4.0
Well, that was quite melancholic at the end again (which was both great and not), but overall this volume had much more of a sad vibe.
Saki still is effected by what Rinne said, and at the same time also by her past. There isn't much revealed yet, but from what is teased, it's possible Saki had a crush on a girl before and it didn't end well. With homophobia/heteronormativity involved.
Like I said, I do love melancholy (like in the last chapter of this volume), but not when it becomes overly sad. Not even in a depressing way, but more in a "why does society have to be so close-minded" way. And at some point that can get a bit annoying, so 4 stars again.
The author and artist do overall a great job in portraying these heavy matters. I'm just not a fan of homophobia, especially when it started out relatively positive... and considering it came out in 2022.
I will keep reading though.
