Be prepared for this one to be rough when you go in. This volume focuses pretty heavily on a character whose trouble originates in her being sexually assaulted and struggling to deal with the rumors and gossip surrounding what happened to her. For what it was and what unfolded in the story, it was handled well in my opinion, but it's still rough and still has mild brief depictions of the assault.

The remaining part of the volume deals with Hokuto befriending a foreign woman working for a host club and trying to help her out of a tough situation. I found this annex chapter interesting, as Hokuto seems very open to befriending and embracing gaijin, which is surprising and feels forward-thinking given the time this was originally released and a lot of its contemporary media and the mindset of Japan at the time? I suppose I'm not too shocked, given this is a CLAMP title, but it was still a pleasant surprise nonetheless!
