Realistically this is a 3 but I struggle to lower Komi to a 3. I miss the earlier style of Komi volumes/chapters. There were a few moments in this volume that I really liked but the rest of it, again like previous volumes feel like the author is trying to fill in pages with random things. Sometimes the chapters don’t even make sense anymore, and I want more content with the old original group, like where did half the characters go? Najimi is barely in it and when they are now they’re kind of annoying. I miss Otori and Onemine, I’m glad they at least had a little focus in this volume. I also feel like there’s slow burn and then there’s slowww burn, Komi and Tadano as a ship is barely existent now and then there’s this whole love triangle thrown in? I dunno. I like Manbagi but I hate the whole sequel/third act love triangle/second love interest trope. Anyway, I realise I could stop reading Komi and I contemplated it a few times but I decided I have to keep going for the few characters I love because I want to know what they get up to. I hope the volumes/chapters get good again 🤞🏻
