Scott Pilgrim is trying to manage his love life. Now that he's met Romona Flowers, perhaps his current girlfriend Knives Chau isn't quite the one. Meanwhile, he's still in the middle of fighting all of Romona's evil-exes.
While Scott Pilgrim is pretty much a blubbering idiot who tends to make a mess of things, he still very much a hodge-podge of most people at that age. Silly folks who make a mess of things. Most of the agency here is driven by all of the side characters, and the plot only progresses along thanks to their usefulness. The pacing of volume 2 is a bit confusing at times, especially when it's cutting between present time and flashbacks. I had to double check to make sure I was reading the right thing.
A decent read that moves the plot along.

This isn't a book, it's a video game. It's better to know that before you start reading. Also, Calvin, it is rated "T", just like a video game -- so the answer is "No."
Bryan Lee O'Malley's series continues to be hilarious and unusual. I love the blend of real life and gaming life, and the jokes don't stop. It's pure book candy, and I love it.

I enjoyed this one even more than the first one. The "mystery" of untangling Scott and Ramona's relationship is engaging. While very stylized, it manages to capture the feeling of learning about a new romantic partner you haven't known for very long. Also, I realized Scott strongly reminds me of a person I was friends with a long time ago, which is a weird feeling. 😅
