Obviously I am obsessed with this book series so yes this volume gets 5 stars as well. I will not go into details on why I love this book series and why I am so attached to its characters. Instead, I would like to point out the interesting topic discussed in this volume.

  • The existence of sexism even in “heavenly realm” or more appropriately in religious setting. 
  • The drastic measures men do to keep their pride. This includes (and not limited to) breaking genuine friendships and neglecting one’s principles.
  • Discrimination and prejudice against children with different temperament.
  • The discrimination people experience when they don’t follow the social norms. 

I know, you’re probably not expecting to see these topics on a book marketed as BL or Boys Love. I hope these things made you interested in it and gave you the urge to start reading the book series because it is definitely worth it.
