This one felt a bit more slow and I liked that it was a bit of a change and just seeing them more in their routine almost (even tho it's summer break). It's nice to also begin to see their struggles and not just the happy and nice things because being a teen these days is tough. I am curious how it's all gonna evolve/ continue to play out because so much has been added to the characters by now that they are so fascinating. I am very happy that this series isn't afraid of tackling difficult topics like mental health and eating disorders and does so very tactfully. Not shying away from the ugly truth that comes with it but also giving hope that mental health problems are not the end of the world and can get better. It's such an important message especially for young people at 16 because dealing with it then and finding help us so much more difficult sometimes because of family.
(I am guessing when the Volumes start and end as I am reading on tumblr and can not exactly tell.)
