The art is still really cute but the time jump? And the storytelling is very clumsy.

Nina Vakueva's art was GIVING!!! But the plot...not so much.

Everything I loved about the first volume was missing in this one and it honestly lacked substance. There was no will-they/won't-they relationship excitement, not as much passion for music or learning how to fight. I was just really disappointed! The character subplots all fell very flat and it was honestly boring to read about because I had no investment. I think part of the problem was that everything went by too quickly?? We didn't have time to invest in any of the character's stories. I also didn't care much about the characters or the Y2k plot at all. I know its a bad sign when I skim the ending :(( The reason for the extra .5 star is honestly for Nina Vakueva's art which really tries its best to save this story. But beautiful art can only go so far when a plot falls super flat.

I really love this series! I love all the representation, friendships, relationships, and storyline. It’s honestly so cute.

I hope there will be another volume because I want more. Plus, the art work is amazing. I love it!

This was equally as cute as the first one! Definitely enjoying this little series. Would recommend if you want a quick, satisfying read!
