Boys Run the Riot vol. 4

 

 Boys Run the Riot, vol. 4 by Keito Gaku, translated by Leo McDonagh, 262 pages. 

In this conclusion to the series we focus in on the boys' clothing brand and their attempts to make it as an indie fashion brand. Life stomps them down as high schoolers with more passion than skill or experience, but a chance encounter brings them into contact with a man who runs his own indie brand and is willing to take them on as apprentices. They have the opportunity to display their clothes at his expo, but first they need to figure out what they're doing and why they're doing it.

I really liked this volume, like all the others, and I liked that we got to spend a little more time with Jin in this volume after focusing so much on Ryo. I was a little underwhelmed with this as a conclusion to the series, but it was still completely solid (even if it's hard to tell from the timestamps on this blog, I read the entire series in less than a week, even waiting for the last volume to come in from another library).

Fun Fact: This is the first book that gets bonus points for a train ride, which is wild for a book set in a Japanese city.
