PRAISE BEE JESUS I READ THIS MANGA.
Terrible puns aside, the ending to this manga seriously took me by surprise. Allow me to backtrack.
So about two years ago I was on an anime kick, binge watching a lot of titles. More notably, this kick contained more than a few shounen ai titles. Enter No. 6, a very odd very intriguing anime about two gay guys and the bee apocalypse, complete with the required daily dosage of social commentary. While I quite enjoyed it the ending was… less than satisfying. So it came to be that about a year later i was creepin around perusing the local Barnes and Noble, like ya do, and came across this manga. Well since the light novels will probably never be brought over to Murica and I really needed to know what the hell the moon drop was all about, so I decided to get it.
And the fruits of my labor have come through for me. Why? BECAUSE THERE IS AN ACTUALLY GOOD AND GRATIFYING ENDING. yes, where the anime ends, this volume begins, and boy, does it wrap up the unwoven threads of this plot as well as humanly possible. Don't get me wrong, the ending isn't all sunshine and rainbows, but I won't touch upon that now for fear of spoilers. You lovelies can go find that out for yourselves.
Anyway, for the fact that the author was able to wrap up this story so well, that the art has not only kept the same level of greatness, but also has been able to quite flawlessly switch from cute to dark, and quaintly surprised me with it's ending, it gets 5 stars from me, and a recommendation to buy, at the very least, this volume, if you've seen the anime.
