kinda speedran it and it's been a while since i read the previous volumes. but here's my first thoughts anyway.
kinda feels... unfinished? like i get it's an ongoing manga but i feel like the previous volumes had more of a narrative arc to them? idk. it just feels like it sets up a bunch of things and then... ends? not very satisfying.
here's to hoping it's just packed into volumes weird and it'll work better when you read volume 9 after this (whenever that comes out in english)
