Reading a bit of this this weekend.
It's hard to jump back in when it's been a bit since I read the series. There's a reset of sorts, so the character stuff is maybe easier to get into though (although, maybe you care less knowing that they'll probably get their memories back at some point and that'll be the big thing that moves the plot forward).
They're setting up Merry vs Shihoru for Haru hard in the part I left off on. Setora not much of a romance factor so far this volume, just setting up how capable she is. I kinda like the idea of Shihoru x Kuzaku, but that doesn't seem to be progressing much if at all this volume.
I'm kinda curious what's happening with some of the other groups, particularly that tall mage that liked Haru and the boyfriend + girlfriend(?) duo that named a few of the regions outside of Grimgar (girl had, like, a leather and whip outfit or something, Lala). Wouldn't be a bad time to bring some of these characters back now that the region is facing a serious threat.
