I gave this book ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 5 stars, I loved it.
Hospital of Horrors
This is a review for the 4th book in a series, as such it will not be spoiler free. If you would like to read my reviews of the previous volumes of this series you can find them here, 1, 2, & 3.
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! One half is safe in a local hospital with their injuries treated, the other half is transported 10 years into their past where they make a shocking discovery.
Kii is no longer sure that Tsukune is the girl he thought she was. Kaede finally confesses that she has been in love with Kii for years and risks her life to save Kii. They are rescued at the last minute by soldiers and head of to find the others at the hospital. The hospital may not be as safe as they thought it was. Is that magical girl the one they killed before? One of the magical girls seems to be able to talk, can they use this somehow to save themselves? What is up with the magical girl on the cover? Her magical powers might prove to be a serious problem!
This series is constantly changing the rules on the reader. You think you have it figured out and suddenly the ground shifts and everything is different. It is done really well and without leaving the reader reeling, it keeps the reader hanging on the edge of their seat for more. Discoveries were made by several people in this volume that may finally solve the problem of where the magical girls came from and what they want.
I can't wait for the next volume to be released. This one ended on quite the cliffhanger. If you enjoy mayhem and zombies you should check this out. If you are squeamish or don't like gore, this probably isn't for you. There is a lot of gore but there is a lot of humor to balance it out. To quote this volume "Watch an anime you moron. Read a manga."
