Finally, Greed Island! It's one of the best arc. Killua and Gon are discovering Ging's video game after passing the test. And we've met Biscuit. One of my favorites female hunters. And now, she's going to train our boys to become stronger. I give her most of the credits for their strength by the end of the series. She was the one who helped them the most. Kurapika and Leorio are going to be missed for a long while. Farewell guys.

Unsurprisingly, I liked Outspost as much as I liked Enclave if not even more. It kept me interested since the first chapter. I just liked less analysing sometimes. It was useless. And more description (shockingly). But this book still was great.

After being rescued by Longfoot, Deuce and her friends settled in the Salvation and each one of them was "adopted" by a family there. Our heroine is living now with the lovely Mama Oaks and her husband. Even though her new parents are so kind, good and even understanding (at least most of the time), she's finding a hard to adapt. Everyone is gossiping about her. Girls are supposed to work at home and work not want to fight and kill Freaks, wear dresses and cashmere instead of pants and gears. She's the intruder here. Fade is acting strangely. He's scarcely talking to her. Only interferes when she's bullied by the natives. And let's not talk about school. She' s fighting material after all and useless for history lessons. Stalker seems to be the only one who understands her and sharing her situation. That's why she's spending most of her time training with him. But it doesn't look like that for the others. Tegan has been clearly avoiding her. Well, who can blame her for wanting to blend?

This piece won't last long. Summer is coming and they'll have to plant outside their post. Then collect harvest and visit some nearby towns for goods. When the first attempt was destroyed by Freaks, who seems to only get smarter, they decide to retry and protect the crops this time. They enemies are getting stronger and clearly planning something big and dangerous. But what is it?

Deuce is as amazing as ever, even though she times don't get it fast. Fade is just awesome, but he needs to understand her more. Stalker is more likable in this book. And Tegan is surprisingly braver.

“I want to drag you off and hide you away,” he whispered.
“Why?”
“I always knew you were beautiful, but now everyone else will too. I won’t be able to keep other boys away from you, and it’ll make me crazy.”

I'm sure I'll like Horde, with this ending, it seems so promising. The characters are so good that you forget sometimes that Deuce is only 15-16 years old. While this trilogy is one of my favorites, my hopes are very high for the next book.

“People try to make sense of things, and if they don’t know the answers, they make them up, because for some, a wrong answer is better than none.”

The dodgeball match was of course, amazing. I liked everything about it even though the rules were detailed too much sometimes. My favorite part was when Hisoka, Killua and Gon cooperated. Urgh, I just love them.


The second part of the book was my least favorite from the beginning of the series. Even in the anime. I even liked it less than the zodiacs arc. And why? Because there are two types of villains. The one you can accept, they are evil after all and I dislike them usually but on the other hand, we have some like Bomber. I feel hatred toward him. Like intense loathing, and not the kind you're supposed to feel. I don't know how to describe him but he annoyed me. I rarely hate a character that much. So if it wasn't for the dodgeball match, I'd give it 3 stars because of the villains.


And I always wondered since Biscuit is so strong why did she look so useless? I mean she trained them alright but she'll make up for it in the next volume which is supposed to be the last before the chimera ants arc. Where we will meet Kite. Yey. I hope the manga will be as good as the anime. So fingers crossed.

Greed Island is so amazing. Living in a game is just cool and clearly Yoshihiro Togashi had put a lot of work in creating everything, from the slot cards and their rankings to how to obtain them and complete the game. As Laser, looking forward to seeing him in the next volumes! And even an ex-pro assassin can't resist gambling, that's how awesome is Killua. Hope we'll see more of Ryodan and Hisoka soon.

Gon and Killua are getting stronger day by day and after a hard training, they developed their own special abilities. Biscuit is as fabulous as ever and she obviously loves them. I might have enjoyed the manga as much as I enjoyed the anime of this volume. And it doesn't happen so often.

3.5 stars

It started great then all the issues dragged on for too long.
