For the last omnibus volume, the story endured through an excavation of the fashion industry, introduced a new character, and steer our leads into hard choices. It felt like a set-up for something significant, and lo and behold, a new complication is in the mix. With its romantic foundations potentially shaken, and our lead, once again, clueless and dizzy by this sudden development, Akiko Higashimura has foreshadowed a path towards reformation and teases potential catharsis. Volume 7 is a middle-of-the-road assembly of chapters that are only as fascinating when reviewed as a piece of an entirety rather than on its own two feet.
