This volume was better - not just because a couple more people died, but we are getting to know certain characters a little better, their true sides.

Another solid 4/5 installment in the series. I really should've written down what happened in each volume, because they're starting to run together and I'm having trouble remembering how the story is divided up (and therefore having trouble comparing the volumes). Either way, this was definitely a solid one, but not up to the level set by the best volume so far (vol 4), so it's about 8.5/10 or 8/10. Not 100% sure. Somewhere around there, though.

Spoiler text is here for me to remember how the story is split up between volumes

Yutaka and Mim run into Keita (guy mim doesn't trust) and they fight, ending in Keita being shot by Mim. Yutaka and Mim go to set their bomb, but get attacked by Kiriyama. Yutaka is killed,
Mim is wounded and sets off a bomb in their shelter before being killed by Kiriyama. Kawada and Noriko continue together, while Sugi and Shuuya have been found by a group of girls, who are nursing Shuuya back to health. Sugi leaves him.
