*This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review. Trigger warning for suicide. Recommended for mature readers.
Ms. Shiba, Reiji’s teacher, stops him from his suicide attempt and voes to help him through his troubles. In doing so, she gets too close to her student. Meanwhile, Chako is able to meet up with her favorite writer, Esemori.
Oh my gods, all I could think of reading this is that poor Reiji is being taken advantage of by all these asshats. This volume is broken, unhappy people trapped in a broken situation that is bound to implode. When it does, it isn’t going to be pretty; especially for Ms. Shiba. 3.9 out of 5.
