I never could get into the writing style from the first few volumes. Have things improved over time?

It is nice that the series is still going strong. Can't wait for more manga and anime.

Before this volume I would have said yes. The author is clearly much more comfortable and there's less repetition, but unfortunately that also means that Kagyu feels like narrative experimentation is fine, and they aren't...good at it.

I appreciate your non-spoiler reviews. They do a great job of summarizing the framework of the volumes without telling me what the book is about. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be. <3
Some people don't like seeing someone else's take before they start because they're afraid it will influence their experience, but I'm way more comfortable if I know a sliver of what to expect before I jump in blindly on my own. I'm a few volumes behind, but I'll be here soon!

Thank you, Juno016! That really means a lot to me. It's my goal for reviews, so I'm really glad I'm succeeding.
