I didn't love this volume despite some big jumps in story.

Okay I think I just felt a little "bored" reading this one? Maybe because the begining effects are starting to feel off but Nailbiter just isn't capturing with moments like it did in the first few volumes. I especially didn't like Crane in this volume and she's usually my favorite character. Also the Hack/Slash crossover felt pointless, even when it did connect back to the main story.

However I liked getting the reveal of who was behind the black mask. I also loved seeing Alice finally make advancements in her story and she's becoming more interesting. The ending leaves it up to finally face off against the "master" soon and that does get me excited.

Overall a decent volume but nothing amazing. I had higher hopes for this one. Still a 2.5-3/5 though.
