They were great books. The special exam design was awesome and I also liked that it was covered in nearly 1000 pages, showing all kinds of different perspectives.
Now to the more spoilery and specific remarks:
::: ::: spoiler Spoiler
I was really looking forward to kiyotaka going all out in the second week to get first place. I was was kinda bummed out about the interferences leading to him not being able to follow his plan. It made sense though, there was no way Tsukishiro was going to let him do that.
Nanase was a mystery to me. They spent the whole first week together. She seemed to have endless capabilities. It was suggested before that she was the White Room agent. Their showdown in the mountains was awesome. Their fight and the leadup to it totally hooked me. What I thought was a bit weird is that before the reveal/fight it seemed like she was unbeatable, could do everything. But after the fight and their making up, she was portrayed way weaker, like a regular student. She’s no white room prodigy, but very fucking capable and strong overall. A huge player in the ability rankings.
I laughed so hard when kiyotaka just casually punched the lights out for Nagumo, leading to Koenji taking first place. Koenji has gotten way more mysterious for me instead of the opposite. He really seems to be superb in everything, except communication stuff and his attitude.
Horikita and Ibuki fighting Amasawa was great too. I thought it was unrealistic that their teamwork could nearly beat her if she really was a white room Agent. Her being brutally beaten before explained that. I wonder who beat her up like that though.
Overall, these two volumes were awesome and some of the best. I love the gradual character devilopmnets for everyone and Kiyotakas interest to help the other students mature.
I’ve read COTE Y2V3 and Y2V4
