At long last, Cathy faces Zack and Ray in the execution room! Cathy hands Ray a pistol, trying to get her to turn on Zack, but will her plan backfire? One way or another, the Floor B3 saga comes to a close in Volume 5 of Angels of Death! 

This volume opens with Cathy VS Rachel and allows us to see a different side of Rachel....a more chilling side. I mean, she's pretty emotionless and expressionless as it is, but we see that change a tad which is an interesting development and if we didn't already think there was more to her than meets the eye...this proves it. 

I really do love the little things this manga does to make it creepy, yet also funny. I mean, I'm not sure what's creepier than Rachel and Zack talking about murder and then getting a shot of Zack smiling....full romance manga style. With sparkles. 

While the whole thing with Cathy is wrapped up this volume, and we get a dramatic and tense scene with Zack....we then go and delve into Cathy's past and on the one hand, I was quite excited to get to learn more about Cathy. But on the other hand....really? Did it have to be right then?! To be fair, it is lowkey setting up for the next "floor boss" but I do feel like it would have been better placed at the start of the volume. Although the character of Lucy was certainly an interesting development and way more messed up than she first appears! 

Volume 5 of Angels of Death brings us suspense, tension and a sense of jeopardy for one of our characters, while the fast pace slows a bit to reveal Cathy's past and a mysterious upcoming figure.
