Okay, so this came together well! The first volume was fun, but kinda all over the place; this volume was more cohesive. It was nice to get to hang out with some of the other characters this time, and let Kazu and Pandora have smaller parts. We get a better feel for the world, and we get some more serious situations for the characters to deal with. Also, there's cute guys with horns (what?!? I've got a type, sorry/not sorry)!

 This volume has gotten a great deal darker though it opens with a chaotic game of basically keep-away until an egg hatched.

I like the story best when it focuses on Kazu, Pandora, Nemo, and Hitomi. A bunch of new characters were introduced and a side character got the spotlight, but I didn’t care too much for it. The artwork is still excellent as usual, but when so much is going on it can get confusing.

This series never fails to impress! So funny, and every character is so lovable. I long for the day to see these guys animated!

4.0

While I really enjoyed the first volume and was excited to see where the story went in this second volume it felt like way more of a filler piece than anything else. 

I guess I thought it would continue to focus on Kazu and Pandora and maybe feature some new characters. I was not anticipating essentially a brand new cast of characters front running everything. I honestly couldn't keep up with certain things and some of the plot lines felt rushed. 

I wasn't a fan of the new Kazu and Pandora strife. It felt very manipulative from both sides and seemingly out of no where. 

I still enjoyed it to a point. But definitely had different hopes for it. 

Thank you to Viz Media and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.
