I can't fully decide if I liked this volume more or less than the first volume. At first I liked it more and then I thought I liked it less. I just don't know. I think I'm struggling to not compare it to the Netflix series. I really love the adapation but it so different from the comic tha it feels unfair to compare the two. When I separate the two stories, I can admit that I like the adaptaion better but I don't hate the comic. I found that it sometimes felt a little confusing. I think it has to do with the fact that each of the main characters has multiple names; their name, their nickname and their number. To add to that confusion, time travel plays a bigger role in Volume 2 so sometimes the visual representation of the character is different because they're older or younger. Other than all of that, I did enjoy reading this volume and will probably read volume 3.
