More of the same. This series could have done with one or two fewer exes, but it's almost over.

Scott and Ramona are living together, attending parties and living their life. The band are still recording their album, and Scott ends up sofa surfing.

Kim gets captured by the Katayanagi twins, and Scott fights them and rescues Kim.

I really liked the Double Dragon title drawing, like the Sonic the Hedgehog one from volume 4.

The book uses the r slur a few times, but I'm guessing it's because the characters are kinda dicks.

Overall, it was slow paced, but still really good.

I definitely did not understand how quickly I would blast through these graphic novels, but I'm glad I am reading them. I adore how true the movie still was despite the reversal of several key aspects of the story told herein.

I really liked one of the last lines from the volume,
Spoiler when Kim is getting on the bus to move away
, about concise statements (in regard to Sex Bob-Omb's music). It struck me that Mr. O'Malley is also skilled in making concise statements, specifically in his methods of characterization. Spectacular, concise, and subtle.

I also really adored the extra back pages in this volume, which showed his process for making these graphic novels. I like peeling back the layers of the artistic process like that. Thanks for sharing!

This volume was much more mature than its predecessors. And because I thrive on poop jokes, I realistically could only give it 4 stars.

I am however still looking forward to the next volume. Sex Bob-omb!

Massive review of series at the end.

Ramona, Ramona, Ramona... proving that people will only change if they're willing to do so. The twins were sadly lacking. Many appearances of Kim Pine and who doesn't like Kim Pine.
