Haruaki's summer has only just begun, and it's turning out to be anything but a vacation! Hospitalized after getting injured in a building fire, he'll be on a bumpy road to recovery as late-night medical horrors, an investigation into the mystery of how youkai are born, and a supernatural incident at Sano's part-time job won't give him a moment to relax! 

It's the start of summer break as we embark on this volume, and Haruaki obviously kicks the break off at the hospital courtesy of the last volume! We get to spend some time with the creepy doctor in this volume, as he takes quite an interest in Haruaki and his visitors Amaki and Izuna. I really did enjoy getting to see some more of Izuna, and the doctor was a fun addition to things...but don't worry the creepiness is offset by the humour! 

We got a hilarious look at each of the students summer vacations, along with Miki and the Principle and I also enjoyed how those little snippets were done. Of course we get a longer look at Haruaki's summer break as he volunteered to let Sano stay with him. There's a nice, creepy change of pace thanks to the cursed book which was enjoyable, before it descended in to hilarity pulling in some familiar faces we haven't seen a lot of, or at least in a while! 

Of course, I love mythology, legends and lore so I loved getting a lot more of the youkai mythology in this volume, particularly looking at the origins and birth of the various different types of youkai and it lead to an interesting reveal! 

However, I think my favourite part of this volume aside from the horror movie style cursed book chapters...were the chapters with Beniko at her family's B&B. Not only was it fun to spend time with Beniko and her three dads, one of whom (Kotake) cracked me up, but it was nice to get a bit of good old spooking too, reminiscent of the start of the series when they tried to get rid of Haruaki. I just love that we get to see more of some youkai than others for a volume and then for the next volume switch to a different one! I feel like the series is letting us get a good look at each of the youkai characters by doing things this way! 

Focusing back on youkai mythology and letting us get a good look at the students powers again, this volume was a slight return to the earlier volumes I feel, and we're presented with another fun and entertaining volume with hints of creepiness offset by the humour!
