It's been a while since I read the previous volume. Fortunately, Chibimaruko is chapter oriented, so there's no continuing plot, meaning nothing to remember. There are less chapters in this volume than there was in the previous volumes because there's a extremely long chapter in here that wasn't part of the original serialization. I liked the story as it was bit touching with two of Maruko's classmates having to split because one of them was moving away. It was a bit too drawn out though, in my opinion. The final chapter with a peek into the future was interesting.

Bonus is a bookmark and postcard, like the previous volumes.
