Both the action and drama heat up in this volume as all of our heroes fall into enemy clutches. With his favourite toy back in his hands, Papa Dino throws a dinner party for the captives before taking them to his execution chamber for a demonstration of the power of banana fish using Shorter and Eiji as examples. This whole series is a page-turner, but this volume especially I could not wait to see what happened next. There are so many different storylines running parallel to one another, crossing over and then separating again, and Yoshida-sensei doesn't forget a single one even as the action heats up in others.
