You may be wondering how I ended up here again. Curiosity got me… but I still hate this. I’m going to hate read this series. Yuzu is a great character and is really the only reason I’m continuing…

Sorry, but even with a 3 stars, I am dropping this series from this volume on.
Mei is just so horrendous. And yes, I know her daddy isn’t there (dick), he left years ago (again I am wondering how Yuzu’s mom met him), but that is no need to be a manipulative bitch who only wants to kiss/assault Yuzu whenever she is feeling down/sad/angry or whatever. This is not how you treat people girl. This is not at all how you treat people. You know about Yuzu’s feelings and you just toy with them like they are nothing. Either accept Yuzu, accept that you want her because you love her, or just don’t do it at all. Now you are only hurting someone close to you and that is a big no no.
And not only that but Mei’s moods just got annoying. Seriously, again, I know she is not really the best emotionally with stuff that happened, but that is still no excuse to be so hot and cold in her life. Nice one time, the next distant, the next a total bitch. Bleh, what a crap character.
Yuzu on the other hand is the only reason why I wanted to try it again, why I wanted to check out the second volume. Because Yuzu? Yuzu is amazing. She is strong, determined, willing to do anything and everything for her friends and family. But you can also see she doesn’t have it all too easy, but unlike Mei, doesn’t go around having mood swings as big as the Mount Everest.
I felt so sorry for her. Her love for Mei is still all new, she is so confused, and then you have the girl you love treat you like this.
Momokino was slightly better in this one, though I thought the thing she did when Yuzu and Mei were on a trip was just plain creepy and stalkerish. Go away. Shoo.
The art is still gorgeous, and is also the reason why the manga scores so high for me.
But would I recommend this one? No. Nope. Never. There are enough other Yuri/Shoujo-ai manga out there that are way better and deserve more love than this one.

Este fue, sin duda, el mejor que he leído. Sé que es el segundo, y que aún me faltan otros ocho, pero este es uno de los mejores.
A pesar de ser el segundo tomo, la relación de Yuzu y Mei va mejorando de una forma bastante increíble. También me he emocionado con varias escenas de otros personajes.
A pesar de eso... sigo siendo team Harumin :D

The fan service cover doesn't do this volume justice.
Here we learn more about Yuzu and Mei, what is driving their behavior. How the lack of familial love and parental figures has developed a confusion over how to communicate their emotions. Their relationship is messy, inappropriate and clumsy. Perhaps there is genuine attraction but I think it's mainly 2 girls who need a support in place they can trust and don't feel they need to bribe in order for them to stick around.
There are issues of consent and its sad to see Mei doing whatever she thinks the other person wants of her, regardless of her own desires.
They both need a good slap really.

More plot made this one a bit less horrifying and cringe, but it's still pretty icky. Why is every kiss/steamy moment nonconsensual?! Characters literally yelling "stop! stop!" but the other person doesn't listen? Ugh.
