...death.
Well, not quite. Despite this volume being severely rushed I found the ending to be the best of a series of not good endings. Having Suseri being the head of the house while Sakuya and Shinichirou remain outside, but closely linked to, the house allows the dynasty to retain its power. The ending was sadly open, I would have liked for Shinichirou to reject Suseri or openly two-time.
As for the rest of the story it was fine. There were battle scenes, good devleopment on Suseri's end and a workable villian to keep the story going. Any story where a lead character grows from their household will always avoid getting a bad review from me. That being said my comment on chapter 34.5 still holds, that was a disgusting chapter that should never have been released as part of the story, fetish be damned. That, combined with mediocre art and indecisive min couple reduces the rating of this story, more so than the final volume being rushed.
6/10.
