TW: brief suicide ideation, adult encouraging a minor to kill themselves (spoiler:

listen, Rei's silly behind was encouraging that too much! that was way too much detail telling Mira how to go about doing it. of course, maybe he was bluffing her all along, knowing she had the will to live but just felt defeated. but it was DICEY for a good minute, y'all.

Another cute volume. We get the slightest whiff of Rei's backstory and why he feels akin to Mira. It looks like he's paying it forward. We also meet his energetic childhood friend. And get the full scenario of how Mira came under Rei's tutelage. 

This story is very slow-moving, but I think its slice-of-life nature is the biggest appeal. That and the artwork. The aerocrayons and some of the other magical lore are very fun and creative. I hope to see more of it too.

It will probably be volumes before there's real progress on Mira's condition, and the plot knows that. But it wants the reader to enjoy the ride getting there.
