The characters are definitely growing on me (most of them, anyway. I really don't like Kuranosuke's brother). I was kind of impressed with the development in this one. I wasn't expecting much-or any, really-of it after being disappointed with vol 1. When I started reading the series, I didn't know much about it and thought it was going to be mostly silly and campy. Things got unexpectedly serious and it sort of escalated quickly in some parts, but I liked it. I don't know what to expect for the rest of the series (I can't imagine how this spreads out over fourteen volumes), but I'm a lot more interested and excited to see where it goes.

Who am I going to ship? 🤔

Oh well, unfortunately not as good as the first volume :( my excitement diminished a little bit :( which is a shame because Vol. 1 was so funny! What I loved the most was the author's note at the end of the book. She is so funny! Crazily funny.

Too bad that there is a love triangle **sighs**. I can't stand love triangles, I despised them. They bore me to tears. The love triangle is between Tsukimi, Kuranosuke and his brother, XXXX (I can't remember his name). Tsukimi is 18, and her love interest is a 30-year-old virgin, but whatever. Kuranosuke is slowly realizing he likes Tsukimi as a girl, but Tsukimi does not see him as a potential lover at all. In fact, she shed her first "unrequited love" tears **sighs**. What a shame, silly tears have a role in this manga.

I will continue reading this (since I have the anime and live action in my TBW shelf) but I am not as excited as I was yesterday.

Estar resfriada es la pefecta excusa para leer tooodo el día :)

If the anime made me laugh, the manga made me laugh harder.

Just found out that apparently on Kindle the books are a two in one large edition and I didn't know that so I thought I only finished volume one but it turns out I have already finished volumes one and two and that the book I've been starting on today is actually volume three and four. So I guess my review for the first volume is also my review for the second volume? When I go through and review volumes three and four I will do it halfway through the volume and then at the end of the volume? My review from the first one still stands, definitely cute and moving onto the next one?

A ponerse sus armaduras chicas!

Que tema tan importante y que bonita forma de abordarlo, aunque puede llegar a tocar algunas susceptibilidades porque no creo que todos estén de acuerdo sobre el uso o no del maquillaje, como yo lo veo tiene toda la razón después de todo una no puede ir a la guerra sin armadura.

[Cecillie]

This series continues to be kind of cute and really weird. With just a smidge of horror added since the older brother is now thinking he has been assaulted... which he has been, just not to the complete degree he might be thinking. So that's kind of a weird and fucked turn for this series to take if I'm honest.

[Noninuna]

This is pretty good. I was expecting something less funny than previous volume due to a lot of comments giving it average ratings. I just realize that this mangaka also penned Tokyo Tarareba Girls that I saw its adaptation last year, which one of my favorite! 😍🎆

[Emi えみ Takami 鷹見]

Read in omnibus form

[Katie]

Another charming installment of this series! I loved the scene with Kuranosuke as Oscar.

[milo]

Noooo pas de triangle amoureux pitié jpp de ce trope

[Allie]

So tired of the damn afro jokes. Also the female antagonist I hope she's exposed for the criminal she is and what she did to big bro. Otherwise, I love this manga

[OnTheSamePaige]

Charming. Silly. Melancholy. Aching.

Lovely.

[Zim]

Chieko! Kimono! Yes!

[Deanna Perkins]

I didn’t realize that my book set combined multiple volumes. Oops. Starting volume 3 next. I’ll try to actually update when I finish that and start volume 4 in my 2nd book.

[may ✶]

i really dislike kuranosuke’s brother but hello????? the lady literally drugged him??????????

[Justine]

Very cute and fun. There’s a very nice flow to it. There’s a bit where they go back and forth between characters really fast that I didn’t care for but otherwise very fun.

[Katy Lovejoy]

maybe anime is better than manga

[Liberty Ero]

[The second half of Episode 4, the entireties of Episodes 5 & 6, and the first half of Episode 7 of the Princess Jellyfish anime follow this volume of the manga.]
