A large part of this volume is about an inappropriate relationship dynamic that the uncle undertakes while he was a pottery class instructor. Keep that in mind
Graphic: Adult/minor relationship, Alcoholism, Child abuse, Confinement, Domestic abuse, Emotional abuse, Gore, Infidelity, Mental illness, Misogyny, Sexism, Sexual content, Sexual violence, Toxic relationship, Violence, Blood, Suicide attempt, Death of parent, Murder, Schizophrenia/Psychosis , Fire/Fire injury, Gaslighting, Toxic friendship, Alcohol, Sexual harassment, Injury/Injury detail, and Classism
There is content involving an adult and a teen that leads to inappropriate and dark things, there’s deaths or near deaths shown that are depicted in incredibly brutal fashion, even when we get back to PunPun in middle school there’s a kind of social psychological warfare between him and a classmate regarding someone significant from the first volume and a character causes great harm to himself. It’s a much darker volume. This volume might be too much for some people. I found it to be tough material but fascinating.immaculate's review against another edition

i'm not sure if i can say i like this volume because it was extremely triggering, but if yuichi's backstory hadn't gone into detail i probably would've liked it more. the contents aren't overly detailed in a way that turns it into torture porn but still. please read content warnings beforehand.
Graphic: Adult/minor relationship, Pedophilia, Suicidal thoughts, Suicide attempt, and Fire/Fire injury
Moderate: Child abuse and Emotional abuse
Minor: Alcoholism, Toxic relationship, Abortion, and Pregnancy
i wish someone had warned me before reading this volume, but there is a massive trigger warning for pedophilia in yuichi's backstory. like graphic. (more in spoilers but i'll save the detail)
