4.0

This volume is quite good. We get more insight into Fiona/Nightfall. The character interactions are all spot on. The plots are quite amusing. My major issue with this volume is that a good chunk of it feels like filler. I felt like Yor/Thorn Princess & Anya were barely in this volume until the back half. Where they are used it feels incredibly appropriate and interesting. That’s not to say Fiona/Nightfall isn’t an interesting character with her history with Loid/Twilight. Loid’s interactions with her are entertaining too, Enzo could of done more with the potential rival trope. I’m probably being generous with giving this volume 4 stars but that’s fine. The plot progresses a good amount in this volume but some of the action comedy bombast of the first 5 volumes is neutered or missing here.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Blood, Body horror, Bullying, Classism, Gaslighting, Gun violence, Gore, Injury/Injury detail, Confinement, Misogyny, Stalking, Toxic relationship, and Violence

The confinement also has risk of poisoning/death. Common trope in Manga/Anime but one of the characters has an obsessive crush on another and that’s not healthy at all so keep an eye on how that’s viewed by teen readers if you’re giving it to one. There’s another scene where little girl characters go on a luxury shopping spree. How someone views that could be another minor point of concern. Overall this volume is pretty light compared to the first 5 volumes. The most thought provoking part was well into the back half of the book. Good read this volume but not as great as the first 5 volumes.
