We meet Dion, with whom Mia has a heck of a history. Mia gets into a fight with a tree (it's a draw). Weaponized selfishness saves the day. And Mia doesn't get shot by an arrow, not even once. And despite what the narrator would have us believe, in the end it's Mia's past kindnesses that really turn things around.
Love the art style. Mia's faces in this volume have definitely reached Anya Forger levels.
Dion always surprises me by looking so young. His actions and general outlook always make me think of him as a grizzled veteran, not a super-talented youngster.
This being the first manga I'm reading since the anime, it's really hard not to hear Mia's line in the voice of her VA. (: It was really such a great fit.
The afterword mentions a spinoff manga centered on the maids and other side characters, which I didn't know existed until now. Alas, no official translation. (Yet?)
