- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Loved this even more than volume 1!
Some minor continuity errors that pulled me out of the story a bit, but overall great character development.

This was a good followup to the first volume. Each issue in this volume focuses on one of the team members, which I loved from a character building standpoint. Because this was more character-centric, the plot with the basketball team and the league didn't seem as important. Those elements are present and tie in with the character moments though. I continued to like the art in this volume. Definitely interested in reading more of this series.

I didn’t connect with this one as much as the first volume, but it was still wonderful and diverse! Each character gets an arch in this one!
It even features a girl with a prosthetic leg on a basketball team! AMAZING!

Vol. 1 ★★★★☆ (3.5)
Vol. 2 ★★★★☆ (3.5)
It's been a minute (or like three years!) since I read the first volume, but I really enjoyed jumping back into this series. These comics follow a college intramural basketball team called the Avant-Guards, made up of a diverse group of art students. The story is light and funny, with an awesome cast of characters. I'm so glad that this volume gave insight into the characters who were more sidelined in the first volume. The plot follows the struggles of keeping the League operating despite loss of a sponsor and thin spectator crowds, while also focusing on each team members individual struggles with school, relationships, injuries, and secrets. There are also silly little gags, mostly in the rival basketball teams. Very fun overall! 3.5 stars

I love the art on this so much. It was nice getting a deeper peak into the feelings and lives of these characters too; the parts of themselves they show and others they hide.
