This was an interesting read. I like how Maria is tarting to change, and generally seeing her character development. I like Yusuke and Shin. The emotional stuff in this series occasionally goes over my head, lol. I enjoyed the development with Tomoyo. I don't love her, but it was interesting. 4 stars. Very unique.

This was an excellent read! I love how deep this series is. This volume in particular packed a lot in. it mainly explored Yusuke and Tomoyo's relationships with Maria and the people around them, along with themes of kindness, fakeness, and being oneself. As I said the first time I read this, it's a very unique series. I've read significantly more manga in the past three or four years than I had at the time I first read this, when I had only read a bit of manga, and I can stand by that statement. In addition, the art in this is great and the fashion is very 2000s, in a fun way. 4.5 stars, rounded up!
