Quality of Production - Same as previous installments (9-10)
Setting, Plot, & Climax - Absolutely excellent (10-10)
Dialogue - Flows smoothly throughout but minor adjustments never hurt (8-10)
Artwork & Style - Very high quality - The story relies heavily on the ability to convey the emotions visually. Nailed it (10-10)
My final thoughts are still kind of in the honeymoon period since I just finished my read about an hour ago, but still unbiased... no, they are totally biased.
While reading through, I found myself playing the Trois Gymnopedies in my head (The melancholy piano BGM from TDoHS Movie), remembering all the little details and the empty sounding voice that is burned in my mind from watching that movie on repeat so many times. You may also get a little sense of nostalgia, whether it be from the way eyes can be drawn to look so blank and cold, or the positioning of a person sitting in a room by a window reading. Trust me, my nostalgia is not unfounded and I hope you decide to find out for yourself. Buy it.

The Yuki in this volume is not the same Yuki-chan we've been seeing in the past three. She's no longer the rather awkward and funny Yuki of this series, but something more like the classic Yuki of the original series. This makes for a fun "cameo" if you will, but creates problems. For one thing it takes us rather out of the plot we've been following for the past three volumes as this world's Yuki is barely in the story. Thus progression has taken something of a backseat to a different type of story. One that can be considered more dramatic, yes, but doesn't have quite the same feel of importance. Part of the fun of this series has been watching this version of Yuki overcome her shyness and evolve as a character, this volume's Yuki isn't the main protagonist, any character development for her will only be temporary...
It sounds like I'm complaining, but I don't actually think it's bad. Just different from what I expected of this series. I would classify it as my least favorite volume, but I can still happily give it 4 stars.
Enough about complaints though, there are improvements here! My biggest complaint in the first volumes was that a lot of the characters looked too much alike in this art style... that problem has been solved. The artist has obviously improved from the first volumes (just compare any page in this book to volume one), which makes for a much more enjoyable experience.
In closing: The art has improved greatly. The plot is good, but while it seem to want to move things forward, the very nature of this story forces its characters to stand still. It's still enjoyable, but other than resolving the cliffhanger, there's very little progression. Still looking forward to where the next volume will take us.
