As always- I'm obsessed with Itagaki's work! I'll forever love the way she investigates different relationships and harsh ways of the world.
This one, in my opinion, was an improvement story-wise on the 1st volume for sure. This is probably due to Itagaki having been able to find her mojo way more at the time of writing these stories, whereas in vol 1, a few of them were written before she made Beastars. Either way though, I've enjoyed all of the stories in both volumes so far in different ways!
