I really want to like the stiry because I'm quite a fan of the art
The plot is okay? The story's concept is intriguing but the execution is just, not it
I won't bother read the last book being honest
Also the transphobia and homophobia is so unnesecary and stupid 🤡

This book isn’t any better from the first one. The homophobia in this book still repulses me and the gay characters are so stereotypical. The only reason i gave this more than 1 star is because i like the illustrations even tho they are questionable from time to time.

If you've read the first volume in this series and felt like you were left with more questions than answers, don't worry: volume two answers some of those questions! We get a lot more exposition and chunks of world-building in this one! Again, there are some tropes at play that lean toward the cheesy side of things, but it kind of makes the story a little more endearing. There's a lot of heart behind this story, and it shows. (Again, my only quibble seems to be with the jabs here and there at Hikaru-the-gay-roommate, and an additional jab at a character who seems like they're androsexual, to say the least.)

I'm not sure I have much to offer in the way of critical reviewing for this series; doing critical reviews of manga is tricky, to say the least, and I like this series besides.

I'm loving this manga, especially the songs. I wonder if someone's recorded them. . . If not, they should. This would also make a great anime :)
