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

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.

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。

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.
