This time, they're going to the center of Japan (after exploring the Northern and Southern in previous books) with something more dramatic than we ever imagined.
The pacing was faster than before, which I love! But also felt that some unexplained gap had been left, while some had been exposed easily. As in the part where Mashio-kun has a conversation with Kokuyo about his brother's feelings toward the absurd things that occurred with them. After being brainwashed for several years, just a punch and a word from a stranger should not lift everything. (On the other hand, also understand this will close the gap when both brothers will eventually reconcile in the end)
I like it when the writer tries to add the complexity of the politics in the village. The dynamic of the head of the maid (?), head of the mansion, and the true head of the mansion. Thus, it is not strong enough to accept the point. Like Kazakana allows the head of the maid to be able to intervene in the power because she was his woman (whom he had already bored with playing with)
For me, I'm really nostalgic and want to reread the เรื่องเล่าพิสดารของเหล่าเด็กสาวผู้ถอดกระดูก as many characters have been mentioned (and they're a help you connect the dots more when leading to the last act of this book) *recommended to revisit the vol.1 first if you can't remember it completely*
In that sense, I would like them to continue to explore new adventures together in the other part of Japan. (And some happy ending for Mashio-kun, too.)
