This volume was longer than usual, so I was wondering what catastrophic thing Kato would do to my poor characters. However, she has done an amazing job expanding this arc and connecting everything back to the main story in this volume. By the end, Rin had all the answers he was looking for and so did I as a reader.  I wish I didn't have to wait so many months between volumes, but I prefer to read my manga in volume format. Besides that, I know it will be worth the wait. As for this volume, it was probably my favorite volume in this arc so far.
