3 out of 5.

Lenni Reviews: “Jungle Juice” Vol. 3, by Hyeong Eun & Juder

*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.

After dealing with Breeder and his cohorts, Nest is preparing for an all out war with the shady organization called Pet Shop. To try and find out more about them, Nest decides to hold a tournament to select the best freshman to be scouts.

The tournament is a decent plot point but it’s clearly designed to have more fun powers on display and get to know the cast more, and it does the job. The cast is diverse and interesting enough and the stakes are high enough to keep things exciting so, this volume flies by. There’s a bit of fanservice but the action is awesome. this series really shines in it’s fight scenes. 4 out of 5.
