[hotsake (André Troesch) · Rating 3 out of 5]

The beginning was incredibly repetitive (purposely so), which made it hard to get into. After the rocky intro, things settled into the regular fun formula.

I'm biased. Any Kino no Tabi book will automatically get 5 stars if there's nothing disturbing me. This volume is no exception. For a long while, I could only describe Kino no Tabi as a twisted collection of stories about human society in the form of an adventure, fantasy story. Now with the viewpoint of a 'new' me, I can finally name the 'twist' - the many conflicts in social behavior.

Things were figuratively discussed in volume 6:
+ atone for sins or selfish acts to relieve oneself, the suffering of the victim's family;
+ violence vs non-violence;
+ resource surplus, no communication -> misinterpretation;
+ living to others' expectations;
+ self-enhancing triad (people normally overestimate their good points, overestimate their control over events and are unrealistically optimistic) -> bad things will not happen again;
+ real danger - weapons or human?
+ selfish vs selfless

素晴らしかったです！特に初めての「彼女の旅」と最後の「祝福のつもり」と言う話はお勧めします。「旅の途中」も面白かったです。

ทุกคนมีการเดินทางของตัวเองเพื่อบางอย่างบางสิ่งถูกผิดใครตัดสิน

I think this was one of the better batches of short stories. Still don't think this one tops the first or second volumes, but there were a few really good chapters that hit similar highs.
