The way the Great Sage interfered and changed things made the storyline more interesting, although it’s sad to see some of the enemies who come after them.
Also, changes in what has happened this time around is raising the stakes and increasing the potential conflict, which makes the story even more interesting to follow.
Tomochika’s new skill is really awesome! I love the scenes where she shines.
For some of these volumes, I like the bonus stories at the end as much as the regular story, and this is one of them. I love how the ending story explains why he went on the first rampage that’s described in the earlier books, and which also hints at his origins a bit more.
