I still very much enjoy Nakamura's art, and the feeling of underlying intensity between the characters. At this point, though, I'm not confident this is going much of anywhere. Foundational moments--for example, --feel like they don't affect the characters' present lives. Maybe if the story focused more strongly on Ruby, Liz, and Steph, I'd be happier with it.

In case you forgot where we were in the story, we completely ignore it anyway for an extended flashback to Liz and Steph’s first meeting. And all the scandal it entails. Then things start up again proper and they’re weirder than ever.
It’s been two long years since we got a collected volume of this manga and, boy, I was really effusive about the last volume. Honestly, I’m a little surprised (my, how we change over time) because this one is admittedly great, but mostly in the sense that it’s utterly insane.
I’m not sure how straight, ahem ahem, this is being played because it is so hammy that I was nearly cackling out loud at points. If it’s intentionally crazy, it is brilliant. If it’s not, then it’s still brilliant. Just not the way it’s intended.
The flashback is so hysterically wild that it cannot help but entertain. Liz is nothing but a string of bad teenager decisions and this is the first manga I’ve ever seen where an age-gap student/tutor romance gets tossed aside when somebody has a sexual awakening to their sister.
Everything from the staff (all black, which sure is a choice) to the mansion feels Victorian/retro as hell and you’d be forgiven if you were waiting for rain storms and crashing thunder to break out every time dusk falls. It’s utterly broad, but you could see the rumours from all this occupying afternoon tea for months.
Steph establishes her personality early on, although her use of a cane because she lost her pinky toe is the kind of detail that makes no medical sense, unless she had a particularly outsized, load-bearing toe that acted as a stabilizer. The woefully overblown dramatics from a small injury only add to the fun.
Expect pretty much every taboo to come into effect here and the family dynamics are dripping with venom and repression. It’s absolutely glorious in its presentation, but those in the audience with staunch morals better hit the oyster beds because they’ll need a lot of pearls to clutch here.
Once we’re back at school in the present day, poor Ruby gets to exist again and suddenly an entire new cast starts spilling out of the woodwork (one’s a hit and run victim, since this manga loves both its physically AND emotionally wounded girls).
This also happily introduces a bunch of rivalries, since Ruby sure does get along with that one girl, Blythe, who is also friends with a tarot reading believer in the supernatural. But Blythe is apparently actually visiting the bad girl who had the accident, who has taken to smoking (the hussy!) after her lacrosse career was derailed.
Plus, a kleptomaniacal mystery is introduced, where a sudden and important revelation hinges on one student’s incredibly unlikely drawing habits. It’s jaw-dropping where this story ends up going and it feels like ideas for a dozen stories all crammed into one space.
Which makes it a hell of a thing to review. Was I entertained? Oh heck yes! So thoroughly entertained with its tawdry secrets and atmosphere of repression that lasts for as long as it takes for somebody to close the door behind them.
It’s imitating Class S yuri, but with practically none of the restraint you’d expect from it and that makes it far more engaging as a consequence, if a little much at basically every single point.
But is it any good? Essentially, I don’t know. I do know that the art is very stylized, featuring the ugliest fingers I have ever seen in a professional work, but everybody is nicely distinct and most everything is easy to follow.
What you’re following is bananas, however, and whether that’s good or bad comes down to your tastes. This does work for me, but it’s absolutely not going to be for everybody. There’s no emotional depth, just Big Meaning to every single thing, and girls being super petty and jealous over one another.
3 stars - but also 5 stars. I can’t split it and give 4, because it implies a quality level I don’t think it has. Yet it also does, for a very specific notion of quality. Endlessly readable is about the best I can say.

CW/TW: Explicit grooming, CSA, incest
Oh my god, poor Liz...
I feel like once they revealed that she had been groomed by her tutor, a lot of things about her came into focus for me. She has really, extremely, terribly poor boundaries with Steph, and vice versa. I don't think she was ever really taught how to have a healthy love for someone, or to get healthy attention from someone that she likes. Coupled with the fact that Steph is also someone with horrible boundaries, and seems not to care about the effect that she has on the girls that look up to her, it's a really terrible situation. I think that the way Nakamura writes this really awful, complicated situation is very interesting, and done in a way where it just makes you wince in pain and sympathy for the characters who are going through it. Steph seriously needs to stop encouraging that behavior in her little sister and understand that the reason she comes onto her comes from a place of being horribly mistreated by the adults in her life.
I thought Liz's backstory was very compelling. As for the "ghost" arc that we're entering, I'm looking forward to seeing where things go. It's nice to see Steph becoming more expressive as well as expressing clear interest in Ruby now. I'm excited for the next volume!

ESTE TOMO ME ENCANTÓ. Sí, es el más oscuro de los tres tomos pero conocer más a fondo a los personajes de Liz y Steph me tenía muy intrigada y con ganas de saber más. Al menos ya conocemos más de sus secretos y el detrás de esa relación ¿curiosa? ¿diferente? ¿extraña? entre estas dos.
El final me intrigó mucho y empiezo a sospechar quién podría ser la culpable detrás de los hurtos. Me encanta que cada tomo toma un plot diferente pero siempre manteniendo la relación cada vez más cercana y ahora con más confianza. Y ocurre tanto entre ellas como con los propios sentimientos de las protagonistas.

This family dynamic is really, really confusing me rn

This is getting frustrating

There are 2 distinct arcs in this volume. The first covers Liz and Steph when they first met. An injured and sickly Steph was dropped off at Liz's home one night like a whirlwind by a mysterious group of adults. Liz's mother asks after "Elle", possibly Steph's caretaker but not clarified. We are informed that "Elle" has died and it's also revealed that Steph and the headmistress share the same full name (Stephanie). The headmistress tells Liz that asteph is her new adopted sister.
As all this is going on, we are shown that Liz and her home tutor have an inappropriate relationship and told that Liz is due to depart for the boarding school in the fall. Over time, Liz and Steph begin to talk more. Steph calls Liz a little girl, and that seems to wake Liz up to her not feeling right about how her tutor has been treating her.
This all culminates at Liz's farewell party. Steph immediately clocks something off about the tutor when she sees him greeting Liz. When the headmistress sends Liz off alone with the tutor, Steph tries to confront her about it being inappropriate to let a man and woman go off alone. Headmistress brushes her off, saying that it's fine because Liz is just a little girl, not a woman. Steph takes it into her own hands and interrupts the tutor before he can SA Liz.
After this, Liz goes to the older girl's room to sleep. As Steph falls asleep, Liz kisses her, solidifying Liz's feelings for Steph (who doesn't seem to respond or return them). In the morning, Liz falls ill with suspected tetanus. The headmistress reveals that Steph is her biological daughter and Liz realizes that the two are blood siblings but that it's too late to stop her feelings for steph.
The second arc brings us back to present day at the boarding school. Ruby is collecting donations for a Christmas tree and the girls are telling ghost stories. Meanwhile, there has been some petty thefts occurring on campus that Steph and her roommate are tasked with investigating.
New characters are introduced: Marjory/Marge is obsessed with the occult. Blythe is Marge's roommate who befriends Ruby and lately smells like cigarettes. Daniella is a readhaired former athlete who seems to have taken up smoking in the "haunted" bell tower.
This arc seems to be setting up a lot of little annoying plot threads for me to forget by the time the next volume comes out! The donation bin was missing 50c that Ruby was trying to fish out from under a bench for days. Her friends re count the bin to find that the 50c is mysteriously back in the bin while at the same time another girl has found she is missing a 50c coin with a heart drawn on it, which we see is now in the donation bin. Marge seems to be jealous that Blythe and Ruby have become friends and suspicious that Ruby might be the cause of her friends new nicotine perfume, especially after seeing them chatting near the (haunted) bell tower. As the reader, we see that Blythe and Daniella seem to have some sort of Friendship, which is more likely why Blythe is stinky. Finally, the teacher of the students whose stuff keeps disappearing is pregnant and it keeps coming up that her class intends to get her a congratulatory present.
I think Marge is going to try something next volume to either frame Ruby or get revenge on her somehow for being a bad influence on Blythe. I think it will be revealed that Daniella is crying in the bell tower about her lost lacrosse career and that it's not a ghost. I hope we get a little more about Steph's backstory and maybe if we are super lucky a bit more Ruby x Steph development.
I hate how slow this series comes out, I always forget what's going on by the time I get my hands on a new volume. Hopefully my cliff notes helps by the time I get my hands on vol. 4. I love the art and the dreamy, mysterious, and grim atmosphere. Keeps me coming back!

It has been about two year since I read the second volume.
This starts with a flashback of how Steph came to live with Liz and her mother. Liz having a relationship with her tutor, which no one has any suspicious about the true natural. Until Steph arrives and meets him. I do kind of wonder about the relationship between Steph and Liz's mother. In the flashback it looked like they were going to kiss before Liz walked in, but when Steph's health worsen, she referred to her as her daughter so are Steph and Liz siblings or adopted siblings cause I am confused?
Eventually, we return to the present with rumors of a ghost and Ruby making a new friend after she drops the donation box and change is missing. But that is not the only thing that is missing, hairpins from students are also coming up missing. It is implied that Marge who uses tarot cards may be the culprit.
The change was accounted for but there were hearts on it, implying that the change belongs to the student who lost her hairpin.
I love the artwork but the story is all over the place to me. Maybe in the next volume, the plot will be more concise to follow.
I saw that the next volume gets released in June.

Tw: pseudo incest, grooming, SA
Asumiko takes on an interesting path in Liz’s character by showcasing her tutor grooming her and Steph getting her out of that sort of relationship (almost like her “saviour”). It helps the viewer to decipher how the weird pseudo incest relationship began. I feel like Steph puts up with it because of guilt, especially after witnessing the tutor thing, while Liz seems desperate for affection in any way especially because of her mother’s neglect . Anyway, Im excited for the upcoming volumes however and I hope to see more of Liz, Steph and Ruby’s relationship development .. :)

Même si ce n'est pas le meilleur titre de l'autrice, je reste totalement sous le charme et je trouve même qu'il monte d'un cran ici en s'intéressant à Stéph et surtout Liz.
Tout d'abord, je ne peux m'empêcher de revenir sur la beauté des dessins d'Asumiko Nakamura qui retranscrivent si bien l'atmosphère unique de ces écoles privées pour fille. Tout est rondeur, tout est rumeur. Tout est fantasme, tout est subjugation. J'adore la façon dont elle se joue des lignes et des courbes pour rendre son dessin aussi parlant que ses mots, ajoutant de nouvelles dimensions au récit à chaque case. Je suis totalement sous son charme.
Ici, on s'intéresse à la famille de Liz et à la manière dont Steph y est entrée, sauvant ainsi Liz de la mauvaise pente où elle glissait. Il est question de fascination pour une autre femme à l'aura de Vamp. Il est question, une fois de plus, de parents défaillants qui conduisent leurs enfants à la ruine sans s'en rendre compte, ici en poussant Liz dans les bras d'un professeur pédophile. Il est surtout et heureusement question de sororité. J'ai adoré ! En plus, le drame n'est jamais bien loin et mille question me viennent quant au passé qui a conduit Steph dans cette demeure, dans cet état, un soir à l'aube de ses 15 ans.
Le retour à l'école est cependant un peu brutale. On y perd alors tout ce qu'on avait gagné précédemment en découvrant la profondeur de la relation Liz-Steph et le rôle de sauveuse que cette dernière avait eu, pour retomber sur des histoires de bac à sable. En apparence. Car sous prétexte de suivre Ruby, l'autrice, telle une directrice de ballet, met sur son chemin des personnages qui ont le potentiel d'être fascinantes. Il y a cette ancienne sportive contrariée suite à une blesse. Il y a cette élève qui semble lambda mais qui cache un secret, ce que soupçonne sa colocataire qui aime tirer les cartes. Ou encore, notre chère directrice de l'internat qui est de tous les secrets. Ajoutez à cela une histoire de disparition de petits objets qui agite tout le monde et vous avez la intrigue de lancée. Un peu faible à ce stade, je demande à voir.
Si j'adore la façon légère et poétique dont elle capture le quotidien de ces jeunes filles et de leurs pépiements en huis clos, notamment avec sa superbe majesté graphique. Je reste un peu sur ma faim dès qu'on est à l'école où les histoires sont quand même moins percutantes que les secrets de famille que chacun cache. Quitte à aller dans le drame, j'aimerais qu'on y ailler plus franchement pour vraiment vibrer.

Lmfao Asumiko Nakamura cannot seem to write anything without a creepy man preying on a child.
Honestly I'm so confused by all the relationship dynamics. I'm assuming we'll get a clearer answer in the future volumes, but I'm pretty sure the answer is leading to incest LOL. Ruby and Steph are cute tho and they are def not related so that's great. I like how calm collected Steph is getting a little jealous. I eat that shit up.

I adore nakamura but honestly her writing isn’t for everyone. the characters she writes and her art style have always been what I was drawn to since reading All About J so I absolutely adore this petty drama of teen girls fighting over their crush.
I cannot wait for the next volume !!

ok ok ça commence à cook quelque chose
le tome précédent était vraiment d'un ennuie terrible, celui-ci remonte un peu, si le manga suit cette lignée on devrait avoir un truc pas mal du tout pour les prochains tomes

3 stars. I didn’t care for this volume as much unfortunately. That sucks because volume two was really good. The creepy older guy? Jail. But the plot itself is a bit nonsensical and I feel like the series is a bit unfocused overall. Gorgeous artwork though.
