Will this Queen with mind-control powers incite good or evil?
Fumi Nishioka lives with Kyutaro Horikita and his family of "Sweepers," people who specialize in cleaning the minds of those overcome by negative energy and harmful spirits. Fumi has always displayed mysterious abilities, but will those powers be used for evil when she begins to truly awaken as a Queen?
Inside the Casket, a shrine maiden tells Fumi that the White Snake of Despair is gone and that she will hand over the powers of the White Snake to Fumi. Meanwhile, Yanagi appears before the Casket, where the gradually vanishing White Cat fights him!

Once again, another volume of this series made me sob while reading 😭😭😭😭😭
I'm not even sure what to say, as I don't want to go into spoilers, but I will definitely say that this volume made me cry for two reasons.
The first, I can't give details about because of the characters it involves, but it was so heartfelt, beautiful, and crushing all at the same time. Truly stunning writing and art!
The second is the message of not giving in to despair. I feel there has been SO much despair in this series, yet Fumi herself has remained strong. No matter what has been said about her or done to her, she has chosen time and time again to act like a princess. When we see that briefest of flashbacks and how powerful Fumi's new outfit is, I felt so much courage gather in my heart. (Sorry if that's vague!)
That only continued as the series went on, and we continue to see Fumi's strength, but also near the end, when we finally learn about a promise made. Fumi is not the only one who has fought despair with everything in them.
When times in life right now DO feel despairing, I feel this volume hit my heart and reminded me not to cave or give in. Fight against evil, yes, but do not give into its clutches and have my heart transformed. Take the middle path and fight with everything in you to cling to that path.
