Volume five has cool illustrations. The story gets more intense with each episode. It’s nice that it’s new and in good condition, but the pages feel a little thin. Worth checking out if you’re already into the series.

Купила это комикс по совету подруги. Интересная история с реальными героями. Обложка норм, а страницы крепкие. Читала на выходных – развлечение получилось неплохое. Есть небольшой недостаток: немного не та цена, как я думала раньше.
