this was so so so good!!! i literally love this series so much already. each of the main girls are so vastly different from one another and so well developed already, and im really intrigued about the direction this story is going in. i'm getting madoka magica vibes, actually, and that makes me VERY excited!
“Even if he really is a sensitive guy on the inside, our bullets won’t work on him as he is now. He’s so caught up with fitting in with those loudmouths around him that he can’t open his heart to her.”
Violet Evergarden for gay people. I’m enjoying the almost “Monster of the Week” style that it seems to have between volumes and the little love stories are very sweet. Interested to see if there becomes a bigger and potentially more sinister overarching plot or if it keeps this tone. Very warm and fuzzy so far.
With volume 1 setting a pretty much impossible standard - and with a fairly self-contained story, I was anxious about this second one, but it got it done! We're finally reintroduced to Ena from Chapter 0 in what's set to be a multi-volume arc exploring her character. I will now be not-anxiously awaiting volume 3.
