Gigant volume 9 - Hiroya Oku

 Back to the tale of an adult actress turning superpowered saviour of Japan in this penultimate volume of Gigant.

And hopefully, it goes in all honesty back to the level of the earlier books, as some of the latter where disappointing.

With Satan regenerated, Papico leaves the battle to bring Rei into safety.  The others step in, but suffer some serious injuries in doing so, even as they rip the demon's heart out this doesn't stop him.  After bringing Rei to safety and promising she will return safely, Papico returns to the fray just as some of the warriors from the future are killed by the huge demonic force.

She takes out Satan though... with her bum!  As she proceeds to then rip him to pieces, the evil demon is finally defeated.  But the AI space station descents to Earth, snatching away Papico and the other two surviving warriors from the future, before beginning it's ascend to space again.  In there they meet the two AI's, Socrates and Plato, now resembling two giant humans.

As they discuss the points of being human and try to convince them what is needed to stop their assaults (they just want to fondle her oppai), the US launches a nuclear strike.  The missiles impact, causing an atomic blast that seemingly engulfs them all, so will Chiho and her unborn child survive and reunite with Rei?

Another fast read volume, as the middle section was low on dialogue once again, but it was a bit better then the previous ones.  Now to await the final volume in about 2 months and see how the series finishes!
