This volume is most likely and probably one of my favourites and deserves 5 stars. There was everything in this chapter: but I'll start by saying I really enjoy seeing the leaders Fukuzawa and Mori interacting face to face when they have to. Their dynamic is sort of intruiging and I want to see their basckstory expanded on, like how do they know each other? I also really like the detail that Mori isn't just purely intelligence by chance, he actively studies war strategies (not just Tsun Zu lol) which makes him so much scarier in my opinion. 

And because I'm absolutely obsessed with dynamics, I absolutely adored seeing Dazai and Chuuya worked together. I love the way that they bicker mercilessly but the amount of trust they have with each other is insane (even after Dazai defected to the ADA). I personally love it. BUT NOW ONTO MY FAVOURITE CHAPTER:

Poe and Ranpo are everything to me, their dynamic is gold. This chapter is one of the few I remember from the show and it was just as good. I love the dynamics between Ranpo and Yosano but also the former and Poe also. It was sweet he still remembered their showdown. In terms of the expansion on Ranpo's ability, I loved the insight into his mindset and actually one line he said spurred me on to write an analysis of almost 3k words on his concept of trust. Anyways, I hope Poe appears more I love him and Karl so much. So so much. 

And one more thing. The Tanizaki and Atsushi friendship is so underrated I loved the whole "Wimpiest of the East and West" pls lol. Anyways, this was long but this was just such a good volume and I'm so excited to read more I'm loving this series.
