Oh, Vol. 3. I didn't dislike it per se, but in my head I refer to it as the Hardy Boys volume; plucky boy detectives investigate mystery! I think I felt a little bit cheated at the end because I felt like it didn't move the plot forward or reveal much about the characters. The whole Fortune's Fang thing seemed like a cheat; when all was said and done they actually had nothing to do with WA, so there was really no forward plot movement. And I feel like all we learned about the characters was that Kubota felt like he had become a little bit more human in the past year. Which is great, but I wanted more.
I did love the omake she included at the end of the volume, though. I don't know, as I said I definitely didn't dislike it, but I don't think it resonated with me quite as strongly as the 4th or 5th volumes, which are my all time favorites.
