Auch, al principio me dolía lo egoísta que era Midori por aprovecharse de Maki, pero ahora solo quiero darle un abrazo. La forma en la que la mangaka logró plasmar la soledad, los prejuicios/presión de la sociedad, violencia doméstica y el descubrimienro de la orientación sexual… 💔

Things are slightly awkward between… everybody… but, in the aftermath of Tazune hitting her, Midori turns to Maki. And, of course, Maki lets her. There’s nowhere for this to go but up, or, perhaps, on vacation. Where we once again learn that the internet is not to be trusted.

Oh, this does so well in its second volume. So very well. I think this might end up as yet another short yuri series, but one that I’m quite content to recommend. We just need to see that landing, but even without it, this volume is fantastic.

This is a real step up from last time, even if it has some vicious lingering plot threads (oh, that photo’s going to be a thing) that are left to flap in the breeze. We see some serious avoidance strategy from Tazune and Midori over the whole hitting thing, which bodes so very well. The subtle touches in the art, like her flinching from his grasp, say so much with so little.

Honestly, the entire volume is a tapestry of lies, with the one stray thread of truth being Maki and her ability to be honest with herself. Yeah, seeing Midori might be toxic as hell, but she knows she could stop. She just doesn’t want to (at least she can acknowledge it).

And neither does Midori, but she’s such a strong deflector that they should use her to protect the Death Star. Her laugh is as nervous as it gets and you can really tell from the art and writing, which show some strong chops on the part of the mangaka. The art style continues to be a delightful change from typical manga art.

Naturally the two of them do what they do best and extricate themselves away on a vacation. But where to go? Surely there’s no reason to not visit Maki’s online friend, Komari…

And, for the most part, there is not. But, despite seeming like the “voice of wisdom best friend” that many lead characters have, Komari’s got her own issues. And, if she hasn’t quite bigged herself up to Maki, well, there’s certainly a difference between talking the talk and walking the walk.

Which turns out to be some gripping stuff. I love that yuri as a genre has expanded enough that we get nuanced and complicated characters instead of straight (uh, you know what I meant) class-s and high school stuff. I mean, they’re fine, but the variety is welcome.

The biggest chunk of this story is basically the aforementioned vacation and it is a real swerve from the main conflict, but it’s always there in the background. And if Midori starts to realize that maybe being happy is better than pretending that living a traditional life is for her? Well, that’s okay.

The blending of the unexpected conflict with Komari, who turns out to be very much a high school kid in some ways, with the ongoing drama of Maki and Midori is really excellent. It’s not simmering with tension, but more a melancholy as everybody is realizing that things could be better.

The way this is presented is honestly rather stellar. The Maki and Midori sections are presented with a near-fairytale quality to them, which both cleverly reflects Maki’s sentiments but also the fact that this is not real life for these two (not yet, anyway).

And Komari provides such an excellent counterpoint with her very, very grounded story of confused sexuality and reluctance to live the way she truly wants to. Can you tell I liked this? It’s a pip.

The ending might be some serious wish fulfillment, but it’s the kind that feels as doomed as possible from the get-go. Our leads are not children any more and that means they can’t keep on running from their lives. It promises to be a heck of a third volume.

4.5 stars - there’s a lot to chew on here and I enjoyed it all very, very much. It’s not often that I think the middle volumes of anything are the stellar parts, but this went in some surprising ways that really paid off.

Molto meno drammatico del primo volume, questo numero 2 ha il focus sul loro viaggio di coppia. Tutto abbastanza sereno e tranquillo, devo aspettarmi un finale con mega-drammi?

No me ha gustado tanto como el primero, pero sigue siendo muy tierno.

Sigue desarrollando temas como la salida del armario y lo difícil que es a veces, lo rara que te sientes; los sentimientos de “¿lo haré bien?” de antes de ser madre, la violencia de género…

Cogería a los tres personajes femeninos y les daría un abrazo enorme, mientras que a otros les daría un puñetazo.

Vamos a por el tercero!!

je suis sous le charme de l'amour que c'est deux femmes ont l'un pour l'autre. un tome remplis d'amour, de questionnements, d'amitié qui a volé mon coeur. j'ai peur du tome 3. de tout ce qu'elles auront a affronté mais malgré tout j'ai hate de voir leur aventure continuer.

Este tomo ha sido más soft, más de "hola, en el siguiente tomo viene el drama, disfruta de esta calma". Se ha tocado mucho el tema de salir del armario, del miedo que da hacerlo por el rechazo y por fin Midori admite que le da miedo ser madre y piensa que no está preparada. Normal, querida, normal. No creo que nadie lo esté y tú menos con el idiota de tu prometido, el cual parece que se arrepiente pero...esa foto que ha hecho la compañera de Midori va a dar mucho juego en el tomo siguiente. Que malos son los celos.
Y Komari...ay Komari que bonita eres. Espero que tu amigo de la infancia te siga queriendo porque te mereces todo lo bueno de este mundo.

A diferència del primer tomo, en aquest no passa absolutament res. Primer teníem a una lesbiana que no vol acceptar que ho és i que està amb un home per por a estar sola, i ara tenim a una altra lesbiana que sí ho accepta però que té novio igual per no saber dir que no.

M’ha posat de molt malhumor i m’ha avorrit moltíssim, principalment perquè tot això amb una conversa s’arregla i no necessites tot un tomo. En fi… potser és perquè jo ho veig fàcil. No he sentit empatia, el caràcter de les tres m’ha tret de polleguera.

J'ai quand même plus apprécié ce tome. J'ai adoré le petit récap du début surtout pour moi qui n'avait pas spécialement compris le tome précédent. Cependant, le début est flou. On voit l'histoire de midori et momo, mais on ne comprend pas si elles sont dans la même pièce ou si l'on voit chacune un bout de leur histoire. C'est mal ficelé.
Le dénouement était malgré tout meilleur dans ce tome 2, ce qui est normal.

Hace mucho que no me cruzaba con un personaje que me diese TANTA RABIA como Tazune. Decir que cruzó la línea es quedarse corto. Aunque una parte de mí no deja de pensar "salí de ahí", está claro que la situación no es una en la que haya camino fácil. La autora representa muy bien la soledad, la presión social y cómo eso nos lleva a forzarnos a seguir adelante con situaciones incluso cuando no salimos bien parados de las mismas.

Pues huir han huido no? O eso parece con el final.
No sé cómo se va a resolver todo y me da cosa porque la compañera de trabajo tiene la fotografía de ellas y si se la enseña al futuro marido... No quiero ni imaginar su reacción pero bueno.

good for the most part, but i can't believe we get more backstory from the evil husband than either of the girls.

I was on the fence about whether or not I was going to continue this series after the first volume, despite giving it five stars, but after reading the 2nd book I’m glad I did. The ‘running away’ starts here and I definitely enjoyed seeing that. I’m very hopeful for the relationship between Maki and Midori and I wish them the best (reasonably sure we’re heading toward a happy ending now not some lovers’ suicide/tragic thing, but who knows). More than anything I just want Midori’s fiancé to disappear from existence. Dude is a scumbag. Hoping he’s not in book 3 much. This manga has this weird way of flittering between beautiful and depressing that it’s rather tough to read, but I think it’s worth it. When we see Midori from Maki’s perspective and she’s always sparkling it really hits me with a sense of wonder – but then you see the world from Midori’s side and things are rarely ever that dazzling. On a side note: really enjoyed meeting Komori for the first time. Her addition was welcome.
