Spoiler warning if you've never seen the anime.
This volume begins with the fan-favorite changeling arc, a charming and adorable switcheroo that has led to countless cosplays (especially of elf!Senshi, as the old fanfic communities would have dubbed him). But then we reach the end of what’s been adapted into the anime, and we reach completely new-to-me story. A huge milestone!
Immediately, things go off the rails, storywise. I mean that in a good way: Kabru brings the elven Canaries into the dungeon, before we learn who the Canaries are and what their methods are, and chaos is the result. I’m assuming we didn’t just lose a major secondary character — in a story like this, he’s bound to turn up for the next twist in the tale — but it was a dramatic and unexpected moment all the same.
Now I have to wait until next month before I can allow myself to continue the story, for financial reasons.
