I really love this volume for several reasons. For one, I am also a former member of the publication club when I was in JHS and SHS — reading the first half of this brings back memories. The stress, the pressure of thinking and writing interesting topics and then latter debating it with my fellow journalists was pure nostalgia. The first half, 'Editor-in-chief, full speed ahead', tackles about the Lit Club being a target for suspension as such that it didn't produced a single Lit-related paper, the SOS Brigade being illegal occupants in the Lit Club room, was tasked to produced one by the end of the week.

For the second story, Wandering Shadow, this involves a little exorcism in a funny way. The drive of youth is exhilarating. It is when a client of the SOS Brigade tackles about her dog being sick in which a rumour spread that a ghost was behind all this. Now, the SOS Brigade seeks to resolve such matters.

This volume revolved around Nagato with the right execution of the other SOS members. Nagaru Tanigawa's writing Kyon's monologue personality is improving and the fact that he is maturing is a great thing. Nagaru's writing is hilarious. Yes, I can't help laughing. And also annoyed due to Kyon's hormones — but in this volume it appeared less which is a breather.

Thank you.
