Overly fast-paced, shallow, and hard to follow. New classmates invite themselves over on the first day that Himari goes to her new school, and yet they consider each other friends?? Everything is rushed in this series, and I don't know that I want to continue.

This story is moving along faster than a speeding train. It’s enjoyable, but it’s also so episodic that it’s hard to tell if there’s an overarching plot the reader’s supposed to be following. Not sure that’s a good thing once you’ve hit the third volume of the series.

meh, I can't tell if this series is losing me or not...
I have vol. 4 & 5 on loan from the library, so we'll see how I feel after those two!

This volume definitely got me more invested in the story, as more characters and elements of the magical side of things come into focus. First, it completes the story from the previous volume, where Himari had unknowingly invited a spirit into the house, where they could feed on the power and grow malevolent. While dealing with that, we are introduced to an antagonistic character, Kasha, who seems to have something against Nue, or at least likes to torment him. Himari's peculiar abilities as the owner of the Momochi house come to the forefront as she helps resolve that. The latter half is then about an ayakashi banquet that Nue invites her to, which was aesthetically impressive in artwork. I am liking the intensifying dichotomy between Aoi and Nue being presented, and how Himari views them both. There's also growing feelings between Aoi and Himari, and it is apparent in how the Nue reacts to her.
