These things happening to them can totally happen.

First the went to ignorance but slowly they are getting proven that it is really their world.

5 stars

Hana's arc and the Spring Team have vastly grown on me. I loved them in this volume and was fully invested in their storyline. Spring B Team being comprised of outliers and the rejects of society was such a SHOCK! I was not expecting that at all. Honestly, chapter 5 was just constant plot twists and it had me gooped and gagged. The last two chapters in this volume aren't as strong as the previous, but the introspection and the quotes are haunting and hit me deeply.

"Losing a beloved person, or losing a precious dream. Which one is heavier?"

Welp, our teams are slowly finding out that this new world is not an illusion, and that they are truly in Japan. I did feel sorry for them finding it out, it must have been quite a shock. I would probably also scream and cry if I saw landmarks broken and sunk below the sea. I wasn't happy that that dude was still around but we do find out why (and boy, warning for you all if you can't handle the gore don't read this one, especially not while eating dinner :P). I did like that we switched between Summer Team B and Spring Team. See things happen from two perspectives. See how the world has turned out to be. We also meet a ton of new creepy crawlers. NOPE NOPE NOPE.
BTW, I guess I wouldn't have been chosen for the program. With my allergies, and my other health stuff. I am not sure how I feel about it. On the one hand I wouldn't want to survive in this situation, on the other hand I would love a chance.

the man can't be that important??

I hate first scene that Yanagi die. It was so gross. But when he fired up himself, I just felt really hurt inside. In this volume, I could find a development of Natsu. First, she couldn’t say anything when she was uncomfortable, but she could say “Please don’t touch me” to Semi-Maru. She is trying to change her character.

Dopo la fine dell'arco dedicato al gruppo Spring, torniamo dai ragazzi del B e scopriamo che loro sono "atipici" per il progetto 7 Seeds, sono un'assicurazione ulteriore per il buon esito della cosa. I cattivi ragazzi.

E ora, i due gruppi si dirigono verso il monte Fuji dove li aspettano provviste e aiuti lasciati dal progetto... il contatto con ciò che resta del Giappone è sconvolgente, non si capisce quanto tempo possa essere passato né cosa sia potuto succedere per causare la fine del mondo.
Ma le due squadre sono ora sempre più vicine... volume lento, impiegato a far digerire il fatto che fosse tutto vero.

Both Team Spring and Team Summer B end up in circumstances this time where they have to face the reality of their situation and it leads to many interesting quieter character moments. (Not that there isn't also still a fair bit of action, especially at the beginning and end of this volume.)

Some of the things I loved, in no particular order:
- Natsu's growth and her finding the courage to speak out in more and more situations both big and small
- Hana acknowledging Chisa's strength (because it's so easy to just brush her off as a doormat last volume and Hana kind of did, but now sees things clearer)
- the way Haru from one team and Chimaki from the other compare as the two "artist" types
- the "bridge over troubled water" scene. I doubt the anime adaptation will keep most of the songs but I can't imagine this moment any other way (yet?)

One thing that works really well for me in hindsight is the moment where Botan is asked why there's a Team Summer B specifically and she explains why there's a B team, but not why it's Summer specifically that got one. That story will have to wait for another day...

This was the least interesting volume so far. Maybe because we finally get a sense of where the characters are and what remains of the world, but it was pretty somber and depressing too. I kind of wish the cities and towns weren't in such disrepair personally, I think it could've been a bit more interesting if the characters could explore them and find loot.

I think something that made me less invested in what was happening was the fact that we're just watching people go around, looking for their homes and being surprised that nothing is left. Over and over again. Like I get it, but it's boring. Also, of the series just becomes focused on rebuilding society (farming and such), that'll really tank my interest completely.

[DeannaReadsandSleeps · Rating 5 out of 5]

whew, those reveals. the denial and slow dawning horror as they struggle to accept that everything and everyone they know and love has perished is so well done here. we’re also following a large cast of characters and yumi tamura is handling the humanity—both good and bad—of each one very well imo. yeah. this is literature.

I read this one in elementary school and didn't really grasp the whole story but I managed to finish it, I guess. :")

Kyaaaaaaaaa !!!

Bagussssssss !!!

Selama ini saya selalu baca YA yang temanya remaja yang mempunyai kekuatan terpendam. Sihir, entah itu anak dewa atau apalah, pokoknya sihir dan magic (apabedanya?) yang menjadikan mereka istimewa dan yang pasti MENYELESAIKAN SEMUA MASALAH MEREKE =.=

Setelah baca Basara kemudian 7Seeds kenapa saya mau ya ngasih semua buku itu rating 1 hahahahaha. Karena jujur dibanding buku buku itu, komik ini lebih berboot jutaan kali lipat. Karena remaja remaja di sini menyelesaikan masalah gak pake kekuatan tersembunyi, magic atau apalah. Mereka survive dengan kemampuan mereka, kekuatan mereka, daya tahan mereka, strategi mereke yang mampu dimengerti manusia normal yang gak punya sihir sihir :p. Jadi jika gagal mungkin kalian bakal mati ya. Teknologi juga gak ada artinya. Jika dibanding Hungers games mungkin ini lebih keren ratusan kali. Hungers Games setidaknya masih ada peradaban ya hanya manusianya aja yang bego. Ini mau gak mau harus mau, musuhnya alam booo ...

KEREEEEN !!!

I'm not too into the Hana character, I guess because I bonded with the shy girl first and am now impatient when the story diverges from her. In this volume, the two groups finally figure out where in Japan they are and see evidence that indeed they're in the distant future, when civilization is already long gone. Arashi and Hana seem to be getting close to reuniting. The scene in which the musician plays the organ in the chapel was pretty great. This is definitely of a higher quality than other, more romance-centered shoujo.

I'm getting used to the drawings by now
The mangaka is really great in drawing face expressions but not the features and bodies I guess?
Story line is very interesting
+ each character is well designed *-*
Looking forward for the rest of the teams !
