This has always been my favourite manga, I was curious to see if it will hold up. Granted I didn't read the entire series again, nor did anything actually start in this volume but I do think that it was a very good time investment. After coming back to reading a while back, manga has become quite a chore to read except for a couple of titles, so I was worried on how I would feel in this revisit. Thankfully that didn't happen at all.
The artwork is a rough, but I know that she gets so much better later on so no worries on that front. I did find myself intrigued once again with how everything went into this series, I also seem to have forgotten some things in regards to how we started out. Moreover, the dialogue now makes a lot more sense than it did on my first read of the series.
Namely because, I know the major reveals to happen later on.
Overall, this volume didn't progress the plot line all that much. It was just a set up, but it did succeed in two things: establishing the setting and interesting me in the progression of the plot so I consider it a win.
I will most likely continue the reread, but I know that I won't rush through it at all. It needs to be savoured :)
