The BL elements of the first volume was pretty thin, but that's mostly because pacing. In the sequel--in passing, iHertz manga almost never does the 上下 thing, do they? It's usually the title and an additional word to indicate it's a sequel, but back to the actual review! In the sequel we have gotten over some major obstacles in Sugimoto and Senoo's psyches, which is not to say they're over it but like, they're slowly moving forward and healing from it, so we have more space to focus on their actual relationship.
A few people mentioned vagueness in their review of the first volume and I think that's very fitting because Senoo has an avoidant kind of personality (who will make jokes instead of facing things head on), while Sugimoto just... doesn't share. Senoo even says this in the first volume, 'I don't know much about Sugimon at all'. There's a lot of vagueness because they're dancing around issues, especially their feelings for each other, and sometimes makes an assumption on how clear they're being.
We follow Sugimoto's pov so we know how he feels but
I thought it's a nice and quiet and gentle story about two young men settling into society and looking for places that fits well. Also this volume is easier to read than the first one.

Chinese title: 續 在公寓裡遇見愛
This one has 神率 of 59.7% on Chil-Chil.
After all the build up from volume 1, the two of them have developed some feelings for each other, but is it friendship? Companionship? Or love?
The seme is not happy about working at a hair salon, he’s not passionate about advancing to hair stylist from apprentice and keeps on failing the exam. A sad event relating to his family member has caused him to have deep thoughts about what he wants to do in life.
The uke’s world stopped turning since last year of high school (refer to prequel More Than Words), now the time is finally ticking for him again, he quits his job at convenient store and decides to go explore the world and find himself.
The uke is scared of jumping into another serious relationship, even when the seme takes care of him (cooking/cleaning) and provides him a shelter to come back to.
The seme is patiently waiting for the uke to open up to him… As he realizes that uke is inspiring him to be a better man.
The solution is cherish the present, live in the moment, and not worry too much about tomorrow.

Per fi em puc llegir la segona part i final d'aquesta fabulosa història ❤️ Enamorada de la manera com narra Etsuko, és que és una passada!!! El passat de Senoo et trenca el cor, però afortunadament té final feliç :')
Tinc predilecció per aquesta mangaka perquè em fascina el seu estil d'il·lustració tan simple, però expressiu alhora i les narracions tan potents que fa, amb uns personatges que s'han d'enfrontar a problemes reals i quotidians, a relacions fallides que deixen seqüeles doloroses durant molt de temps ❤️ en aquesta breu sèrie reprenem la vida del Makki Senoo de More Than Words 1 després que marxés i deixés el seu xicot Ei amb la Mieko, embarassada per oferir un hereu a la rica família de l'Ei i fer que així acceptessin la seva relació homosexual amb el Makki. La cosa no surt bé en aquest amor a tres bandes i el Makki marxa a viure a un apartament, cosa que ens mostra aquest còmic. Pobret del meu cor, el nano està destrossat, però va per la vida fent veure que res no l'afecta, sense prendre's gaire seriosament les relacions amb els altres. Treballa en una botiga 24h en el torn de nit per anar trampejant i de sobte descobreix que el seu veí és antic company de l'escola. Entre ells es va forjant una relació preciosa de dues ànimes perdudes turmentades per la culpa i el penediment del passat. Em moro de ganes de saber com acaba, però només espero que siguin feliços perquè s'ho mereixen!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

(2巻通して)
悩んでることとか心理描写がリアルだと思った。2人が一緒にいる時の自然な感じが好き。

繪津鼓的作品就是好在若有似無的氣氛，非常擅長那已經成為大人的無力和想要努力卻更想逃避的微妙韻味。隨手撈了一下看到有人把繪津鼓的作品分類在微虐，但我覺得虐的好像是腳色常常對自己太嚴厲的部分，所以讀完之後意外頗為清爽，大概是好好點出這些情緒並且遇到了可以溫柔收納的對象吧？
