I thought the first book was a great read, and this one rated slightly higher in several ways. Personally, I’m a fan of Yotsuba’s hyperbolic though process (it’s over-the-top, but relatable), and her phrasing got a solid number of laughs out of me.
Also, holy crap, I can’t believe the author didn’t “pull back” on a particular plot point we’ve been building up to that I was *sure* was going to get a “haha, just kidding” or “here’s some mitigating factors, so it’s not what it looks like…” elements. Props to the author on that follow through without trying to swerve away. Dang.
Couldn’t even finish it. It was going on a good track and then they had to throw in incest with her sisters. This was definitely written by a pervy man
Pros: More focus on Yotsuba and her dating, more fun yuri action, more time spent away from Yotsuba as an individual and instead spent with the three girls together and as separate couples. Better handling of that weird fan club President and less weird fan club nonsense. Requisite pool trip for the characters.
Cons: Yotsuba is still insufferable when she’s alone and lost in her thoughts. There’s a weird sister angle for a portion of the story that doesn’t add anything. The whole fact that Yotsuba’s sisters are this opinionated about their elder sister’s dating life just feels like drama for the sake of drama.
This was much better than the first instalment but it still doesn’t reach the same standards as other (better) yuri stories. Still, it’s more enjoyable and there’s now hope for a better conclusion in volume three.
The inevitable happens. Yotsuba's sisters learn of her two-timing and they are not too happy about it. Their anger sets Yotsuba into a panic, and a panicking Yotsuba can jump in odd directions. For me the book was quiet entertaining, if a bit predictable. It is much like volume 1, although the sisters take a bit of a more prominent role. In itself not bad, but for a few pages it took a rather odd turn, which was completely unnecessary and I am happy the story did not go down that path.
