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.

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.

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.

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 · Rating 4 out of 5]

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! 😍🎆

Noooo pas de triangle amoureux pitié jpp de ce trope

[Allie · Rating 3 out of 5]

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

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.

[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.]

Kuranosuke es mi personaje favorito y Dios el dibujo es precioso

[Chelsey · Rating 3 out of 5]

Tsukimi has been obsessed with jellyfish since her mother took her to the aquarium as a little girl. Now, she lives in Tokyo in an all-female apartment (more like a dorm) filled with otakus who hate men and fashion. Tsukimi herself has always fit in perfectly here, until a fashionable girl follows her home after helping her rescue a jellyfish. When Tsukimi realizes this girl is actually a man who enjoys dressing in women's clothing, she especially wants nothing to do with him, but Kuranosuke is relentless. Eventually, Tsukimi meets Kuranosuke's older brother and develops an immediate crush on him. Worried about being disowned by her friends at home, Tsukimi is in quite a bind!

This is cute, and I love that the girls Tsukimi lives with are so different from normal manga girls. It bothered me that the older brother DIDN'T EVEN RECOGNIZE Tsukimi without stylish clothes. Overall, though, this is fun, and Clara the jellyfish is ADORABLE.

This is the second volume of Princess Jellyfish. I absolutely love this manga. I started reading it after I had seen the anime, and so far the anime did a very good job of following the plot of the first two volumes. I think that the art is amazingly well drawn, and the characters are very relatable. Even though, not much time has passed since the manga started, the characters keep growing, individually and with their relationships with each other. I'm going to read the next volume ASAP.

"But please understand that you can't fight the enemy dressed like that. It's sad, but in society there are lots of people who judge others based on their appearance. Naturally the enemies are those type of people, therefore.. Put on your armor!"

A solid 3.5 stars for the funny dialogues, the compelling plot, and the depth of the characters.. all despite some very disturbing comments from Kuranosuke's uncle and the lack of inclusivity of some passages.
