Fido, best dog for life.

Loved the deep dive into Shin's character as we get to watch him grow up on the battlefield and see how those memories relate to the present. It was absolutely gruesome while having sweet emotional moments, which is what Eighty-Six does best. Definitely one of my favorites from this series.

While this was a nice break from all the action, Lena's jealousy/possessiveness was so annoying :c

The best volume in the series for me so far.

I loved how Shin's trauma was explored even deeper, the parallels Asato drew between the Eighty-Six and the Sirins were just haunting, and the major fight scene (where my eyes usually glaze over a bit) was fantastic. It'll be an absolute crime if the anime doesn't get renewed and this volume doesn't get the adaptation it deserves.
