"Magical Girls of Future Past"Spoiler Warning!
This is a review for the third volume in a series. To read my review of the first two volumes click here: Volume 1 & Volume 2 If you choose to read the review for the third volume first you may find some spoilers for the first two volumes!
Synopsis: Kii Kogami's live has been a living hell since the magical girls arrived bringing death and destruction with them. His school was destroyed but he and a few other students escaped. They finally found a safe haven at a shopping mall. Their haven didn't stay secure for very long and they were once again forced to run. In all of the chaos this time their group was split in half!
Kii is desperate to get to Tsukune's side and protect her but he has a slight problem. One of the magical girls sent him back in time by 10 years. He and the others with him are back in the year 2002 and the peacefulness of that time is surreal after all the chaos. Will they be able to go back to 2012? Do they even want to go back? Is there a connection between the two time periods?
This volume had a lot of surprises in its pages. Some questions have been answered from previous volumes, many new questions have been raised. The majority of this volume is in 2002 and this provides a unique look at some of the character's pasts. Learning about their pasts sheds new light on their actions in the current year. A tiny hint is given about the origins of the magical girls. Not everything is quite the way it seems.
I can't wait for the next volume to be released. The only downside to this series is waiting 3 months in between volumes! I still recommend this series to anyone who isn't squeamish. It definitely has its share of blood and guts but there is also a healthy dose of humor and a great plot to go with the gore!
