I love how far Chise has come. She is very strong-willed and willing to help others regardless. I am writing this review a couple of days after finishing the volume, and I wish I had written it closer to when I did finish it because I read the next volume just a day later. Some of the smaller details have gotten jumbled with that volume. 
But I remain with my assessment of Chise. She is another character who has so much growth and I am so happy that she can come out of her shell and make friends. I do remember what she was like at the start of the series and she was so stuck in her own head. I am also happy that Elias is coming out of his shell, and getting to know humans a little more. For as old as he is, he's very childlike when it comes to understanding people.
