A really enjoyable, fast and humorous read. Max is relatable and charming and much like the 1st volume I rooted for him from beginning to end. A really quick 180 for the antagonists but that's my only criticism and it's not even that big of a deal considerding the space left in the book.

Rec for those who grew up loving watching/reading stories about magical girls but looking for more

Funny, heartwarming and action packed. I loved this duology. If you grew up on stories like Sailor Moon and loved them then you will love this fun series about a magical boy.

Love this story! It is still very emotional, and some moments just hit so hard. I could easily feel the characters pain in several of the scenes. You'll have to decide if that is a good or bad thing on your own. For me, it's good. It makes me feel less alone. Knowing there are other people out there with similar experiences, worries, and pains makes me feel like I'm not sitting on an island trying to survive by myself. 

This story is very beautiful and I love that the character growth. It's so easy to be caught up in our own heads and only see the world through our filter. This story is a reminder that what's best for us, isn't what's best for everyone. 

I really love this and will be buying a copy for my own shelf. And maybe another copy to lend out to friends.

Marginally better than the first volume but I hate how the antagonists are written in the first volume and that carries over into this one.
