Snow White with the Red Hair, Vol. 2 by Sorata Akiduki

I had a hard time getting into the anime for this series, and I wasn't all that impressed with the first volume. I'm happy to say that this volume was better.
The first half was still very ehh. Shirayuki is getting into her role as herbalist, and Zen is the prince but also staying close when he can, trying to be around her without showing too much favoritism. They go on a trip that turns into Shirayuki helping him cure a town of sick people, in which they both have to understand their roles and do what's right. This was actually interesting in the second half.
We got a little more characteristics from his guards, but they're still just kind of background right now, there for some friendship fun moments.
But in the second half, Zen's older brother shows up, and that adds some drama. Izana and Zen don't quite get along, though I think we'll get more of that story in the future. Right now, this causes some issues for Shirayuki, as it's obvious Zen likes her and thus is a weakness for him.
This volume ended on a small cliffhanger that actually has me intrigued to read more.
