This volume comes full of some really fun pannel and page designs. I really liked the dream sequence pages because of the beautiful pannel breaking. I also loved learning about food and drink typical to a cold in Japan. I realized that was somehow not something I knew before, so it was fun seeing the characters make okayu and pick up Pocari Sweat for their sick housemother.
