An incredibly volume in this series, looking into Loid's backstory, which tore my heart out and stomped on it!
I didn't expect this series to take a dark turn, but the flashbacks to Loid's childhood were DARK. But the rest of the volume goes back to its usual slightly silly self and I loved it!

Loid's backstory provides a timely, though potentially triggering (e.g.,

bombing

, war) read.

4.5

The initial story in this volume has to do with war, PTSD and childhood trauma. It hits hard without being overtly violent with gore. The other stories in it are top tier amusing and develop the plot quite a bit. However, it’s that first chapter of this volume that left a huge impression on me. Don’t miss this volume if you’re a fan of the series.

4.75 out of 5 ☆’s.

“I hated the enemy without knowing why. I picked up a gun without knowing why. I obeyed my country without knowing why.”

ੈ✩‧₊˚

I want to start off by saying that this volume is heavier than it’s predecessors (CW: war, death, and child abuse). 

When I began this volume — I didn’t expect to delve into Loid’s past…he’s always been such a secretive character (the man is a spy) so it was interesting (and equally heartbreaking) to see how this elusive character came to be...

ੈ✩‧₊˚

The addition of Melinda Desmond also came as a surprise to me! I’m interested in seeing how Yor’s friendship with her progresses…♡
