3.0

Much the same as what you get in the first volume. Tohru is still cute. Kobayashi is still a bit problematic when she drinks. Everything is still silly and fanservice-y and fun.

There are, however, some hints that Tohru and Kobayashi's relationship is taking on more depth, both through their shared responsibility for Kanna (a dynamic that's basically a lesbian couple and an adopted child) and Kobayashi's willingness to stand up for Tohru when her past literally comes knocking at their door. I liked these moments of tenderness between them, and I would like to see more of Kobayashi reciprocating Tohru's affection.

One of the more delightful developments in this volume is Fafnir's assimilation into human life by becoming an otaku, going to far as creating his own doujinshi and attending Comiket. (As though it's not enough that his human form clearly rips off Sebastian from Black Butler.)
