Vice-Captain Soshiro Hoshino takes the spotlight as he fights first Kaiju No. 8 and then brand-spanking new Kaiju No. 10. There was a nice little lull in the middle for some character interaction, but nothing too interesting occurs.
It's still a good series, but it is starting to coast through on action scenes a little more than I'd like.

Before reading volume 1: for someone who has never seen Godzilla and/or King Kong (or anything with kaiju) I sure do like stories about monsters...
After reading: ok the pace is still very high but I sorta thought that having some slow moments would be better. I do think I'm only saying that because I'm reading a lot of chapters in one go.
