Honey Trap and Rapid Rabbit are keeping the city safe, but their enemies continue to plot in the background. A new heroine makes the scene, but is there room for a third party amidst the most dastardly scheme yet?
You kind of hate to say it, but this book is doing everything it doesn’t do well with way more frequency than the stuff it does. Look, I can’t draw to save my life, so I feel really awful saying this, but the action scenes in this book are not that great.
And that’s a problem because of how many there are. I don’t know a ton about sentai shows, but I know I can tell what the Power Rangers are punching at any given moment and this book doesn’t have any hints of kinetic movement to it. It looks like slides conveying a sequence where things occurred and then some poses.
This volume appears to want to double down on its plot, of all things, rather than make with the jokes and it was a lot better at being funny than it was serious (although it isn’t all that funny this time out either). I admit that the scheme is particularly villainous, but once the mysterious leader of the bad girls is revealed it’s pretty impossible to take her too seriously (our old buddy tonal whiplash is here in full force throughout).
Compound this with how the frequent battles lack any hint of excitement due to the way they’re drawn (in the first battle something gets crushed by a tire and I’m STILL not sure what happened - when I am glaring at a panel trying to force it to make sense, that’s bad) and the clouds begin to form for me.
And the addition of the new baddie who loves yuri so therefore won’t kill our heroines is, honestly, really lame. She’s not much of anything except a meta-commentary the book doesn’t need. But she sure gets a fight scene that is (altogether now) nigh-impossible to follow.
The third hero who shows up is not at all interesting in hero mode, but the backstory is okay, minus the old incest implications. Like I say, this is kind of interesting and there is a good joke in here about how they got their powers and an unintentional dig at capitalism.
You may see that I am making very little mention of our leads here. Largely because they don’t get any real development. Former villain teaming up with hero she has a crush on is a yuri that should write itself, but apparently is more difficult than it appears.
And I do appreciate some of the humour - this might be the only Saturday morning cartoon (kids, ask your parents)-esque organization I’ve that ever actually justifies the boss being a jerk to their subordinates. There’s another good observation about how useless the villains from Volume 1 are.
2.5 stars, but I can’t do it. A book I can’t follow decides to do all the wrong stuff and the overwhelming thought I had the entire time was ‘I would really rather be reading something else right now’. That’s a seriously high bar to clear for me with a yuri title and I’m sad to say it appears to be this volume’s true superpower.

The more we get to know the villains, the less interesting they are. And way too much time is spent in hard-to-follow fight scenes with characters wearing very similar armor. Then even more time is wasted on a worshipful sisters relationship between two new characters that ultimately proves pointless.
This series is suddenly not giving me what I want, but I have another volume on hand to help see if it's an aberration or a trend.

The second volume and yes I will be continuing this series as it is just so much fun. In this one we meet X and see another form of them which was quite interesting. Then we meet the general we hadn't seen yet and oh lord she is obsessed with yuri and I love it! We meet a new hero, find out some plans, and then it goes dark but only to go back to normal again. It is quite a fun story and I just love Honey and Hayate (they are adorable together and Honey's reactions/expressions are gold), but I also love Melt and Kyouka. Plus, we got some sisterly (if they are really sisters) love going on. The battles are nicely drawn.

Superwomen in love is a blast of a good time, as someone who values comedy and action in their stories but wants them to be sapphic this is really a book that scratches both itches bound up in tropes of Japanese kids media. I am not a Kamen Rider girly but I still find everything to be fun in this series and I think the jokes for the most part land with the exception of one move by X in this chapter where she grabs Rabbit's boobs without consent which lasts 1 panel. It was totally unneeded and didn't add anything, it wasn't even like a fan service moment or anything just X being a creep, maybe informing the character more but still frustrating.
Outside of that though this is a very good time series, we have a more classic one side is very explicitly romantically in love while the other is oblivious or unable to speak her feelings dynamic. Luckily this lands on the end of this trope in which it is clear the other woman has feelings for the other but just doesn't have the words for it with clear signs of her love showing. Honey and Rabbit are both super cute and them getting good at fighting together and everything is a blast to watch.
The new villain Cool Down is really fun, her being a big yuri fan is great and I love the weridos that make up the main villain crew of this cast. Their all fun to watch interacting with both our heroes and with each other. I do love all the little dynamics that are at play and the way the world is handled. There was some interesting twists and I love that it is playing with it's concepts really fast out of the gate rather than letting them linger.
I recommend it to anyone who likes action in their lesbian content or who wants a light hearted read. Content warning there is kinda some implied incesty vibes with some of the new characters but it's like not totally clear what their deal is so idk your millage will vary depending on how you read the characters and stuff.

A new hero appears! Orb owl who turns out to be a younger girl who wants to protect her older sister.
X the whole mastermind behind the evil organization appears and starts trouble. We find out why Hayate found the device in the mall.
I must say X's plan was really messed up in a shocking way. To use a little girls emotions by hurting her sister, causing her emotions to go awry and become antinoid, basically a foot soldier for the evil organization. I don't have Sailor Moon as a reference, which is similar to when Queen Beryl turns Prince Endymion to their side. I was not expecting that to happen to the new hero.
I wonder what X is planning on doing next. I have volumes 3 and 4. Currently waiting for a library to have volume 5. Dayton won't let me get it, for some reason.
I am curious if Honey will go back to the organization if she feels it will protect Hayate.

2.5/5
Less enjoyable than the first volume, and I rounded down this time. 0 progression in the relationship, it's all just the "one is very obviously flirting and the other one is oblivious" which is just really annoying the more it goes on. Weird semi-incestuous subplot as well with side characters (can we not). Most of this volume was fight scenes which is not what I'm here for lol.
I may continue this one, may not - if volume 3 actually gives us relationship progression then maybe

This volume had a big, dark twist in it, that made me get extra invested in the story beyond just the budding relationship between Honey Trap and Hayate. If the first volume caught your interest, this second one will do so too. I don't know if I'll read on, but the story is neat enough.

I’m interested in the overarching storyline but the storyline of this volume specifically didn’t really pull me in. The twist was interesting but there wasn’t really much development between the characters and I’m not super drawn into the fight scenes the way that I am with some series.

This book has lots of humor and quick action!
I really appreciate its dedication to add on to this world and give more to drive rather than stay silly and be about goofing around!
Feels like a wonderful balance!

The series remains quint but feels a bit too meta when one of the villains calls out their Yuri relationship and is actually acting like a cheerleader for it. Kinda odd.

'Superwomen in Love' vol 2 introduces a new transforming heroine, a sinister plot by the forces of evil, and more adorable flirtations in between costumed heroics. I really enjoy how dumb everyone is for each other in this.

I love this series, It's great to see Tok in some manga form, plus the relationship between the two main characters is sweet and adorable. Looking forward to more of this series.
