Goodreads Synopsis:
Sci-fi action series where Osamu and his alien friend team up with their pals to fight off invading aliens.
Destroy thy Neighbor! A gate to another dimension has burst open, and invincible monsters called Neighbors invade Earth. Osamu Mikumo may not be the best among the elite warriors who co-opt other-dimensional technology to fight back, but along with his Neighbor friend Yuma, he’ll do whatever it takes to defend life on Earth as we know it.
After being crushed in their last Rank Wars match and Jin refusing Osamu's request to join their squad, Tamakoma-2 is at a loss. Osamu is determined to learn how to fight with his team using his limited Trion and gets help from an unexpected source. But with a prediction of another invasion looming overhead, training may have to wait.

Review:
The main three is dealing with the defeat of the last volume. They
have big goals of going on an away mission, and Osamu thinks they
need a fourth member on their team. He believes they need to get
better quick, because Kuga only has so much time. While he attempts
to recruit, the others continue their training.
At the same time, Jin and another group are preparing for the
impending invasion. They're not sure when or what will happen, but
they know that something is coming. Jin is their best weapon here,
because he can see it coming beforehand.
Honestly, I'm not sure why the main three are so determined to go on
an away mission, when it seems like the aliens are coming to them,
and that seems like an easier way to get where they need to go.
I don't mind reading this series, but it's not something I would read
on my own. It very much feels like a more complicated Cartoon Network
cartoon, with similar artwork and humor. I don't mind it, but meh.
