Review:
Subaru continues to investigate the toxic positivity cult that is the MS Research Institute. After that comes a story about cherishing your elders. Then Hokuto saves and befriends a young foreign woman. After that comes some karaoke with the twins and Seishiro, the story of a young boy in need of a kidney transplant, Subaru discussing seeing eye dogs with a blind man, and the resolution to the mystery of Seishiro's motivations and the bet he and Subaru made when they first met.
The stories in this volume didn't work quite as well for me as the ones in the first omnibus volume - they were more heavy-handed and didactic.
Even though I had some idea of how things would turn out with Seishiro, it was still a shock when he revealed himself and the full extent of what he'd done throughout the series. I could understand why it hit poor Subaru so hard.
The stuff with Hokuto went so quickly that I thought for sure I'd missed something. I'd have preferred a bit more setup for that. The time jump at the end was also initially a bit confusing.
Overall, this wasn't my favorite CLAMP series, but I still enjoyed it.
Extras:
Several pages of full-color artwork.
