The best volume in the series for me so far.

I loved how Shin's trauma was explored even deeper, the parallels Asato drew between the Eighty-Six and the Sirins were just haunting, and the major fight scene (where my eyes usually glaze over a bit) was fantastic. It'll be an absolute crime if the anime doesn't get renewed and this volume doesn't get the adaptation it deserves.
