I debated between 2 & 3 stars for this but I went with 3 because I think it has potential. But this volume had a lot of stuff to set up and I think it only halfway set up any of it. Pretty convoluted. I think maybe he was going for mysterious but... that has limits. Also the scratchy lettering made it hard to read.

also based on reviews and stuff that I read about this I was thinking about booktalking it to junior high kids and then I read it and realized the villain's name is SADISTO and I don't want to say that out loud >:(

When volume 2 comes out I will probably read it to see what happens with Aurora. She's cool. She can stay.
