In many ways, this is a good jumping off point. A lot of the big mysteries from the first volume are resolved. The fan service continues to get amped up. And now the premise seems intent on swinging into standard battle manga territory with the protagonists set to face off against other monsters searching for the scattered alien coins that can make new monsters. Gotta catch 'em all! While naked!

I do have the next volume on hand from the library though, so I'll be continuing on into the new story arc with my fingers crossed that the creator can focus on the intriguing parts instead of only pandering to the lowest common denominator. ( )
