That ending!! What am I supposed to do with that ending?!? Listen, this manga series is a great character study and I honestly didn't realize that or even think about it until I got to this volume. I was instantaneously turned off by the grandfather from the moment he meets our main characters, but it progressively got worse. He lacks compassion and care. However, the development of his character in this volume blew away everything that I thought I knew about him. The tension continues to build between our two characters and I'm just holding my breath for what will happen when Tsubaki figures out that Nao isn't who she says she is. Absolutely adored the art in this one especially the sweets that were served during a tea ceremony.

The drama just ramps up higher and higher. I want to be frustrated that nothing is getting resolved but only progressively getting more complicated. But I am loving every twist of Grandfather’s stare, every sneer from Mother’s lips, and every coy glance between Tsubaki & Nao. Exactly how much more of the tense drama can I tolerate before I crack under the “will you resolve something already” cry? We’ll see. But I have the feeling the answer is going to be “a lot!”
