#shirakaba

Author: Iori Miyazawa

Illustrator: shirakaba

Label: Hayakawa Bunko JA

Release Date: 19 March 2025

My Score: 4/5

English Release: J-Novel Club is currently releasing this series in English as Otherside Picnic.

Another excellent volume in an excellent series. The first chapter has an honestly chilling portrayal of a lap pillow. The second chapter continues the story with Luna and goes back to refocus on the mystery of Uruma Satsuki. And the third and final chapter takes us back to the Otherside as the girls search for ammo, and then Toriko meets Benimori. I don't have much to say about this volume. As per usual for this series, it was entertaining, and I love Toriko's and Sorao's relationship and the portrayal of queer identities. Just another good volume all around.
