The plot thickens!!! Also, I will admit, that when I first saw the cover of this volume, before I read any of the series, I honestly thought that Fran was a person wearing a huge rabbit mask.

still not sure what to make of this

Maybe it’s because I adore this series but I’m surprised it’s rated so low when some people read worse garbage and call it a masterpiece. (All opinion.)

More than what she seems. Quite an ecletic group of misfits. Some tragedy. Some laughs.

Our peachy princess faces off against a walrus ogre and absolutely decimates him only to lose all memory of doing so. And while Sally was passed out, Mikoto took care of the walrus's companion ogre (a humanoid female).

The plot moves on really quickly as Sally meets the tsundere female ogre and decides to help her because she's lost her powers. Knight Hawthorn was against this but then his ENTIRE CASTLE WAS OBLITERTATED by another ogre who backed off before attacking Sally, introducing us to a mysterious bad-guy-boss. With no other options, the princess's party increases by two: Hawthorn the Knight and Carrot the Ogress (Frau gave her the name).

Later, Sally finally realizes that racism and discrimination is a thing and vows to try and... get people to work together? I guess that's one way to go about it.

There's a lot more action in this volume and the plot flows a bit better, but the social commentary on discrimination vs friendship is extremely heavy handed. But, points for the nice cliffhanger.

This series has 16 volumes.

Well, I wasn't expecting that out of Sally, and not this soon in the series.
