Similar as Book 1. While the art style is gorgeous and the characters are sweet, the story is difficult to understand.
✘ The story doesn’t flow from chapter to chapter. It’s like the chapters were written as singular little moments of the characters’ lives, so they simply do not mesh together to make a cohesive narrative. The story is extremely disjointed and sometimes borderline incoherent. I often wonder what the hell is going on before realizing the previous 3 pages were actually happening on a completely different day and were not related to the previous pages *at all*.
✘ The text is really confusing and you can’t always tell what is dialogue VS thoughts VS narration.
✘ I still don’t really *feel* Mitsuki and Aya’s connection. They are friends (which mostly happened off-page in Book 1), and now they’re both aware they like each other (I also don’t really know why)…… I just don’t feel much about them, tbh. 😕
