The stereotypical characters and voices in this one killed me a little but I still enjoyed the overall experience.

Not as perfect as the rest but pretty close — I was surprised I didn’t cry but it was a tough one to read.

The last two episodes (5&6) were so worth the slow start, especially chapter 6 — stay for chapter 6. Sweet and wholesome but also dark and mysterious. I love that they don’t shy away from heavy topics. Generally enjoyed the whole volume.
