Denji is struggling with the aftermath of killing a friend when he turns toward Makima for help. Readers who have followed that loss have the context this continuation assumes. Avoid buying it as a detached horror sample merely because its premise is bleak. If you are assembling the earlier run, check your collection first: the box containing the first eleven volumes already includes this standard book.

Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.

Seeking support can leave a person exposed when he has little energy left to question its terms. VIZ describes Denji's despair and his appeal to Makima, while warning that she is not what she appears to be. That establishes the dependence under examination without requiring a claim about every revelation that follows. The volume's particular interest is the danger inside an offer of direction: relief from making decisions can also make someone easier to direct. Read it for the relationship between grief and dependence, with the preceding loss still in view.
