Oh, this series continues to be delicious to read!!

Maybe that's a weird way to say you've enjoyed a really good book, but I can't think of any other way to word it because goodness, THE FEELS! The creator knows EXACTLY what she is doing concerning Ichika getting closer to both of our guys and how even my own heart is struggling with which guy to choose for her!

HOWEVER!

I'm pretty sure Noah captivated my heart in this volume with the kindness he showed to Ichika. Is he still grumpy and prickly? For sure, BUT! There were moments (like him teaching her magic) that really showed more of his character and that he isn't as uncaring as he seems. I really really loved it!

Though my heart still really likes Cecil. *hides* There is such a princely aura to him and with him being such a gentleman, it's hard for my heart not to swoon a little bit. LOL!

I am VERY curious as to what's going to happen next because what a cliffhanger! Ichika is definitely growing closer to the guys, but she and Karen still seem to have an icy relationship that keeps getting colder and colder thanks to Karen...

Saying that though, let's rewind for a moment! That opening chapter dropped a bomb of information on who the culprit is for the "bad things" happening and I am NOT happy about it. I'm actually very interested in seeing if my feelings toward Karen will change at all and if she herself will change as the series goes on.

Overall, this was definitely a worthy sequel to volume one and I'm so excited to read more! The art and story are wonderful and know I'll be devouring the next volume ASAP!

Ovviamente anche Ichika (quella vera, non l'altra psicolabile) si rivela essere una santa: a ben vedere, i suoi poteri sono decisamente superiori rispetto a quelli della sorella, ma tutti cercano di farle credere il contrario - probabilmente per non diventare il bersaglio numero uno di una dei villain di questa storia, la madre di Cecil (che ovviamente odia a morte Noah, in quanto figlio di suo marito e di un'altra donna, che non vuole dubbi sulla successione, e che sta tramando qualcosa, sfruttando anche quella scema della vera Karen).
Altro elemento centrale di questo volume è sicuramente l'evoluzione del rapporto tra la protagonista e i due principi: Noah non è proprio un mostro di carineria, però si vede che ci tiene e che vuole proteggerla - anche se qui la faccenda rischia di complicarsi, visto che si è lasciato sfuggire uno specifico commento riguardo la persona di cui è innamorato, e Ichika è subito partita per la tangente. Cecil, dal canto suo, si vede che si sente più a suo agio con la protagonista, che non con la fidanzata...fidanzata che non la prende bene, visto che ha già parecchi problemi nella gestione dell'invidia e tende ad atteggiarsi da martire incompresa, sempre messa in secondo piano da tutti. Spero che prima o poi verrà fuori tutta la verità, comprese le bugie che Karen ha rifilato a Cecil e compagnia, così almeno può mettersi a piagnucolare per una buona ragione 😅

Comunque, sarei curiosa di leggere la versione light novel di questa storia, perché, almeno per ora, la trama è sì coinvolgente, però i personaggi non mi sembrano molto ben approfonditi (forse Noah è il meno peggio). Bah, vediamo come andrà con il volume 3.

Still not in either of the guys (Cecil seems kind but he needs to get out of Karen's (the real one) influence and Noah seems to have some kind moments but he is still an ass). But I love how Ichika keeps going, tries her best, wants to do more. I hope she figures things out, I am definitely rooting for her to get used to this world, and her new name. I hope that she gets a chance to tell the truth (as her sister is not going to do that, what a bitch). Plus, I wonder if it was really Cecil she talked to... or was it Noah? Given that Cecil didn't remember that key part I wonder. Or Cecil could just have memory loss, also a typical trope, haha.

I'm two volumes in and it's bugging me that Ichika isn't putting any effort into figuring out how to get the truth about her and Karen's identities out. I also suspect that Noah is really the Cecil she spoke to through the mirror, but we shall see. Either way, I'm enjoying the story, and I need to check to see if there's also light novels because there are some things lacking that I hope to get more info on.

Noah was WAY more of an asshole in this one with very few redeeming moments....Cecil is just confusing....and Karen is so frustrating I want to punch her face LOL. Ichika is the only good character so far and even then, she didn't have much character development in this one. I will try one more volume before I give up

The Queen seems up to no good…Still left wondering what all is going on with her sister. Hopefully we find out more on their trip together on the next one!
