Another wonderful anthology!

I think I especially enjoyed this one because it was so fun seeing stories centered around some of the special events such as the Starsending and the Fairy Gala! Both are some of my favorite events in the game and seeing an artist/writer put their unique flair on it was fantastic! I especially loved the Starsending one because my best boy Deuce shined!

And speaking of him, he was in SO many stories!!! I loved it!! The one with him and Malleus made me laugh a lot, but I think the first story was my favorite!

I would also say that I wasn't just super excited to see a bunch of Deuce, but JACK!!! EEEEEPPP!! He's also one of my best boys and I especially loved the chapter about the rumor of getting good luck if you see him wag his tail. LOL! So priceless!

Honestly, all the stories were wonderful and would highly recommend this to TWST fans! Definitely another anthology I will reread in the future!

NOT ENOUGH OCTAVINELLE

[Sandra · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wieder eine spaßige Kurzgeschichtensammlung aus dem TW-Universum. (immer noch miffy, das es das Spiel heir nicht gibt. Disney, was machst du ey?)
Es kommen fast alle meine Lieblinge vor :3 (außer Idia) und es ist wieder wiiirklich gut für mein Fujoshi-Herz, weil da einige gute Paare wieder drin sind.
Leider gibts allerdings ein paar Rechtschreibe/Satzzeichen-Fehler, was ein wenig meh ist.

VIZ Media provided an early galley for review.

I have become a big fan of the Twisted-Wonderland mangas over the past few years. So, I am onboard for more misadventures from this crew.

Just like last volume, this one starts out with several gorgeous full-page, full-color character portraits. One by Izumi Tsubaki features a Cruella DeVil inspired Professor Crewel while Yomi Sarachi gives us a pair that rolled right out of Hades' underworld and Domino Ozaki provides a pair who take after Malificent.

As for the dozen stories here, there were several that I enjoyed. yutaka served up a fun escapade with a theme on the benefits of cooperation. Sakura Fujimoto gave us a trip to the Diasomni Dorm (the one where Malificent serves as the model). The artwork throughout was solid and very complimentary to that of the original series volumes.

What is nice about these one-off tales is that the reader is getting glimpses into more of the world and is seeing the dynamics of relationships that are forming between older characters and new ones. There were a couple that had overlapping elements (like those relating to food preparation/serving or a dance competition between dorms) that helped form a bit of a cohesive narrative mosaic across the stories.

Like the other volume in this anthology series, this primarily serves as a sampler to help the reader become better acquainted with the various characters in Twisted Wonderland. Some of the shorts are completely their own thing, while others call back to various events and character vignettes in the game.I've read this before through online scanlations but it's nice to also own an official copy. These stories aren't ones I think I'll find myself returning to very often, but I still enjoy them. Though personally, this one has my favorite of all these shorts, which is the one titled "Footsteps." It takes place during the events of book 5 in the game, and I personally think it showcases a lot of character growth and depth to Riddle in particular, which I really appreciate.

I read the first anthology manga awhile back, and I was very happy to see that the second one was just as good! If you like TWST, you will definitely love the anthology manga! It balances between genuine character building and silly moments, but it does a really good job with both, and it all feels in-character! My only complaints; this volume is shorter than the first one, somewhat noticeably so when looking at them side-by-side. Additionally, there was almost no content for a few characters, while characters like Jamil and Kalim got a lot of love. I don't think this hindered the experience at all (and considering the fact that there's 22 characters, they actually did a pretty good job focusing on a wide array of characters), but if you're reading this to get more content of Silver or Idia, well...I recommend the first volume instead!!
5/5, loved every moment and will happily reread this whenever I am sad.

Thanks to NetGalley and VIZ Media for the ARC.

Just like the first volume, this is more short side comics about the characters of Twisted Wonderland, and is equally enjoyable. Nothing new, but if it ain't broke...

[Sneha · Rating 5 out of 5]

The perfect continuation to the first anthology. Honestly the first and last chapters are my favorite of the TW cast. Waiting on the next one.

Una raccolta di storie brevi che hanno come protagonisti gli studenti del Night Raven College. I personaggi di tutte le casate sono presenti, il problema è che in Italia abbiamo conosciuto due casate (di cui una ancora in corso di pubblicazione) e quindi a volte sono presenti personaggi non ancora presentati nella storia principale, ma è stata un'ottima anticipazione per le prossime saghe.
Davvero divertente e molto scorrevole!

It was an anthology so the art styles were very different. I personally enjoyed a few of these vignettes and stories they decided to do. I wish there was more to be honest, some of the vignettes I wanted more out of than just a few pages, but again it's an anthology so I was expecting this. Good way to pass the time as each vignette is self-contained so you can pick it up and start whenever.

[Chris Lemmerman · Rating 3 out of 5]

A couple of laugh out loud stories, a couple of heartfelt stories. Everyone at this school is so gay, I love it. There's some references to stuff that I've not read yet, so that'll be interesting to see unravel when the other English translations get released.

[Cyyesz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely amazing.
Each short story is entertaining, the cover art is magnificent. The art in the first few pages is like a reward, and the art styles of each artist in this manga is a sight for sore eyes.
This manga is so good, I had to finish it the same day that I got it.

Definitely interesting, but I didn't really care for these anthology volumes at all. Too many characters to try and follow.
