A Certain Scientific Railgun 6
Oh wow...I really liked this volume. It's quite a big one (a bit bigger than volume 5, about twice as big as volume 1) but it didn't feel long at all. I think the whole Sisters Arc has been fantastic so far - it's taken such a simple plot device like cloning and given it a real spin. Through Fuyukawa's art, you could really get a deep sense of what Misaka was feeling in this emotional roller-coaster of volume. Her anger towards Academy City, the futility upon learning the truth about Tree Diagram and the relief she felt when Toma intervened. What I love about Misaka is even when you learn about her past, she isn't the kind of female character you want to hug and protect - she's the kind you want to get behind and cheer on.
My only complaint about the volume was that Toma beating down on Accelerator was a tad too short for my liking.
9/10
