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.
Review:
Subaru Sumeragi is a 16-year-old onmyoji who lives with his twin sister, Hokuto. Subaru is heir to the Sumeragi clan and regularly exorcizes spirits as part of his clan duties. He and his sister are friends with Seishiro Sakurazaku, a veterinarian and member of a clan of assassins. Seishiro isn't involved in his clan's activities and is nothing but nice to the twins (in fact, he's downright flirty with Subaru).
In this volume, Subaru deals with the ghost of an actress at the Tokyo Tower, a comatose girl who turns out to be Subaru's first love, and three girls on a party line with Sailor Moon fantasies. There's also the start of a storyline involving something that seems to be a cult - this one doesn't finish up until the next volume.
Throughout all of this is a thread of mystery concerning Seishiro and his true motivations. Although he's always kind to the twins, there appears to be a darker and more sinister side to him.
