Villains Are Destined to Die, Vol. 5

Today's manga post is on Villains Are Destined to Die, Vol. 5 by Gyeoeul Gwon and SUOL (Artist). It is 272 pages long and published by Ize Press. The cover has Penelope and Derrick on it. As it is the fifth in the series, you need to have read the first four volumes to understand the story. The intended reader is someone who likes dark stories with intense characters and incredible art. There is no foul language, no sex, and mild violence in this manga. The story is told from third person close of the main character. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the manga- Penelope and Callisto safely escaped the assassins, but Callisto is left in mortal danger and Penelope...is standing trial for murder?! Accused of murdering seven nobles during the Hunt, she faces a court proceeding that’s in actuality nothing more than an elaborate sham to frame her. With false testimonies filling the courtroom and Callisto unable to take the stand, will Penelope make it out alive...?

Review- Penelope has been arrested for attempting to murder seven nobles and no one is listening to her, especially not her family. With Callisto unconscious, she has to prove her innocence all alone. But the game is working with her, to help save her neck and uncover the true villains. Penelope has reached the end of her rope with everyone around her. She only wants to end the game and go home but with every turn of the plot, she is getting in deeper. Penelope and Callisto continue have good discussions and he promises to never kill her. With only a month left before her coming of age event, Penelope is starting to feel the pressure. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next volume. 

I give this volume a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
