Wow! The volume was longer than expected and so much plot has moved forward. It reminds me dystopian films where an "elite group" has been made by a group of long-standing survivors who try to create some sort of order by the ranks within the group.

I think the ending really helped this book for me because I know that we are about to get to a great part of the plot.

loved this but deducting stars because of the goddamn misogyny. it’s more apparent in the second installment than the first. kuina & usagi aren’t as strong as they are in the show at all and even though I shouldn’t be comparing the two it’s just ridiculous how amazing all the female characters are written in the show vs. how they’re just… not as important here. sigh. story is awesome, but ….. yeah. aside from chishiya (his character design is excellent… it’s so subtle but even visually he is so reminiscent of the cheshire cat), usagi & kuina were my favorites in the show so it’s just very disappointing to see them being very. bland. and unnecessarily sexualized. I will say that an exception to this so far seems to be an - she is still a background character for now but her primary trait is definitely her intelligence and not her body. which I appreciate. but who knows, things may change.
it’s very funny how quickly arisu became attached to usagi like all she did was give him a dead rabbit and now he is so ready to sacrifice himself to ensure her safety and escape from borderland. definition of down bad.
