This has been my favorite volume so far. Iku is dealing with the stress of knowing Dojo is her prince and not knowing what to do with the very complicated feelings that brings up. Meanwhile Marie has been attacked by an anonymous groper, so the crew does a sting to catch him. It ends with Iku and Tazuka taking part in a series of tests in order to advance in rank, giving the characters - and the readers - the chance to see Iku's ingenuity and abilities beyond running fast and beating people up. Also Dojo is starting to loosen up about his feelings, though still pretending they don't exist.

Delightful. Completely delightful.
