4.0

This one was a bit more plot heavy than some of the others, but it definitely makes sense now that everyone’s backstories are pretty much flushed out. I was not expecting
Nuriko to have so much going on - deciding to be done with dressing as a woman, letting her late sister go, and then her (possible?) death… yikes. I really hope it isn’t the end for there and that Mitsukake can save her.
Hopefully we’ll get some answers in the next volume!
