A lot of reveals, and introduction to new characters. There was one small annoying part, where Nanoka calls Mao a jerk for not caring... when all he did was say she needs to train so she can protect herself. I'm not sure what made that so upsetting. But, it felt shoehorned to create conflict for her.
I am invested in the mystery around the night Mao was cursed. Hyakka is still annoying. Less so in this volume than the previous, but I still don't really care for his personality.
So much happened in this volume, too much almost to where some of it wasn't as impactful as I wish it had been. Too many reveals, and too many twists. I already have the next two volumes from the library.
