"I couldn't bear to be hurt like that again." The death of her big sister at the hands of vampire hunters shattered Yucca's world. There was only one person left who she cared for—Emille. But the girl she so desired seemed out of reach, always with her big sister, Eve. In her attempts to stem the tide of jealousy and grief, Yucca steals Emille away, closing them off from the rest of the world. Now Emille's only hope is Eve. Before she can come to Emille's rescue, though, Eve must reckon with the scars that remain on her heart...

A much darker volume. With obsession (Yucca was just cray cray) and drama.

Yukka has an odd definition of friendship and has stolen Emille from Eve after the two of them fell out. But even when Eve realizes her error, it’s only a matter of time before the next calamity comes calling, looking a lot like the last one.
Boy, this kind of fell apart after a really, really strong first volume. It’s not a regret yet, but a string of stories where the absolute worst choices are made does not a good narrative make. Let’s check? Is this a three volume series? Oh dear, it is…
Part of the problem is Emille, who is either a ‘too stupid to live’ heroine or so incredibly naive and optimistic that she’d put Pollyanna off her lunch. Whatever her species, natural selection would have picked her off years ago in the wild.
The other consequence of this is that it shoves poor Eve into the roll of scold constantly and the story keeps painting her as wrong, even though she’s actually right pretty much every time.
Yukka turns out to be some sort of feral child who maimed Emille when they were younger and then just becomes utterly dependent on the latter’s endless kindness, even though this seems to include wanting to hurt her.
There’s a reasonable psychology to be done with this, but they don’t. Instead Eve and Yukka bond over their past traumas and Eve apologizes for daring to have been mean, even though she’s clearly saving Emille from life as a possession.
Okay, they frame it a little nicer than that, and Eve is forced to admit that she likes having Emille around. But the two are only together for a brief moment, admittedly one that leads to an adorable date (the only yuri content you’re getting this volume) in town. Then another girl butts into the frame.
This weird idea that Eve must fight off all challengers seems to be in the air, as Emille begins sneaking out to meet with Collette, a girl they met while on their date. Solid work listening to your sister’s warnings about the town or considering her feelings, Emille.
Oh, did you guess Collette was a vampire hunter the second you laid eyes on her? No points for that one, I’m afraid, but Buffy and Angel these two are not. Instead, Emille gets to wax all woefully about acceptance and then gets to prove herself wrong after Eve is wrong.
Even more annoyingly, it’s clear that the girls never read a mystery novel in their lives. When Eve recounts her major trauma over losing her own sister, it conveniently ends with an obvious moment of ‘no body, no crime’. So we’re left waiting for that shoe to drop.
The best part of this section, or (more accurately) the only good part, comes when a schoolmate of Emille’s comes out as a half-human. This is the point where the story chooses to land its message of acceptance and it’s sweetly effective in a way that the main part of this arc is not.
The last volume was such a wonderful blend of Class-S vibes and solid melodrama, but the writing here feels same-y and lacklustre with very little of the actual yuri and two leads that the story disservices in almost equal measure most of the volume.
You can see vestiges of where this was good - Eve’s melancholy over how much Emille became a part of her life is solid, Emille can be a fun character when she isn’t written entirely as a twit (5% of her page time, tops), and the town date is wonderfully fun. But the ratio to annoying stuff is all wrong.
2.5 stars - the date earns the rate, and while I don’t hate, the yuri won’t elate and doesn’t even have bait, hence the middling fate since it was so good out of the gate.

Same problems as the first volume, with the pace being very fast.
The volume starts throwing you into the Yucca-Emilie conflict and before you can even process wait wtf is going on with Yucca that arc is already over. Felt unneeded idk, I feel like every yuri manga has to have the friend character try to become the love interest. It was too quick also, because holy shit I didn't expect Yucca to be unhinged like that??? WTF?? I don't think they handle how toxic Yucca was well. But at least she's exited the story now. Phew.
Now is time for more Emile-Eve bonding but ohhh here comes another side character! Fortunately this one actually contributes to the plot, adding tension between the vampire and humans have to be enemies thing. And also testing Emile's always friendly and sweet personality. I liked how the volume ended, finally Emile doesn't feel so one note.
However Eve gets so pushed to the side. Isn't this supposed to be a romance??
If this volume had cut the Yucca plot it would have been so much better.
Last volume... I don't know what to expect.

This series isn't perfect, but it's my kind of imperfect. I just read that it ends with volume 3, and that kind of makes me admire the creator. They've done a lot in just two volumes. And as with the first book, the art is absolutely gorgeous in this one. Wasn't a big fan of the Yucca arc. But man, that last scene with Colette. So beautiful.

difficult to rate this volume - I love the artwork and am enjoying where the story seems to be headed, but the character development is super rushed and would love to see some of the plot points stretched out over multiple chapters.

Genuinely I think this could be a 5 star favorite series for me if the pacing was just slowed down a bit. Maybe 5 volumes instead of 3 would have made more sense. We'll see how the last volume goes, I guess.

yucca’s plotline is nutso and idk how emille dealt with it the way she did. thought there would be more… emotional scars… based on the beginning chapter but i loved the end arc with the new character way more.
