The story is still heading in the direction I was hoping and expecting in volume one… but the art is occasionally over sexualised for literally no reason. Like, because this isn’t a romance the mangaka felt the need to add sexual interest and tension through some random panels that don’t service the plot at all.
I’m still intrigued and I already own the series, so I’m going to continue, but a lot of this felt cheap and unnecessary.

This second volume improved on the second. For me, it took the good parts of the first, and enhanced them! I hope this trend continues.
I'm so conflicted. On the one hand, I love the characters, and I think so many conflicts and discussions in this volume struck home, especially concerning friendships and how they change as you grow older. I especially liked the scene with Chihiro and Kondou because it adds a layer to Kondou's characters, and one of my favourite things to read about is writers coming back to love their passion.
If the friendship had arisen from just wanting to be friends, I'd be okay, but with the other layer of romantic interest so many interactions leave a bad taste in my mouth. I'll be picking up the next volume, but I just really wish more barriers had been put up and it was made explicit the direction the mangaka intends to take the story, as I have no idea. If it goes in a romantic direction I'll probably drop my rating of the series as a whole and make it known in every review how this series ends, for other people who hate this massive an age gap romance, especially when the power balance is so messed up.
