Pretty crazy volume. Kiyotaka seems to have pretty much abandoned any pretense about his true ruthlessness at this point.
Only 12.5 to go and year 2 is over.

Release Date July 25, 2024 (JP); August 1, 2024 (JP, Digital)
Synopsis
“If we both end up not getting expelled from the special exam, make some time for me then.”
The long second year is finally reaching the final stage with the last special exam: the "End of Year Special Exam."
Each class will select in advance three representatives: one vanguard, one centre, and one captain, to compete in elimination matches against the representatives of the opposing class. However, the contents of the exam will not be known until the day of the exam.
“I will show you and Sakayanagi my true power. It's not like me, but I will defeat you fair and square.”
“After the end-of-year special exam is over, let's have a cup of tea leisurely. After defeating him, it's the battle against you in the third year, Ayanokōji-kun.”
Ryūen and Sakayanagi, only one person will survive――
The climax of the second year arc of the hugely popular school apocalyptic series!

Pretty crazy volume. Kiyotaka seems to have pretty much abandoned any pretense about his true ruthlessness at this point.

another disappointing volume
so much for the "potential" of horikta , she just keep in taking Ls since start of year 2 and here again lost badly against ichinose
really character assassination is going on in this volume OF ALL THE CHARACTERS - horikta ,arisu, ryueen , kei
so pathetic of kanzaki - another hype by kinu, "kanzaki going to create a revolution" lmaoo my*ss
the kiyo kei conversation really got onto my nerves , it felt so toxic from kiyo.
even someone who is not fan of kei would this toxicty very disguesting
i really hurts to see kei getting broken down bit by bit by kiyotaka
i am huge kei fan and i cant see her character going down the drain like this
and i made up mind
I DONT WANT KEI X KIYO , FRICKING BREAK UP IN NEXT VOLUME,
i dont want kei no where near this MF EDGE LORD
sorry for the rant, its just a disappointment after disappointment every volume since vol 5 of year 2
its just baits after baits
here are some examples
kiyo vs nagumo
Horikta "potential"
next gen whiteroom students biggest threat to kiyo (poor yagami)
and many more....
Felt the same, but with ichinose tbh.
Didn't Kinugasa want to expel Kei in Year 1? But she had so many fans he chose to leave her in. But he had no plan to continue with her character so we're kind of stuck with her hanging around but not really doing anything
Classroom of Potential. Horikita took L despite all potential allegations, Ichinose got bamboozled (this one kinda not suprise), Arisu simps (how tf is that message things she realised...), Ryuuen had some good moments but also got smooth talked by Kiyotaka... At this point I'm just waiting when Ayanokouji will finally change class, maybe things will start to be more interesting... Regardless, it was kinda interesting volume considering bad health of author, I hope that he gets better
This volume was crazy... It could be summarized as "Ayanokouji mentally breaks all the four classes leaders!" (+ Maezono as a bonus).
