Most recent volume, Lies Sleeping, had some stuff advance the plot (that's understatement...).Like many series, around book 3-4 the thing takes off (imho). And the world building gets fun. I still can't decipher Peter Grant's Sierra Leonean mother's creole (is that the right term?) as represented on the page.Also read a graphic novel this evening called "Cemetery Kids Don't Die" which is a chilling reflection on virtual reality/social media. Overall though I won't continue. I'm kind of done with stories of high school age kids. Call me old, but that's how it is for me now. Another series that I think I'm done with is Under Ninja, I finished vol 5 last week. While the protagonist, a ninja, is an adult (barely); the book has veered into being set in a high school. There are SO FREAKING MANY manga set in japanese high schools that I imagine non-Japanese manga/anime fans are as familiar with the japanese manga high school tropes as american high school clichés. Anyway, my decision to stop after vol 5 is aided and abetted by the fact that I think vol 6 is well nigh impossible to get in dead tree anyway.Still enjoying Versus, Kagurabachi, and Tower Dungeon; but unfortunately my FLGS is having trouble getting their hands on the new volumes <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="😭" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f62d.png" title="Loudly crying face    :sob:" data-shortname=":sob:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" /></blockquote>
