I was not expecting anything amazing from volume 6. The previous volume, as I recall, showed the end of the Golden Age Saga, as well as continued onto the story of Rosine, which is revolved in the beginning of this volume. The volume goes on to detail a new major faction to the reader, the Holy See, and changes the state of play for all characters involved.

The set up to the return of Griffith, the many new characters involved with the Holy See, the invasion from the East, the return of characters from the Golden Age Saga, Puck's antics, Gut's realising the many errors he has made since the events of the Eclipse, Casca's baby making its initial impressions upon Guts and Casca, the Satanic sex pit, the positive but saddening portrayl of sex workers trying to survive while a witch hunt is taking place... so much happens in this volume, a lot of build up that not once felt boring or expositional, especially to a negative degree. 

I'm very excited to pick up the next volume.
