Yeah, I don't have much else to add. This was a fantastic start to the showdown with Steel Lady Nanase. I absolutely love how Kotoko is delivering her solutions in cyberspace and how Katase creates the digital effects in the avatars and when Kotoko is showing something. The details are just so good and really enhance the storytelling. Not much else to say, really loved this volume. Looking forward to rereading the conclusion to the case.

Original review on 5/12/2020:
THANK YOU! Thank you for delivering such an awesome start to the actual trial! Holy shit, everything was spot on in this volume! The artwork, the paneling, Kotoko, the pacing, the exposition, all of it was incredible! The next volume's the longest so far, but if it keeps up this level of quality, I'm totes okay with that! Looking forward to the exciting conclusion of this arc!

Arrghhh this is beginning to feel way too drawn out, by this point. Each "explanation" could be cut down by a few pages...

This volume was shorter, but had less forward movement…it kind of felt like a filler episode as the crew attempt to sway public perception of the urban legend monster.

I understand that this series' origin is from a light novel but good lord can we get through this Steel Lady Nanase storyline already? Could this be the longest story arc for a manga series ever? I honestly don't even care how it's going to end at this point, I just want it over.

Things seem to be wrapping up in the Steel Lady Nanase case, but I could be wrong. A good volume, but is basically just the continuation of the battle that began in the last volume.
