I watched the anime a while back and I think it covered this volume pretty quickly, because holy moly the first half was more frustrating to get through than I remember. Ayanokuji is so passive and pathetic as to be annoying, but once he's finally pushed to action it's interesting to see how he handles while staying in the background as much as he can manage. Might continue reading, might not, but on the whole it worked out to not being a bad volume.
