Fine. This series is nothing exciting, somehow. It was nice to finally get more backstory on Aoi. There's just never any actual danger, so it feels shallow.

In which we learn a little about Aoi's past... finally.

Each volume of this series continues to get progressively better in my opinion. We continue to get more and more depth to this story, and I am starting to grow more attached to our beautiful characters. The first couple of volumes kept me invested in it because of the amazing art style. I'm at a point now where I am staying for more of Aoi's story.

Warnings: child abuse
This book delves further into Aoi's past, before he was directed to go the Momochi house; it tells about his childhood as being able to see and interact with ayakashi and the 'siblings' he had; it also tells about him after his mother's death and his step-mother who was terrified of a child who claimed to see spirits. Himari suspects it is remembering the past that will allow the Nue to transform back into Aoi, but she also feels that maybe it is upto Aoi, despite all her efforts. There is a lot to unpack about the Nue-Aoi thing, to be honest, from the demarcation between the two (if there is one), to what is going through Aoi's mind when it comes to what side he wants to stay on. The Nue's deal with Kasha is something that I wish was more clear - I am confused as to what is going on there, and how the latter can just waltz in into the house, but the Nue can't go out.
