After a bit of a dip last volume, the formula changes up here and we start to get answers to the long running mysteries even as new complexities are introduced. There’s still some unnecessary sexualization in the art from time to time, but it’s not as pronounced as it is in so many other manga series. One last volume to go!

Unfortunately, I had to take a big break after reading the first half since I had forgotten to take the book with me to college, hence my review will be as fragmented as my memories of the story.
I do remember that this is where the "big reveal" is made, but I think most of the action and spice was saved for the final volume, making this one focused more on introspection-talking about feelings-recap-character development.
A new character is also introduced, and even though she didn't have as significant a role to play in this volume, the ending cliffhanger hints at some more major upheavals in the future.
I love the one-shots/panels at the end. It gives better insights into the relationships between the characters which are often not as prominently portrayed in the main story due to the fast-paced action and plot progression. Plus, it is much more light-hearted and wholesome.
The final volume looks almost twice the size of the rest of the volumes, and I am sufficiently invested in all the characters now to root for them till the end!

Best volume in the series so far, full of unexpected twists and reveals. Incredibly well-written.

As the Astra's journey continues along, our group makes a few big discoveries.
I feel like the journey is a little bit rushed, we don't get as much time seeing the new planets and their traits, but there is a lot of great time spent with the crew.
With only one volume left I cannot wait to see how this series concludes!
