Ok, it was pretty good and dark as usual. I feel like the series already has a lot of ground to cover so I’m not sure why it was necessary to add a reincarnated character when we could be getting more revenge with those pages instead. Also, I have mixed feelings on how this one ended but I’ll maintain optimism that it leads to something entertaining.

I really enjoyed this one. It called some things into question and the cliffhanger is making me look forward to the next volume. I hope it comes out soon.

I was on the fence with this series at the beginning, everything was excessive and it seemed like characters were just evil to be evil, but this is the volume where I really started getting into the story. The side characters acting as a sort of moral conscience to the main trio was something that could've been handled much worse.

In retrospect, the ending was maybe alluded to, but it still caught me off-guard
