The biggest negative this volume has is its mini race that’s straight up bad. The racers calling each other nerds, fat or even hicks is just terrible. Then of course Tak just effortlessly wins a race. Hoping the physical versions update this cause it was not fun but besides that this is the best volume in a while, we got the old crew at the beginning and then another romance happening in the second half.
