Goodreads Synopsis:

It’s time for a new generation of Ultraman!

Decades ago, a being known as the Giant of Light joined together with Shin Hayata of the Science Special Search Party to save Earth from an invasion of terrifying monsters called Kaiju. Now, many years later, those dark days are fading into memory, and the world is at peace. But in the shadows a new threat is growing, a danger that can only be faced by a new kind of hero—a new kind of Ultraman…

Shinjiro, Moroboshi, Hokuto, Jack, Taro, and even Shin Hayata—the first Ultraman—have all come together in New York City for the ultimate showdown with the forces of the Star of Darkness! Can Moroboshi’s brother be saved? Will the idol Rena Sayama make it through this all-out battle? And what is the Star of Darkness’s ultimate plan? The winners will know the answers…

Review:

This volume centers around a truly terrible brother relationship. Two brothers who were hurt and separated, and are now faced with each other again. Only one of them has change completely, and can't be saved.

The Ultramen are fighting real monsters now, and it's destroying everything around them. It's getting dangerous and violent, and there's only so much they can do to help at this point. The ending looks like there's only more trouble coming, and it's surely not going to be getting better.
