It’s interesting to get backstory regarding when Rinko found Kuroe. You still have to disband your belief in how she is a human-Kaiju hybrid. You can’t blame Koutarou for being on alert as he is because well people’s lives could be at stake here.
The frustrating part of the volume is the drama centering on Minami and Kuroe. Daichi being an extremely tall grade schooler. On one hand Kuroe sees a bit of herself in him being he is an outlier. Sadly miscommunication along with the acting gig that Minami has going on just makes things worse.
At the very least Minami is going after Kuroe. Though what we see is a flying Kaiju going after Kuroe which we are getting the sterortucal Kaiju battle,
