3.5

This volume wasn’t as strong as the previous ones, mainly because of the beginning and the frustrating sexism from the parents. The continuation of the abduction storyline didn’t quite hit the mark for me—the execution felt a bit messy and could have been handled better.

That said, the backstory reveal was something I totally saw coming. I mean, come on—it was obvious that Dojo was her “prince”! The story was practically screaming it from the start. Still, it was fun to have that confirmation.

Kasahara remains a loveable protagonist, but her ditziness sometimes drags on, which can get frustrating. I love that she always puts in her best effort, but there are moments where I just want her to catch on already.

Overall, while this volume had its rough spots, I still enjoyed it and am looking forward to seeing how the story continues!
