Monica Adventures #2: We Fought Each Other as Kids...Now We're in Love?! by Mauricio de Sousa

destdest's review against another edition

3.0

I liked this volume much, much better than the first, and there’s less winking haha. This had a single storyline as opposed to the random shorts from before and some meta moments. For me, who doesn’t know much about these characters, I found J-Five annoying. If you can’t commit, get out the way for a real man! However, I think if I had known about this franchise all along, I would’ve found the

big kiss

super satisfying, like when your favorite cartoon characters finally get together after like 3 seasons. Still, the

kiss scene

was straight out of a shoujo. It’s so cute!

There were a lot of references, callbacks, and appearances from an array of characters that would surely make longtime fans happy. Still, as a newcomer, I got up to speed quickly.
