Aww, this is constantly going from hopeful and slice-of-lifey, to right back in the feels, once Sheena mentions the war. While she's happy her number has been skipped, she feels bad that someone else is fighting instead of her. This is quite heartbreaking. But captures the feeling of war very well … <|3 

As well as Sheena’s will to keep everything alive. The potted plant scene was great. 

 

Sheena’s and Mimi’s relationship kinda gives mother-daughter or sister vibes, but I wouldn’t mind if that were the case. Considering Mimi’s body is immortal, it’d be a bit weird to have a romantic, let alone sexual relationship, once Sheena outgrows her. (Then again, there are people shipping DW’s Jack Frost with adults …) But also cause their platonic relationship is sweet as well. I don’t really need more. 

Besides, there is already a confirmed romantic couple as supporting characters, Seiran and Ari! 

 

As perverted as Ms. Fran is, she seems to be the only one from the teachers, who actually sees Mimi as a person, rather than a killing machine or secret weapon. Pretty sure she’s hoping that Sheena might help getting Mimi out of this, although it might mean they’ll lose the war ... 

 

The highlight of this volume gotta be the gratitude day, though! 

- underground library 

- free flee market / free exchange of stuff you don’t need anymore 

- Mimi making the books dance with magic 

- a heartfelt hug between them 

- Sheena being a secret cookie fairy 

 

Took a bit of a quicker pace than last volume and started with the lore regarding the war, but still focuses on the slow, soft life that Sheena embodies.
