While I didn't it find it to be as good as the second volume, this volume definitely does not falter. Particularly, it still retains its odd juxtaposition of being both a cheerful slice of life and grim apocalypse survival story. Miki also brings in some nice conflict with here actions and the cliffhanger will make you want to pick up the next volume. We also figure out what happened to Taroumaru (his role is a bit different in comparison to the anime).
