Review:
I found this series more enjoyable when I first started it. It was
just weird and entertaining then. Now it's serious and that only
makes it weird. The whole recipe thing, all the weird creatures that
are food and have weird names... It just doesn't make any sense to me
anymore, and now it's just making me confused, and a little bored.
I'm finding it harder to care, I suppose.
Komatsu meets the boys' mother and helps them in this volume. He also
gets eaten by this creature and has to overcome? Several of the group
volunteer to go fight certain sea creatures in order to get the
materials to make these invincible cooking tools, only to later find
out that time goes by faster there—so even though it's a few days
where Komatsu is, the guys go through years.
I just... I have a hard time taking this series serious, and it's
harder to find it funny when the characters are so serious. And this whole sea creature thing just seems unnecessary.
A review copy was provided by the publisher, VIZ Media, for an honest review. Thank you so, so much!
