kinda similar vibes to volumes 2 and 3, but much more enjoyable thanks to Lena 🙏

imo the Sirin concept is pretty interesting but a tad overused so i’m curious to see how Asato will thread them in the rest of the story!


finally, a plain confession/rant:
in the anime adaptation I find the war/soldier discussion quite interesting and think it’s super cool but in the LNs i honestly couldn’t care less about the fighty fighty scenes. tbh i just skim through most of it to get to the fluffy scenes between the characters lmao
