Goodreads Synopsis:

When alien Neighbors invade, sci-fi action is right next door.

Destroy thy Neighbor! Gates to another dimension 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.

Another invasion is underway, and alien country Galopoula plans to infiltrate Border HQ. The A-Rank and B-Rank agents have their hands full on the ground, but the commotion outside is only a distraction! A handful of humanoid Neighbors manage to sneak their way into Border’s away ship hangar, and it’s up to the top four Attackers to stop them!

Review:

There's a lot of fighting in this volume. Fighting out in the streets, fighting in battle rooms; fighting creatures, fighting other people. I would say it's violent and bloody, but about half-way through this volume, I realized I really have no idea how the fighting works in this series. They're like cutting each other up, and yet they're still fine? But then maybe they're not fine? I don't really get it?

I was having a hard time following what was happening, and who was on which side, and how exactly the fight was going...

Anyway, near the end of the volume, it looked like the main plot was finally moving forward, so we'll see in the next volume.
