In the postscript of Steal Moon 1, though, she seemed to be pretty content with the way things were going so... I don't know. =\

Also... wasn't Nozomi's fake death the end of v2ch1? I'm not sure if it would've been the end of a volume because she'd have to fit a LOT of content in there to make up that much room. While I agree Kai's return could've been the beginning a new volume, there was v2ch2, where Nozomi "interrogates" Coyote so...
