So, vol. 5 of Y ended with Ampersand being stolen and taken to Japan; in this one, 355, Yorick, and Dr. Mann decide to travel to Japan to get the monkey back. This is an incredibly stupid idea, and actively puts Yorick into a situation that will most likely kill him. Dr. Mann argues that being away from Ampersand might equally kill Yorick, but there's no way of knowing if it will. So they put him on a boat in an ocean full of pirates, a possibly-rouge Australian navy, and various sharks and other deadly creatures beneath the sea. Not the best idea anyone's ever had.
It was frustrating reading this, because I know the series is capable of being much better.
A strange detour that didn't have much to do with the main story, but that's okay it's still entertaining. We do get to see what's happened to Yorick's fiancee-to-possibly-be so that's a good thing.
