Definite improvement over the last volume. Less senate redistricting and budget reallocation; more using magic, technology and friendship to fight monsters.
Tachibana is so sweet, I love seeing Kana take the reigns and try to reach out to her friend. Girl REALLY needs some work-life balance (and money, she needs money). I like that we get to explore her and flesh out Ast a bit more to show they're clearly a rival company but not, you know, EVIL evil (probably).
