The part where Damian finds Goliath was my favorite especially the art there and the sword with Damian being bathed in red and black coloring Honestly that whole spread was beautiful.
Baby Goliath was so cute though!
Also Damian having baby teeth was not expected but a funny addition. He acts all tough and then there’s moments like that that remind you he’s still a kid.
It was a pretty good readand I liked how Maya and Damian’s relationship almost progressed to basically a familial and friendly rivalry(?)
Favorite quote: “Change isn’t only in a single moment. It takes a lifetime of moments to weave together the final tapestry of who we will become.”

Nobara and Toge - 4.5/5
I liked the character development here. It really highlights Nobara’s weaknesses but also her growth and strength from acknowledging them.
Even if I’m Not Here - 5/5
This one was probably my favorite just from the sheer amount of Kokichi Muta backstory it has.Also some early Miwa feelings with how he likes her which we all know doesn’t end well when he dies. I feel like it adds more to when he dies in the main series if anything. Anyway, I think him just starting to come to terms with accepting his humanity despite his circumstances was why I enjoyed reading this one so much.
Asakusabashi Energy - 3.75/5
Eh, didn’t really care much for this one? The last few pages were good though. Especially the banter between Shoko and Gojo.
Advancing in the face of Fear - 4.25/5
This one just made me love Mai’s character more. It just adds depth to her and her relationship to Maki and why she acts the way she does.
At the End of the Sidewalk - 5/5
This one is just bittersweet knowing that they’llnever get to experience the next School Exchange event I think one of the things I did notice from this story is just…how many things are left unsaid between the trio and it’s sad to think that they never properly sit down and acknowledge it before everything goes to shit.
The last page was just…sad if you know what happens later.

I love Kate’s humor and sarcasm sm. Probably my favorite volume so far and the side characters were amazing considering they were first introduced just in this volume.
