Brilliant manga is brilliant. I love how Takako is making the secondary cast shine and form their own personalities that aren't wholly reliant on the protagonists. Everything about this manga makes me happy and emotionally fulfilled and makes me wish I had volume three in my grabby little hands already.

This volume had more things happening and I got some interesting favorite characters too. I think I'm in love with this manga series.

A beautiful series, this second volume is even more poignant than the first and it's refreshing when our main characters discover more allies. However, they also face more problems than they probably anticipated when they first began exploring their sexual identities.

I think the way the story moves is kind of messy and the characters all look very similar so it's hard to tell who is who. But, the story overall feels very realistic. The way the children act and feel seem irrational in a way only children present. It's pretty great how realistic and true the story feels.
The relationship with Yuki is a little strange, but I understand her purpose in the story. I love Shu a lot and I just want to give them a huge. Poor baby.
I also like that they included a little bit at the end to compare being trans in the west vs being trans in Japan. It even touched on the romanticism of lgbt people in some manga and how that can also be harmful. I feel like we tend to view things through our own lens of how things should be, so we tend to ignore/forget that other cultures deal with things differently.

awww there's some cute friendship stuff happening here
i am a little worried about their friendship with yuki-san though? because i initially assumed she'd noticed the cross-dressing and was doing a solidarity/mentorship thing and once the story was like 'nope, it's a surprise to them all' i kind of have to tilt my head a bit at her behaviour. it's a bit sketch for an adult to invite a couple of eleven year olds to their house under any circumstance, take away the mitigating factors and just. :l i hope this storyline proceeds carefully
i do like that they have someone for a mentor now, i think it's a definite plus for them to know they're not alone
also i really liked the depth chiba and sasa were getting this volume. especially chiba, she's a good friend. 4 stars

I realize I'm starting in the middle, but these characters are completely inscrutable to me.
