This volume was fine but I find in general stories that are just about student drama are not as exciting as other stories such as the volumes dealing with the dead brought back to life etc. So overall it was fine but not as cool as some of the other volumes I have read so far.

Finished on the 23th of May at 13:20. Not the fake lashes girl lmao Also she wants revenge is the perfect soundtrack for this storyline.

I am not really fond of the school theme but the plot holds itself well. It's OK.

Rating Update 3/12/2019 - 3 to 2 stars. Because I found it boring, it doesn't mean I liked it (3 stars).

Update August 3, 2019
With the adoption of my new rating system, a two star rating is befitting. The original review and original rating conform to the new rating system. Having read the synopsis of each chapter in this volume, I have visually conjured up certain scenes. I do recall being bored with most of the chapters but not liking or disliking the volume in its entirety. This is a definite two star rating.

The new case is slowly coming along, since public schools don't take into account one's pedigree and follows their own rules free from the government, Ciel needs to find creative ways to investigate the disappearance of students... "without" Sebastian. Mainly a humorous volume. I've never been a huge fan of stories that take place at schools, but I have to say the humor via Sebastian's overworked self really helped relieve some of the more slow parts. We do see some progress with the case but it's slow in coming because of the environment of the case

As a warning, the term fag is used a lot in this volume, not the derogatory definition, but the one defined as "lower boys who attend to upperclassmen in brotherly relationships limited to school". I decided I'd mention it since I did see some discourse about the term before (somewhere). I can't remember what the argument was so I dropped a warning just in case
