This book was genuinely so good. Especially the scene where Tacachi comes out to his mom. The entire plot revolves around the challenges lgbt couples face in the real word involving housing, acceptance and overall security of the future. 3/5 because the new character pissed me off LOL!!

I never had the chance to finish reading the series beyond the first book in 2019. This second book is substantially so much better than the first book. I enjoyed the journey of following Taichi and Naoto figuring out how to define their idea of what love is to them in a world that won't accept them. Nishina being the additional character of the storyline wrapped in well together with the other characters. I thought this was more well written than the first book as well, allowing for me to get sucked into the story.

Nishi saved this volume. I really like his character despite the weird pointless blackmail that was included. Like what was the reason? I reallyyy don't like Taichi. He's built up to be this sweet and shy dude, but he has anger issues and he really doesn't talk about anything. Nao deserves better, but I KNOW Nishi is stuck in second love interest hell. He's just going to move along the plot and bring the MCs closer and add a little drama. Ugh.

You thought I didn't manage to read 2 & 3 while she was busy? >_> Don't forget my prowess young folk. Still enjoyable, even if it is a bit weird at times.

This was an upgrade to the previous volume and definitely focused on the more emotional side of things which I liked. The new character was also a welcome surprise and I enjoyed seeing his motivations and conflict from his actions throughout the story. The protagonists also seemed a lot more compatible together compared as well, which was nice.

The story is a bit heavy. Sure the uke is a bit funny but overall the story was heavy. It's good though. The first volume I only rated it 4 stars cause I was a bit mad about the 'rape' scene. I mean, sure Taichi stopped after he saw Nao crying. But still it's still rape. He didn't want to do it. He said no. I wish the creator did something more about that scene.
But yes, Volume 2 is definitely better and I liked it even though it was a bit heavy drama.

I am pretty sure Escape Journey was supposed to be a single volume manga only, but got a continuation because of its well deserved popularity. Because of that, I was a bit wary of where this was going to go, but I need not have worried. If you like your BL with a RL touch, this definitely is for you, although man, why does RL have to be this depressing for gay people? Sigh. Surprisingly I even liked the drama involving the ~other guy, mostly because it wasn't handled in the usual cheap way. I am really curious (aka dying to know) how it all turns out....
