Ikki and his Kogarasumaru AT team are hitting the streets and putting their money where their mouths are. They go and challenge the biggest, baddest team that is a whole class ahead of them in a crazy dome match that’s sure to see them pulverized!

Agito has joined the boys in black and he’s got a plan to help save their necks from Behemoth, the team that everyone is scared spitless of. But Ikki is a fly-by-his-seat kind of guy and this reckless sob is sure to muck it all up for one heckuva AT battle! Ikki’s about guts, not glory, he’s about doing his best, giving his all, and going beyond to reach for the sky! So you know this is going to be a fight that will leave everyone breathless! But it’s not just him fighting. The first two main matches we see are Kazu against a guy who can stop time! That’s right, he stops time! And Kazu is the low guy on the totem pole. All he’s got going for him is speed, can he be faster than time itself? And Buccha the tank is up against Hecatonchires who has a super long reach and the vicious speed to use it to full effect! What can even Buccha the tank do against a guy in a narrow tunnel? These are the two main battles this volume, but Agito’s fight, which seems a tad personal, Ikki’s battle, and Onigiri who gets to fight one sexy momma (lucky dog!) are all waiting in the wings. Just who’s gonna ride out on top and touch the sky?

Fantastic visuals man, they blow me away every volume! The action is supremely cool and the characters are wicked fun.

Manga extra goodies include character concept sketches, translation notes and a preview of the next volume in English.

IN SUMMARY:
Ikki and the gang are in for the fight of their life when they get in way over their heads in the latest volume of Air Gear. It’s high-octane action comedy!
