木原唯一が放った一〇〇人を超える上里勢力の少女たち。
圧倒的劣勢の中、上条当麻の反撃が始まる――！
大熱波が去り、復旧モードの学園都市。そこは、通信インフラが寸断された混乱の影響で、『警備員（ルビ：アンチスキル）』達さえ手綱の握れぬ無法地帯となっていた。
そんな学園都市を、上里翔流帰還を信じる『上里勢力』の少女たちが、自由気ままに暴れ回る！
追跡のエキスパート『辿り屋』絵恋、直接戦闘を得意とする変幻自在の海賊少女の琉華、ネットを駆使して大衆を操る幽霊少女の冥亞……。木原唯一に『右手』を盾にされ、上条当麻抹殺を命じられた彼女達だが、その芯は変わらない。想い人を取り戻す。その信念ゆえに突き進む。
全てを賭して襲い来る少女達から逃走する上条。彼の味方は、『上里勢力』からたった一人ついてきたＵＦＯ少女・府蘭だけだった。
しかし、間違ってはいけない。
この劣勢状況下こそ、上条当麻の真髄が発揮される時。
さあ、上里翔流を救え。
彼女達の哀しい暴走を止め、この争いに終止符を打つために。

Okay......... That's it? WHAT MUCH SHIT WAS THIS!? I was mentally preparing myself and connecting all my enchantments to protect my sanity, but in the end it was just ok/good volume!? WTF!? I can't understand how this would aesthetically configure itself as a bad volume (Of course, if we take away the fun and just consider the aesthetics).
The writing here is decent and the story doesn't get as boring as in the previous volume. Some rational strategies and plans are put in here... Nothing is terribly smart or a plot twist that elevates the screenplay's status, but it's still enough to make some small impact. The configuration of the battle is strange, but not negligible when it comes to aesthetic terms.
The action scenes aren't well done, as Kamachii still seems to have some problem dealing with the Kamisato faction and the exorbitant amount of chess pieces on the board, but still, they aren't bad.
Kamijou Touma here is used again as a stone to break certain arguments and at the same time sharpen the blade of each character's wisdom. As I said, nothing impressive shows up here, but it still has its impact.... The problem here is that the worded words are for Kamisato's Harem, and because its members are much more symbolism than characters actually explored, the reader's affection for them is certainly not the best, but it's a few small settings in the dialogues that still make this volume enjoyable (for me at least), but still lacking in depth.
.
.
Later, certain plot twists linked to connectivity appear and minimally do a better job than volume 16, in addition to honoring the true despair that an apocalypse should bring, as well as the complex and hypocritical feelings that we should have in a situation like that. Still, even if it seems hypocritical, the moral precepts acquired until then must still be preserved, even if the environment is not ready to receive such kindness. It is the juncture of small actions that makes the change, and this volume demonstrates this well while allowing despair to reign.
I mean, we have some narrative issues here like how severely and inappropriately the responsible adults here seem to act (worthy of an apocalypse? Well, it's still underexplored), yet lacking narrative embellishment to them.
Psychological warfare here is often exchanged for a light slice of comedy, which got me a few small laughs (Luca Loli almost made me laugh madly). In addition, we have an information war that combines not only with the apocalyptic scenario, but also with the conspiratorial distortion that the work always brought. Of course, sometimes it really turns out to be pretty boring, but it's interesting to see the author exploring the various points of the topic, and more broadly, the commas or ramifications of them.
The play with information of offering multiple points of view and causing pressure linked to despair was a little pleasant to read. The way all of this is handled on the dense metropolitan scale is very creative, beyond the bubble metaphors and so on.
It turned out to be a decent combination between an apocalyptic state in correction with the communication vehicles and the small manipulative groups.
Some plans here border slightly on the process of the unthinkable, mostly as they settle on amplifying the world's absurdity and bringing dystopia, but luckily Kamachii is a man who still has a lot to put down on paper, so he'll be bothered to explain some strange actions of certain characters (I'd like that in NT15), mainly, the manipulable harem of Kamisato.
In the past, even if it's better than its predecessor volume, it doesn't mean it was a fun volume either, since some descriptions here seem to lack some information, not to mention some conveniences in the script, which are presented here a little more strongly than usual. and because it wasn't a good enough volume, these slightly lacking conveniences and descriptions ended up marking me more.... I mean, maybe it's something of a lack of textual interpretation on my part? I don't know, but it wasn't so pleasant to read when these parts appeared
Finally, I'm a little annoyed at the end of the Kamisato harem, but happy with the handler's resolve of those crazy bitches, obviously talking about Kakeru..... Seriously, I would like Kamachii to give them a little punishment after their heinous acts in this one volume. Well, I guess because your harem isn't well developed, I can't alleviate my criticisms as well as mad Othinus, but still, it doesn't change your ways.
EXTRA COMMENT 1: Damn, it seems like some people love to force themselves to be stupid, don't they? Or was it just me being dumb? Well, the point here is that I saw some people talking about how it is forced Kamisato Kakeru to have gathered over 100 girls since his World Rejector manifested, in about 3 days, or also how they say that Kamisato gathers so much information in just 3 days is extremely far-fetched and would be a hole in the script, so criticize me if I'm wrong, but...... In NT14 it says that World Rejector manifested in about 1-2 months, but that Kamisato he only noticed this about 3 days before he invaded the academic city (or was getting ready to invade), so since Kamisato has such extensive contact with a lot of girls, mainly Karasuma Fran, it wouldn't be too difficult to imagine how he managed all this.
In short, if the time option is between 1-2 months, it is not at all configured as a hole in the script, but if it is between 3 days, yes, it is indefensible, it would be a hole in the script (I am ALMOST SURE of I read 1-2 months but I could be wrong)
EXTRA COMMENT 2: A little question... How can the harem girls of Kamisato forget about Kamijou, the one who fought the whole world for Othinus? I mean, the notice got around a lot, and it makes me think almost as if the NT10 didn't even exist….. Given the gigantic scale that the Othinus arc had been, I think it configures like a hole in the script. A little disappointed in the author.................................................. ........................................................... ...................................... I decided to do some research thinking about the possibility that since Aleister controls the information and Kamisato was POSSIBLY going to the academic town in the middle of the Othinus arc, if we push it a little bit, it's valid that the girls don't know much about Touma, so it probably doesn't seem like a hole in the script.
EXTRA COMMENT 3: I really liked Karasuma Fran and her development/plot twists.... LITTLE SPOILER: Damn, so with Tsuchimikado she finally got someone who understands her? At least this part is well written.

This was way too long. I despise Karasuma Fran, worst character in the series. Were it not for the extremely unhinged action sections, this volume would be 1/10. Worst volume in the series.
