This volume was an absolute delight to read. I’ve watched season 1 of the anime (and am VERY excited for season 2), so I’ve seen the contents of this volume before, but it didn’t feel like I’d already seen/read it.
The characters are all 10/10. They’re all so sweet and lovable. Yor and Anya are best girls.

What won me over is that the emotional moments, when they happen, land well. Wacky shenanigans aside, it's a story about three people who are each, in their own ways, isolated from the world and yearning for a human connection that they've found in each other, and by the end of the volume I cared enough about them to want to see what happened next. (I don't know if I'm going to stick out the whole series, though; I suspect my tolerance for the wacky shenanigans may have its limits.)
