In Superwomen in Love! Honey Trap and Rapid Rabbit, Volume 4 this goofy story starts to do something it has not previously done.
First, a disclaimer! My last review was for Volume 2 of this series. It’s not that I disliked Volume 3, it just did nothing new and it locked itself into a space I don’t much care for, with Hayate and Honey unable to tell each other their feelings for reasons. The one good thing about Volume 3 is a spoiler, so I’ll avoid it, because in this volume, it becomes even more of a giant question mark over everyone’s heads.
So here in Volume 4 of this transforming suit hero style series, (a la Kamen Rider) several things shift. The Antinoid leaders are showing some humanity here and it’s out of place in this style of story. This feels like one of two things are happening – either this story is going to wrap up soon or it will have to take another tack. As I haven’t kept up with the Japanese edition, I can’t say for sure which way the story is going. Either way works equally as well for me.
What I can say is that the problem I had with Volume 3 is resolved here in a grand gesture at the end of a series chock-full of grand gestures. Where will the story take our plucky heroines? We’ll have to check back in Volume 5 and see!

I’m kind of interested to see how this wraps up, honestly.
Will we actually get an explanation of the antinoids? Will it matter? Tune in next episode…erm, volume! ^_^
Also the bad guys have an alternate family. That was interesting.
