The last volume, sob!

But it is a banger, starting out just as I'd hoped with a Ferdinand POV around draining her mana, and then going into that shared POV where we get to see not only the Rozemyne-Ferdinand interactions but also Ferdinand's reactions to the events of the first volume.

"Holy heck, I was so tiny!" "Did you ever worry about accidentally stepping on me?" 😂

I also really enjoyed the contrast of Myne reacting to her family's actions in the meeting with Bezewanst as a normal noble might have, with Ferdinand's now more emotional take. Nice reversal, such depth.

Smart of him to show her the Japanese crafts since he didn't have memory of her lower city crafting.

Gunther: "If whoever you marry can't protect you, I'll come beat him up myself." 💕

and then at the very end, when Rozemyne sees Ferdinand relax with relief when she finally returns to consciousness...

"He must have broken or something." 🤣

I love the cover art. Alexandria is going to be a beautiful dutchy.

Coincidentally, my family had just started a rewatch of the season 1 anime this week and as is typical of this series, every time I go back and reread or rewatch I find deeper resonance and connections that I didn't notice the first time. Amazing timing on our part to do it now. In addition, the commentary in Fanbook4 talks about some of the art for the season 1 anime and man this all just ties together so brilliantly.
