Credits Grade: 4 This review is of a review copy. The remaining Ghouls are safe, but it comes at a price, as there's no food.Despite having read the previous two volumes, I'm still clueless as to what's going on. The cast is quite large and the pages and scenes skip around a lot, so I have no idea who is who despite the cast listing at the front. I can't even sum up what's happening, and the blurb on the back doesn't help me. It doesn't help that I've not enjoyed or understood any volume I've read from this series. This one seems mostly like all the rest -- full of violent scenes that are difficult to follow, and a lot of characters and scene-jumping. The second chapter is just a sex scene between two characters. I was definitely not expecting that. Naked breasts are shown and a naked butt, but it's a long scene. And it's enough that I'm surprised this volume wasn't shrink-wrapped, though it is rated for "older teen". It's done pretty well, coming across as an intimate scene between these two, but also a new and uncertain moment. This also plays into something later, but the timeline seems too quick.
