This may be one of my favorite volumes in the series so far!
This volume is all about "goals." Hisanobu has based his entire life on ranking himself and others; and dealing with his own inner demons, but meeting Shiratori and Hanasaki has caused a "chemical reaction" that has shed some new light on reality for him, and while Nomiya wants to create a "reaction" of his own, his actions may very well be a catalyst for something HUGE with his rival, Hisanobu himself. I cannot WAIT for Volume 10!
Thanks for reading along with me and for the support!
