In a story that has impressively remained as intense as it's first volume, the second is a quick and chest-tightening read that goes by much faster than the first. Just as you think the stress may finally be over, it cultivates in a shocking and unexpected revelation that seems to set volume three up to be even worst than the first two. Yikes!

THIS IS MF INSANE. THIS IS TORTURE.

IS IT NORMAL THAT I WAS ACTUALLY WAITING FOR NAKAMURA GO EVOLVE AND LIKE GROW HORNS, WINGS, AND A DEVIL'S TAIL? I SWEAR THIS IS EVIL AND NASTY AND SOMETHING YOU'D DEF FROWN UPON BUT IT HAS ITS BOLD AND ARTISTIC STROKES... I was actually amazed.

Ok, I don't think this is an author for me. I have dabbled in I think three series by this author now.
I feel like this author really knows how to make a good uneasy or suspenseful. But also all these authors works have made me just sort of uncomfortable.
Anyway I don't think I will be continuing this specific series (or probably another of the authors other series but who knows). Cause tbh I just don't care about this series. Like I don't like it, but also it's not like that bad. Like it's not bad enough to be good bad. It's just kind of mediocre for me right now. So ya... To be honest I had high hopes for this specific series since I've heard some good things so ya, it seems like me being disappointed or just not liking books has been a little pattern lately.

Este manga da miedo, aún así me encanta.
No sé muy bien cómo podría definir este manga, ya que presenta una historia tan retorcida, pero a la misma manera es esto lo que le vuelve tan curioso y entretenido. El autor trata de expresar que todos tenemos ciertas perversiones en nuestro fondo, y en este segundo tomo esto fue mucho más evidente. Resulta tentador y entretenido. ¡Necesito saber cómo continua en el tercer tomo!

Much better than volume one.

In this one we see a bit more into Kasuga's personality and we find that he's not quite as 'stuck-up' as we first thought. Although he does look down on those that don't read complex books like him, we find that he does have a heart.

Saeki becomes more of a main character, and awww, isn't she sweet. What a lovely girl. I really hope nothing bad happens to her. The scenes between her and Kasuga are very touching. I'm sure we've all experienced an awkward scene with someone we liked before. Despite it's 'perverted' undertones the story seems quite realistic.

And wow, Nakamura. What a character. Very interesting and a bit on the disturbed sign.

I really liked the ending of this one.
