The second volume has Kureha confessing her feelings for Ginko, and agreeing to Lulu's plan to go along with Ginko's 'bear' delusion, and also further expands on Ginko's mother and her relationship with Kureha's mother. Ginko, remembering Reia, starts to push Kureha out, who also gets a new friend; said friend helps Lulu think over her own past and what had led her to Ginko. The backstories are, well, tragic, and it somehow doesn't sit with the whole 'bear' thing, even as a metaphor. However, the series wants to stick to it, so I guess we bear with it (ba-dum-tss) during all the angst and heartbreak going on. There are some inappropriate situations with Lulu and Kale, and I am not going to even start with the whole Yurika thing; the latter just pops in the most convenient ways. The story book was a plot hole I didn't understand - if Kale was the one to write it, how did Reia read it to Kureha (I mean, the ending, dude, that is a spectacularly creepy book if it was written before Kureha's birth). And about the 'romance' I don't really know what to say - it tries to be cute, but then there is that angst and random fanservice panty shots that sort of ruin the vibe you know. Overall, a better and more coherent volume than the first but still far from being a plot with direction.

I liked it better when they were actually bears.

Cutesy and silly. Pretty much sums up any yuri manga or anime, if you ask me. Three stars is actually stretching it for me, but I was feeling generous.
Warning this contains some inappropriate adult/minor situations (nothing too serious but certainly weird) and brings up mental illness issues which are pretty much ignored. Leaves you hanging (again like every manga and anime out there) with no conclusion to any of the story lines.

I got an ARC of this book.
So I am so confused at why I enjoy this story as much as I do. The first one had me convinced that this was going to be pretty weird and might just go off the rails pretty quickly. The second volume has me looking forward to the third. There is just something about it. It is bizarre, but still completely within the realm of normal, somehow.
So the question of who is and is not a bear has gotten more complicated, but also more defined. Two of the main characters are now confirmed as not being bears, but I was pretty sure that one was from the first volume. I am not even sure the issue of bear-ness is one that I should be focusing on. The characters are getting fleshed out and getting back stories now. There is some pain and depth that was really brought to the front in this volume. I didn’t expect it from the level of ridiculousness that this series has already achieved.
I am a little confused at the random fan service shots in the manga, but they are really forgettable. If I didn’t just see one in the last few minutes, I wouldn’t have remembered that they were there. I would worry that this was becoming one of those stories where the sexiness of the main character mattered more than the actual story if they were more prominent, but thankfully the romance seems more center stage than the sex. It is really hard to find a mutual love in a lesbian series in manga that doesn’t rely on sexual assault or a huge age difference. So that this story has been completely mutual and consensual has been amazing.
I am really getting into this story. I need to know what happens. How will the characters deal with the confirmation of what happened in their parents’ lives? How will they move on? Will the real criminal bear be punished? I am just full of questions and excitement. Maybe it will even be revealed that they really aren’t bears after all. That would make the story a lot darker, so I really hope they are bears.

So I decided to check out the anime adaptation of this property after frequently seeing it listed in various “top” lists on YouTube videos and online articles.
The anime is bizarre...far more bizarre than I recalled the first volume being which led me to rereading the first volume. Also, it’s the first property I have checked out where the manga and anime are vastly different from each other.
This second volume continues with the wackiness, the occasional creepy/disturbing images/situations and cutesy artwork that I just absolutely loved it! Overall, it doesn’t really make much sense... but hey David Lynch once said “life doesn’t always make sense so why does art?” This seems like a manga he’d enjoy. Will definitely be checking out the third volume.

So apparently I love the Yurikuma manga. I find it superior to the anime, which... I did not expect, at all. Well, there's one final volume left, so we'll see. But this has been such a great surprise.
Also love that we get so much of Yuriika (Eureka?) and Kale (Seriously, what kind of names are those?!).
Oh, and I love the fairytale parts, just as much as in the anime. Really blends in well. I do appreciate that the manga overall takes a more realistic spin on the story as well, though!

Yup - this series just keeps on getting weirder and weirder, and someone told me last week the anime was EVEN WEIRDER???? How could this be? I must watch the anime and see if it's true.

Love this series. It's silly but brings the drama, too.

I suspect the author used hallucinogenic substances while creating this manga. The reader may need them, as well, to understand the story.

I simply adore this series so much! The way this has continued from the first volume felt really natural and it felt as if we learnt a lot more about the characters. They become even more developed. I did feel that this felt a bit more fan servicey in places with the naked girls nut that is the only issue I had with this.
