Delightful! More substantial than the first in every way, with longer and better put together stories. Lots of genuinely lovely art and an abundance of illustrations. Good stuff.
I was going to lost my favorite stories, but I liked all of them! This volume is much more polished and impressive than the first one and I would confidently recommend it to just about anyone.

I'll go look for Volume 1 for sure. so happy this exists & that I got it over the weekend at a books fest! 'no tragic endings' right there on the back, thank YOU. more of this, please. I'm very pleased.

my favourites: Wildflower Knights, Reflections of a Glassmaker, Kantha, Willow Marsh, Flowers in the Wind, La Estudiante, & Dolores & the Dollfaces, but really, I love them all. I'M SAD THAT THE COVER ITSELF ISN'T A STORY. I want that one! it's definitely why I even spotted this and picked it up in the first place because I was browsing so, so many books that day.

Much like the collection before it, Dates II is heartwarming, queer to the brim, and full of stories that leave the reader wanting more.

Loved this volume as well! Absolutely stunning work, and with such variety too! Heartfelt, fun, and gorgeous overall. Onto volume three!

3.5 stars. I loved the variety in culture and presentation, gender and sexuality. And happy endings! Delighted to have all happy endings, all kinds of happy. However, the quality of the writing/ art was up and down, with many stories feeling truncated rather than short. Still, a lovely little volume!
