Another great volume! I loved getting to see

Maomao go home and interact with her guardian, the brothels, and friends of hers

. I also adored the depictions of

Jinshi reacting to Maomao's homecoming

; it was just as funny in the manga as it was in the anime! I love seeing their relationship develop and grow. Definitely one of my favorite chunks of the story. Can't wait for the next volume!
