This is the final volume of Afterschool Charisma.  I was disappointed in the ending.  It seemed that the series ended exactly where it started.  I expected there to be a resolution that never really came.

In this volume we get the back history of Kamiya, Kuroe, and Rockswell.  It was interesting to see their first interactions and how they came to be who they are now.

Shiro must deal with the aftermath of the attack on students during the media tour of St. Kleio's Academy.
This book really gets into the questions of whether clones are just copies, whether they can become their own people, and whether clones should have rights.

Shiro graduates from St. Klieo's Academy and joins Clone DaVinci in preparation of leading the clones.
I thought the departure of Shiro from St. Kleio's was sudden but it did advance the story line in a way that made sense.

Kai has finished revealing what led to the clone terrorists, but there are still a few secrets to be revealed by him.  These secrets lead Elizabeth and Hitler to consider joining the terrorists.

Another great entry in the series.

It's time for the St. Kleio Academy's Expo where the clones all show off their school projects.  But right in the middle of a presentation, terrorists attack trying to kill all the clones.

After a first book that really didn't grab me, I am really getting into this series.  It is very quick to read with lots of action and character development.  I am definitely looking forward to reading the rest of the series and figuring out all the conspiracies and secrets.

Shiro discovers there is a secret "cult" at the school that believes the talisman of the "Amazing Dolly" will help them change their predestined futures.  Meanwhile, the school's director comes back to the school and determines to spend all his time with Shiro.

Well, after saying I wasn't sure I wanted to read any more of the series, I picked up volume 2 when I didn't have anything to read at dinnertime.  Volume two was definitely more engrossing than the first book.  Several conspiracies are starting to be revealed.  I believe I'll keep reading.

Afterschool Charisma, v. 1 by Kumiko Suekane

Afterschool Charisma, v.1 by Kumiko Suekane - 206 pages

St. Kleio Academy is a school for the clones of some of the most famous and notorious people from throughout history.  Shiro Kamiya is the sole human out of all of the students.  But is he truly all that different from the teen clones of Florence Nightingale, Sigmund Freud, Adolf Hitler and more?

This series was recommended to me so I decided to try it.  I'm not sure if I will continue to read the series or not.  While the idea is interesting, I'm not really sure I care enough about the characters to keep reading.
