Goodreads Synopsis:
The residents of G Ward
band together to confront Warden Tamaki’s Ninben, man-made Deadmen
created through horrific human experimentation. Ganta’s friend Azami was
turned into one of the Ninben during a Carnival Corpse show and lost
her mind. He’ll do all he can to save her, but at what cost? And if
things weren’t bad enough already, Ganta’s friends desert him as a
traitor!
Review:
Oddly enough, the
theme for this volume seemed to be Friendship.
Ganta has pushed
away his last friend so they don’t have to suffer, while his others turn on
him. Then, for some reason, he’s grown very close to Azami, who’s being forced
into the ninben mask and killing people. I don’t really see the friendship they
have, but I guess they feel it. I do find Azami interesting, though. Her
backstory is very interesting, and I do like her as a character.
Shiro is the real
hero here, as far as I’m concerned. While I’m still worried about what's hiding
inside her, that she doesn’t even know about it, she’s stand out as a person
and a friend. All the worries and problems other people have, they just don’t
touch her. She only cares about her friends, a.k.a. Ganta. She’s the real
reason he gets out of anything okay, including with his friends.
There’s another
cliffhanger here, of course. It introduces some possibly interesting
characters, but with the main cast in a very bad place. I’m intrigued. But I’m
mostly just enjoying the horrors and odd heartfelt moments of this series.
I’m looking forward
to the next one.
