This one felt like it was structured a bit weird. It was enjoyable, but it also feels like it ended just before the climax, spent a lot of time on weird things, and had a few too many jokes from Ellis. 

Those weird things didn't feel bad to spend time on, though. A lot of the smaller scenes, and the sequence in Mekia in general, highlighted how much Olivia and the others have changed over time, and how much everyone means to Olivia. Sometimes she's so weird it's hard to tell, or at least hard for them to tell, and I think these weird scenes helped everyone get closer to the same page.

If it was another 100 pages longer to cover the fight with the Azure Knights I think this would be a fantastic, albeit still a little weird, volume. As is, it's missing the bit that makes it all come together.
