I love the illustration and the continuation of world building. Theo is such a cute character with him making friends with more of his trainees.

Another great volume! Beautiful art and amazing worldbuilding!
Here we watch Theo further train as a Kanfa, but we also get some character building outside of Theo. We get to see a very nice character arc with Aya. I felt the showed the overall stellar writing of the side characters and made the world feel more live in. Not everyone revolves around Theo. The book does a good job with its large cast.
The last chapter takes the series in a slightly new direction, introducing a new character, along with some worldbuilding.
The worldbuilding and story as a whole can be a bit wordy and hard to follow but it's usually placed fairly well. Races, history, library stuff, all sprinkled in. The world feels very alive and that great care was put into it.
I can't really think of any flaws, it's just a good series. If you liked the last 4 volumes, you like this one.
