This issue was brilliant. I think I'll put more details in a Spoiler-warning and would recommend reading this part without knowing what exactly might be happening and how everything is set up.
It starts a bit slow but I really loved how the plot developed within the last few pages of the book. Everything before was the perfect setup of the scene. I was hit with a lot of different emotions on the last few panels.

The only thing I am not exactly happy with is everything is leading to a romance between Kanako and Soma. I loved their mentor-mentee dynamic and the romance spoiled the series a bit for me. The setup itself feels organic and not forced, this detail is just not for me.
