I hate to say this, but with so many guys coming up to Aine with the intention of attacking her, it was bound to happen. As horrible as it was and this situation is, it was just too many close calls. But what I am glad about is that this is one of the few that actually tackle the issue. The consequences of such an attack. How do you face the day, put your life back together, regain normalcy, face your lover, face yourself? Where do you turn for help? These issues and solutions are basically tackled for the rest of the series.

A small warning for this volume. If you are uncomfortable reading about rape, please prepare yourself for this volume. This isn't the most violent depiction of rape I've ever seen in manga (I've seen worse), but it does happen and I know that some people really don't like reading about rape in their manga or fiction.
Shinjo does try very hard to make the aftermath as realistic as possible, so this isn't an overly glorified depiction of rape.

I don’t have much to say about this volume besides it got dark real quick. It started out sweet with Sakuya . Next thing I knew, Aine and Sakuya was . Onto the next volume!
Really?! Did it have to go there?
