Beauty Is the Beast, Vol. 2 by Tomo Matsumoto
3.0
More dorm shenanigans in volume 2. First they throw a festival involving sexy outfits to raise money for the dorms. Wanibuchi has been made dorm president (because the dorm presidents always have to be male?? and are appointed, not elected??) as punishment for staying out all night and tending bar and walking around with his shirt off too much.
Then Misao's younger sister, Yutaka, shows up and we go into a tangent about her unrequited love issues with a dorm superintendent, who is old and also an asshole and a degenerate gambler. for some reason he agrees to sit tight until Yutaka becomes legal. (??)
THEN Eimi becomes homesick and refuses to leave her bed. not even for snacks. Wanibuchi comes by and cheers her up with flowers and by telling stories about his childhood in Mexico with his grandfather, and also taking his shirt off. (just kidding.) Having gotten out of bed with a greater understanding for Wanibuchi's character, Eimi accidentally dumps a vat of beverage over the already unreliable dorm television set, and for some reason brings it to the bar where Wanibuchi works, arriving just in time to...see him with his shirt off!
And then the dorm gets cockroaches. can't wait for volume 3!
