Another excellent installment of this manga. Shion continues to navigate life in the West District. He gets further aquatinted with Dog Keeper and hashes out his and Nezumi's conflicting ideas of how to best handle No.6. Meanwhile, his mom learns the dangers of the city government that rules them, and Safu catches some unwanted attention. I like the tension in developing character relationships, as well as its contrast with how much everyone both resents Shion for being so care free and adores him for being a sweet and carefree person. This series is my one exception to how much I hate reading dystopian works.
The end notes mention that this volume takes place roughly spanning vol3 and 4 of the novels.
