Everything that was true for the first volume is true for this one – the art is utterly gorgeous, the drama is top notch levels of ridiculous, and the characters are wonderful. I was torn between savouring the art or rushing to see what would happen next. There's nothing to disappoint in this that would make me suggest not picking it up – except perhaps if you wish to avoid any depiction of sexual assault. There's a brief moment where André attempts to rape Oscar on pages 424 - 434, but is unable to go through with his plans and appears to regret his decision.
My one minor gripe is that it's becoming harder to tell what is and isn't text. Sometimes monologues are given outside of speech bubbles and it's a coin toss as to whether the other person in the scene will respond.
