This series makes me so happy. Abeille and Miel still spend some time experimenting with each other in this volume, but their relationship progresses, and they officially become an item. We also see how Clove and Ivy are seeing each other more often. Both of them are becoming more open to cuddling and other forms of touch, in part due to Abeille's influence. 

In this volume we are finally shown how Poppy's sister, Evette, died. Poppy, Abeille's old room, becomes prominent within the story. I have mixed feelings about her. I dislike her for being manipulative and lashing out at Abeille. Poppy is very critical of the way Abeille both chooses to live her life and to grieve her sister. It's not behavior that is conducive to a friendship. Besides that, it feels like she may have some residual romantic feelings for Poppy. This wasn't fully explored in this volume, but I feel it will probably be explored more later on.  I appreciated that Poppy eventually owns up to her behavior and makes amends. 

Meanwhile, we get a lot of wholesome romantic development for Clove. Ivy also is starting to spend more time with Aster. We also learn a bit more of her family together with some interesting family drama. Everyone gets some time to shine, and I was always interested in seeing what was going on with each character. Whilst volume 1 felt like an introduction to a lot of the characters, volume 2 feels like an exploration of every character. It was a great time and I'm looking forward to more in volume 3.
