I liked the previous volume a lot more. Mayuko is better in this one. More true and realistic. But the rest of this chapter is full of unrealistic cliché. This is just more melancholy dark-haired women/ successful and confident blonde women tropes. It's like a cheap Saturday-evening tearjerker.

I liked the previous Mayuko a lot more.
But nevertheless, this was a great chapter. I like how this manga doesn't think that a resolution is necessary for every conflict. Very true.
