Ao Haru Ride, Vol. 2 (2)

Been a big fan of Io Sakisaka’s work for a while and finally getting my hands on my own copy of this series. Came fast and in good condition!

It didn’t even come but the book itself is good

Futaba and Kou continue from book 1 exactly where they left off, so best read book one first, if you want to understand what is happening. Futaba is trying to reconcile her thoughts and feelings towards Kou. They vary between liking and annoyed verging on hate. Kou tries to push Futaba away with his comments but Futaba can be persistent and wants to know Kou's past without her so she can understand his current character. Kou insists he is a completely different person to who he was before, Futaba now understands but wants to know why. With encouragement from Kou's brother, Futaba becomes class representative. In asking for a male class representative, Futaba finds Kou volunteering. He didn't know what he let himself in for when both reps along with the event representatives, Yuri, Shuko, and Aya, were to attend an overnight workshop with other class and event reps from the school. Things don't start of well and go downhill from there. Both Kou and Futaba get further apart then closer, leaving themselves in a limbo. It was fun and the drawings are beautiful. The characters are developing well and the story is progressing well too. There are fun moments and thoughtful ones too. The writer adds some interesting information about Futaba and Kou in a run down at the end. The author's comments on the side were fun too. I can't wait for the next instalment although I know I will have to wait but it makes you feel invested in the characters and a need to see what happens next. Well worth a look.

Gut wie die Foto Aber hat zuuuu viel gewartet

Came early and in perfect condition. I had discovered this manga a few years back and absolutely loved it. So I plan on adding it to my collection. Arts beautiful and the story is sweet.
