Gin Tama, Volume 5

I bought this manga so I could read it. I am able to read it but it’s kinda difficult to do so since it’s almost at a 45 degree bend in the whole book. Plus with a black mark on the back cover.

It came on time with no problems.

This volume starts out with the weirdest beach story I've yet read in a manga, no surprise. But, it's just a prelude. The highlight of this set is lessons 33-34. This story alone is worth purchasing it for if you like Gin Tama. A ghost story in Gin Tama fashion, which means funny with some weird catch to the ghost. I had to repeatedly stop because I was laughing so hard at one point I could only get through 2-3 panels at a time. I went back and reread it twice already :-)Nothing else could measure up but it tries. Kagura gets hooked a shopping network, a really bizarre piece which starts with the trio running a corner store and end up helping a (former) friend of Shinpachi, Gin and Zura in drag (yes, Zura makes a gorgeous girl lol), and Gin`s fiancee(?). Happy Reading!
