As the second arc of the 'Rascal Does Not Dream..." series, it had a pretty solid story, and I really liked how it wrapped things almost cleanly in the end. It's biggest weakness, is that its most interesting character, the bunny girl-senpai from the previous arc, barely made her presence felt. However, in the snippets of appearances she managed to corral for herself, she made the most of it and it only made it clear that Mai is too good for Sakuta, the main male lead.

I thought it was sad that the manga adaptation of the light novel of the same name would wrap with two omnibus volumes. This covered the first two books of the novel. However, it seems that a manga adaptation of the third book is ongoing in Japan, so I expect an English edition by 2022 to continue this series.

I liked how the story continues, it was a little frustrating bc I felt for Sakuta lol but overall it was good. Kinda easy to guess what was gonna happen though lol

this felt much more like an actual adaptation than bunny girl senpai, which was basically just a beat for beat recreation of the light novel. i don't mind either approach, just interesting to see such a big difference between the first two manga adaptations.

This was not bad, but a little too nicely wrapped up at the end I supposed. The artwork wasn't bad. I am glad I finished the series (for the sake of finishing it and since it wasn't that long), but had there been any more volumes I probably would not have continued.
The story, the characters, the artwork, it was not bad, just not for me.

I know Rascal’s humor is crude, thus he is a rascal, but it’s seemingly very aware teenage humor and genre tropes. He really is a good guy who acts that way to blend, diffuse, or joke. His friendship with”petite devil” is really one of the best ways handling unrequited love can go and I love that mixed with theories in physics and adolescence syndrome to make for engaging mystery.

Did not enjoy this arc/story as much as the first one. There is little to no depiction of Mai Sakurajima from the first story in this book, and it now shifts to focusing on adolescence syndrome. It's still a great story and easy to follow along with.

Ho adorato questa storia perchè lei da 'cattiva' e malvagia si rende conto alla fine della storia che deve cambiare, che non può continuare così

I enjoyed this, but not as much as Bunny Girl Senpai

This volume just didn't bring out the feels like the previous story did. In Bunny Girl Senpai, I felt like I was on an emotional roller-coaster along with Mai and Sakuta. The last part of that, where he finally realizes that he forgot her, and realizes he's madly in love with her, and screams this love in front of the entire school... all that was so incredibly romantic, and brought a tear to my eye. Petite Devil Kohai is a good story in of itself, but it just doesn't have the emotional hooks that ring home with me on a personal level, like Bunny Girl Senpai did. Regardless, I thought this story was well done, and was a good adaptation of the LN that stayed true to the original themes, characters, and emotions.

I liked this as much as the bunny girl arc. I loved how Sakuta teased Koga. It was adorable. I may have developed a crush on Sakuta along with Koga. Haha!

The storyline was great. Another case of Adolescence Syndrome. This volume (or 2 in 1) reminded me of Groundhog Day. The day kept repeating till something was fixed. Anyway, it was interesting! The only thing that made me a little sad was that Mai wasn’t in it much (best girl right??) and her and Sakuta’s “relationship” hasn’t even started... *sighs*

I can’t wait for the next arc though!
