Review to come. Finished just in time to meet my goal. I actually liked this volume better than the first since it shows that Itsuki has just as much of a mask as Chitose. They had some really cute moments in this volume. 3.5 - 4 stars, but I need to think on it.

Damn. For a moment there it was smooth sailing and then bam, childhood friend or rival. I already don't like the guy. Chitose is finally being more honest with herself and admitting the truth to her friends. I was waiting for her to pass out and get an intervention, but broken project is the same. Itsuki came across as a hypocrite a few moments there. Curious about the next one.

I still think this is Blue Period with romance elements into it.

In shoujo mangas with stories like these, sometimes the story itself takes second nature and they usually try to focus on the romance aspect of the story. I'm glad that in this case they do not only focus on the "romance" aspect, but also gives focus on the arts, and about the girl's feelings with her friends and towards the girl's dream. In a way, I'm glad that they were able to give a good balance between the arts and the romance into it.

Ngl, the appearance of a "rival" seems out of nowhere so....... I guess I'll be able to form a good judgement about it AFTER I read the 3rd volume? welp.

Now this series reminds me of a mixture of Ao Haru Ride and Honey and Clover. I love how the story is delving into the characters’ relationships with art too!

Suite qui confirme que je suivrai ce manga (pour autant qu'il n'y ait pas plus d'une dizaine de volumes, sinon ça risque quand même de devenir redondant). Chouette découverte !

D'acord, entenc que la noia ha trobat en l'acadèmia d'art i els seus companys de projecte un refugi on poder ser ella mateixa. Punt positiu. Ara, el noi continua amb una actitud de merda, fent-se el misteriós amb contradiccions que només fan que confondre la pobra noia... Primer dic que vull fer un altre projecte amb tu, després et rebutjo, llavors m'implico i t'ajudo, però marco distància, et faig un petó que tampoc no sé explicar d'on ve... Tot plegat mentre la noia té la típica personalitat de bleda assolellada amb l'autoestima per terra. Això és una muntanya russa, quan veig signes d'esperança tot se'n va en orris :( m'imagino que al tercer volum tindrem una explicació del passat del noi, s'introdueix un tercer en discòrdia que apareix al final i espero que això provoqui un canvi d'actitud definitiu!!!!!

I just wish the art was for her. Everything she does is centered around him. I keep fooling my eyes and wishing she would stand up for herself a little bit. The ending of the volume is probably gonna bring some sort of conflict. It felt painful at points not because she is wearing a mask (which really just seems more to be trying to meet society expectations and not rocking the boat so to speak), like I get why it’s hard when you don’t think you fit in why try to please people but when she is making friends other than the love interest, her thoughts are all still focused on him. Le sigh… girl started off doing art projects and selling them at her family store so I thought art school would be a little for her but it is all about some guy.

Being yourself is scary but rewarding!!

Okay, so I am very interested in how the story is going so far! The main characters is relatable because pretty much everyone is afraid of not being liked grownup and as an adult! I know that's not always the case but to see this trait as a negative is regret for me! I was bullied for being too nice and I wish I was more open with things that made me happy! So her changing and being more comfortable with herself is awesome! Can't wait to see how ahe continues to change

Honnêtement je me souviens pas trop du premier tome, que j'ai lu l'année dernière mais j'ai beaucoup plus aimé celui ci !
J'ai eu peur à certains moments que les personnages soient dans des clichés (la fille timide, le mec mystérieux...) et des situations (le mec surprend la fille en l'embrassant par surprise et de force de manière énervée, ce qui nous est montré comme quelque chose de plaisant...) mais en fait non ! Ces scènes n'étaient pas présentes et ça m'a plu ❤️🖌️🌴

Ah la la qu'est-ce que c'est mignon xD Ils sont tous pipous, j'ai tellement envie qu'ils soient heureux !! J'ai beaucoup aimé l'évolution d'Itsuki dans ce tome, qui est plus creusé que ce que j'en attendais ; il sait se remettre en question, et, même s'il a un caractère de merde, il sait demander pardon, ce qui est appréciable !! Et on sent qu'un changement pointe le bout de son nez chez lui...

Suite des aventures de Chitose à l'école d'arts. Les personnages sont attachants et je suis impatiente de voir comment la relation entre Chitose et Itsuki va évoluer, surtout avec l'arrivée inopinée d'un mystérieux jeune homme...

[Rebo · Rating 3 out of 5]

More like 2.5 stars. I really want to love this series. The art is beautiful and I like the idea of it, but it’s just so boring, and the MC’s are more annoying than interesting... I think I’m going to pass on continuing.

[Serpentina · Rating 5 out of 5]

Even better than volume 1! The stakes aren't high but the characters are so precious. The main characters feel very relatable and fallible but not in an annoying way. Unrequited love (*sigh*) my heart fluttered when he kissed her before he realized what he was doing.

[Zian B. · Rating 3 out of 5]

While Chitose made some good progress in this volume, Itsuke’s behavior somewhat confuses me.
Overall, I still feel neutral about he series from what I’ve read so far. I’m gonna give this series the benefit of the doubt again and read the 3rd volume, to see if my feelings change.

[clara✨ · Rating 4 out of 5]

j'ai encore plus aimé ce deuxième tome !

l'affirmation de Chitose se fait de plus en plus sentir, elle prend les choses en main et avance comme une reine.

et quelque chose me dit qu'Itsuki n'est pas si indifférent...

[Anindya Gitta · Rating 4 out of 5]

Chitose menjalani hari hari menyenangkan di kelas kursus dan mendapat banyak teman. Perubahan sikap Chitose setiap harinya semakin menunjukkan sisi lain darinya yang ternyata malah disukai orang orang disekitanya.

[Arwela · Rating 4 out of 5]

Beaucoup moins niais que le premier ! Je n'ai pas trouvé l'héroïne aussi énervante/niaise que dans le premier volume. J'ai hâte de connaître la suite maintenant.

[Elinor · Rating 4 out of 5]

Décidément ce shojo pourtant relativement classique me plaît bien ! j'accroche complètement au contexte en fait et je trouve les personnages plutôt vrais et justes.

I enjoyed this second volume so much more!
Ahhh why do I love when the tsundere character gets flustered and blushy.??? It’s just too cute!

[Nicole · Rating 3 out of 5]

Just ok. If this wasn't free with Comixology Unlimited, I wouldn't continue with it...but I will give it another few volumes to see if it gets better.

[Lexi Loo · Rating 3 out of 5]

Idk m8 it’s still kinda weird. The relationship dynamic is a bit strange and the main dude is a jerk. It’s still fun tho .3.
