This is the story of a group of boys who try to save the world! As boys, Kenji and his friends came up with a bunch of stories about an evil organization bent on world destruction. As adults, someone is now turning their fantasies into reality! Reads R to L (Japanese Style), for audiences T+ Contrary to what his actions as an adult have led Kenji and his pals to believe, back when they were children, Fukube really wanted to be their friend. Fukube even went so far as to let them read all the latest manga magazines he diligently purchased in the hope of winning their friendship. Yet despite all this, Fukube still felt like an outsider. Fostering a sense of superiority toward all the other children around him, how did Fukube's actions as a little boy serve as an indication of the kind of man he would eventually become? Next, the clock is rolled forward to the third year of the Friendship Era, a frightening time in which the virus has decimated most of the world's population, and the vaccine is available only to a lucky few. Tokyo has been quarantined behind a giant wall that is patrolled by both the Global Defense Forces and the Friend's secret police, and yet while life on the inside is made to resemble Kenji's childhood from the 1960s, the world beyond the wall is a desolate wasteland. Two young siblings come to the aid of an injured man who has managed to break through the barricade, and his name is Otcho!… (más)

Story shifts up three years. Friend is back to power and world he created is creepy one. Dividing people between those who are granted the vaccine and those on the other side of the wall who are deemed as unclean is so reminiscent of the last few years.... I guess this is universal human behavior.

We follow young Sanae and her brother as they try repairing their TV (highly valuable in this third year of the Friend epoch) and soon cross path with the Kanna, so called Ice Queen, one of the resistance fractions fighting against Friend.

In parallel we follow young Friend and finally we see what exactly happened that night in school and in House on the Hill. Friend seems to be little bit off kilter and it shows how when he was very young he saw the world in very very weird and disturbing way.

With this story enters the third cycle and as such it starts [again] little bit slow. It feels but then again author manages to keep the momentum. I have a feeling this is final part of the story and it is worth the wait.

Art as always is great.

Highly recommended. ( )

We finally get the backstory for The Friend, and also, somehow, the state of the world has managed to get even worse ( )

It was nice reading from Friend's PoV for once. It may not be revealing too much at this point, but it was sure smooth going down. Even the plot progression of 3 years into Friend's rule seemed right and dystopian. Ocho as the Hulk seemed very right, and God eating corned beef seemed just as right.

What a strange series this has become.

It's still one of the best out there, in terms of plotting and character development. The momentum seems unstoppable, so why do I get the feeling that the bad guy is going to self-destruct? Because he's planning on closing his toybox, of course. ( )
