This was an incredibly disappointing installment for me & I'm not sure I'll continue on with the series after this - which sucks because I genuinely really liked the original premise and I feel like this just completely strayed from it?  

I think I might just watch the anime and see if that gets better because honestly all the sexualization of minors (specifically Komi) was a lot and I'm just so incredibly uncomfortable. Like I vaguely remember a few "huh? wut?" moments in the last volume but this was just so in your face. 

Like maybe this is more of a 3 star but honestly im just so dissapointed I struggle to justify even that so 2 stars it is and I hate it here. They say go to hell but you just rated a volume in a manga series you genuinely loved and felt represented by 2 stars so I'm already there.....
