It is still very fun to read and very chill, although I thought it was not as well structured as the first one :)

Series of short manga stories originally written to compliment the Cowboy Bebop manga series. I read it because I caught some middle schoolers giggling over it in the library today and got curious.
This book is rated 13+, and that’s probably about right. One of the characters is quite buxom and dresses as if for a hot summer day but her costume in the book never varies. The objectification is there but isn’t acted on by Faye or anyone around her. It’s a weird line this book walks. I can see why the middle schoolers had stuff to talk about. Faye does not follow our middle school’s dress code, but you could argue that she dresses to suit California’s.
Anyway, aside from Faye’s outfit, there is a box or two where a character is smoking. Other than that pretty tame reading experience.

Just lost interest in this series. Should have probably tried to read them all in 1 sitting.

So I read volume two... and it was awesome! Yeah, I have no idea what else to say! This review is going to be me basically gushing over how awesome this manga series is... so... you've been warned. XP
I was excited to get my hands on the next volume of Cowboy Bebop since I loved the first volume so much. It did NOT disappoint. Reading the chapters of this manga is like watching the individual episodes of the anime. It was great. It was fun, exciting, engaging, amazing! I loved how each chapter played out its own plot. The characters were amazing, including some of the new ones. The art style is just fantastic! Overall, I enjoyed ever aspect of this book!
Nanten just keeps getting better and better! The art of this manga is so nice to look at. The characters have their own unique designs and the scenery is just astounding. You feel as if you are on a different planet! And the one who wrote the story, Hajime Yatate (I don't think I talked about them in my last review), did an excellent job again by taking the formula they used for the anime and adapted onto the manga and it flowed beautifully. Nothing seemed forced. It literally felt as if you were watching an actual Cowboy Bebop episode and I couldn't be happier.
I already said how much I love Spike and the rest of the Bebop crew. In this volume, it's no different. They were all badass and lived up to my expectations. Even the new characters were great! Kazuki, a news reporter, though slightly... naive... she brought a lightness to the story that was necessary considering how dark this series can get sometimes. Linda Wise, a mentor to Faye, was fantastic! She was intelligent and kind. You can tell she really cared for Faye. The Killer... he was the butt of Ed's jokes and his end was hilarious! Finally, Allison was somewhat bland but because of her, we were able to get to see a softer side to Spike. Naturally, I enjoyed the new characters tremendously. However, no one can take the spot of my favorite character ever. That spot is reserved for Jet. God, he was so cute, amazing, epic, and wonderful in this manga! Made me laugh a few times, too! XD
If you decided, to read the first volume then I highly suggest you read this one as well. It's full of action, suspense, drama, and comedy! In fact, this volume was a bit more light-hearted tha the previous one but that doesn't mean it wasn't a great volume! It was awesome! Any Cowboy Bebop fan would LOVE to read this manga. Trust me. It is just THAT good!
There's only one left... oh, no! I am not ready for this! I don't want this lovely manga to end! DX But, alas, there is but one left. Oh well... I am REALLY looking forward to seeing where this last volume is going to take me!I know it's going to be epic! >:3

This is a high 3-star rating as this one is surprisingly good. Most of the stories in this volume are interesting, but “She’s a Rainbow” and “Like a Rolling Stone” in particular are perfectly fit as Bebop stories and they flow quite well.
