Rating: 7/10 (3.5/5)

I did enjoy this but it feels a bit like a filler volume. Their are moments that will probably come into play further in the series so am looking forward to seeing some of those ideas expanded.

Dragged a bit. Still readable. But not much happened here that I cared all that much about.

This volume was a little bit everywhere but I enjoyed most of it. When I first read this, Haru and Rin were two of my favourites so it's good that the storyline is starting to ramp up. Ritsu is quite an interesting character and once again there is a lot of ~gender~ in this series which makes reading it fun. Also, the Ayame and Yuki stuff is truly wonderful!

Tohru tries helping out the latest Zodiac member introduced (Ritsu), Yuki tries helping Haru out and plans for the future are brought up- overall a fun Volume.
