The second volume of Kazuki Irodori's adaptation of The Other World's Books Depend on the Bean Counter into manga form is fun! It mostly focuses on Aresh's attempts to get Seiichirou to take care of himself better, with Aresh quickly becoming fascinated by as much as exasperated by him, along with some world building.
I do wish Aresh would talk to Seiichirou about how he feels a bit more, and tell him that he likes him and wants to spend the time with him -- and that he'd maybe be a bit less controlling, even if Seiichirou has no sense of self-preservation. The scene where Seiichirou says he's not interested in younger people is really pretty funny in a sad sort of way -- poor Aresh!
I'm not sure entirely where it's going to go, as far as weighting between plot, pining and actual relationship stands. We'll see, I guess; I'm interested enough that I'm thinking about reading the light novels.
