 I missed them. I love the new interactions with the different characters and the growth they're having 

I have some complaints.

First, I still love the characters. I'm not really sure where the story is going. It seems to have no end. I love the fencing world and it's still fun to read.

Complaints:

1st: It's taking them so long to get content out. This seemed to be a very skinny volume and it took 2 years to publish. I wonder why it's so slow
2nd: What is happening with the art style???? They are throwing in frames with manga crap. The characters look like video games screaming and not like themselves, as real people. I hate that. HATE IT! It feels cheap and rushed and I don't get it. Why.
3rd: Why take so much time sending them off to the camp. I feel they don't always focus on the most important parts.
4th: What happened to all the relationship stuff between the guys. There was very little here and it was all hints. What's going on.
5th: Do I really have to wait another year to get through this? Why didn't this volume cover all of camp? They should have finished this arc even if it would have been 6 or 8 chapters in this volume. I feel cheated.

I really do enjoy this story. I wish it would step back up to how it started. Still, I'll be waiting for volume 6.
