Hemos mejorado un poco... Aunque sigue sin gustarme un pelo las movidas de adolescente besa a niña...
Para empezar 13-14 años a 16, no puede ser uno una niña chica y el otro un adolescente normal. No se, las cosas raras de Japón que huelen mal.
Sin embargo, en cuestión de historia ha ido un poco a mejor, ya que se ha dejado un pelin más apartado que el prota sea incapaz de ver a una mujer sin cagarse encima, y solo sustituido por tener una vergüenza extrema. Ojalá y de estas situaciones haya cada vez menos, o al menos mejor narradas.
El nuevo personaje esta bien llevado, esa doble personalidad le da un buen transfondo. A esto se le añade que Tohka empieza a parecer más humana y usar sus poderes para el bien, y Origami demuestra más su interés por el prota (totalmente incomprensible) generando unas situaciones que aunque son reguleras, tiene posibilidad de ser mejores en el futuro.
Veremos si sigue mejorando o vuelve a decaer

We join Shido again as he begins to face down, or try to heal, Yoshino and Yoshinon of their star power. It’s a good show and the first book was good, but for some reason I struggled to get into this one. Which is a shame, because I think Yoshino and her puppet are incredibly adorable. Maybe I was just not in the right mood for this book right now. The fact it took me 11 days to finish...

Shido has barely recovered from his ordeal with Tohka, when Tohka moves into his house as a "training" method for him. When a new spirit girl appears in town in the middle of a rain storm, he has to risk his live again for the world and the poor spirit girls.

I like the story for the over-the-top silly interaction and situations, much like part 1. While the characters (as of yet) are one dimensional, it is not exactly along the lines of the common tropes and they have made me curious about what exactly spirits are or Shido's past.

At times I also dislike the story for the over-the-top silliness. The real irritant for me though is Shido's denseness, all the weirder because at times he is surprisingly insightful into other people's emotions, or his over-the-top embarrassment behaviour. Some of the odd behaviour you have to take at face value, not just the interaction with Shido, but to the world at large (such as for example why AST keeps fighting even though they have 0 chance of success). Still, any such situations should really not come as a surprise in Volume 2 of a series.

Overall I dido enjoy reading the book just like Volume 1 and I will probably continue the series.

After finishing with the first volume I quickly grabbed the second one and started reading it (ok I did not grab it per se, but I did picked up my Kindle :)).

The second volume continues the story one month after the events from the previous installment. The first two chapters where only fillers with the fan-service, however the story starts to develop when Shidou encounters Yoshino(n) for the second time.

No character development, but we were introduced to a new Spirit and we found out more about Origami (I always read her name as Origano, dunno why. Maybe I love pizza to much ... huehue).

The story was light, funny and it had a conflict (Touhka's jealousy).

If you read the first volume, read this one as well.

It basically recycles the same beats as the first volume, but it still manages to entertain.
