Goodreads Synopsis:

The adventures of mind “Sweepers” continue in this supernatural romance!

Fumi Nishioka lives with Kyutaro Horikita and his family of “Sweepers,” people who specialize in cleaning the minds of those overcome by negative energy and harmful spirits. Fumi has always displayed mysterious abilities, but will those powers be used for evil when she begins to truly awaken as a Queen?

Bug handler Ataru offers Kyutaro a deal—he’ll reveal everything about Fumi’s past if Kyutaro will do what he asks in exchange. Although Kyutaro knows this must be a trap, he goes to see Ataru… What devastating effect will Ataru’s evil plot have on Kyutaro and Fumi?

Review:

 There's a big show down with Ataru in this volume, who's hoping to take Kyutaro unguarded. This doesn't work out how he wants, but it definitely opens the way for them to actually get to know Ataru and find out what, or who, has lead him to this.
After that, there's a little reprieve for Kyutaro and Fumi, as they get massages to work through their physical and mental aches.
Fumi gets a message regarding Ataru, and so her and Kyutaro go to venture into his mind, knowing they're walking into a trap and yet unable to deny doing it. They fight two tough enemies, and Fumi struggles with her inner selves, until they come to the real issue. Ataru has been mistaking Fumi for someone else, for his supposed Black Queen, and now Fumi has to face her own Black Queen in order to move forward. It's a big risk, but she has to overcome it.
I'm curious how this battle is going to end, both because it could be really bad, and because I'm wondering how it's going to be handled. Psychologically, there's a few different ways they could take this black queen plotline.
This series is so intense, and I'm really enjoying it so far.
