I bought the second book for my husband but of course I had to read it after he finished it! I am not a such a big fan of RWBY as he is, but I still love reading the manga and the other stories on paper. This book is all about Weiss Schnee. From short to longer stories. A few 4-komas are also found. I had such a laugh at all that happened, though I was also a bit sad given Weiss's family (especially her father who never had that much attention for her). I loved seeing the friendship between the girls and also see them get closer/form more of a team. I had a big big laugh at the stories featuring cookies (one I am sure is Ruby's way to bribe Weiss to get her to help with a project while the other meant deadly cookies). I love the various art for each story. Some I was more of a fan than others but in general I liked them all and it is always fun to see what the next story has for art.
Next year I got to get the next volume!

Weiss gets her own volume of short stories that reveal the difficulties in her past and why/how she has cultivated her ice princess personality, and the relationship between the team members is explored further. Once again, I am reminded of how much I relate to Blake (as always), and hope she gets her own volume in time as well.

The "Weiss Attack" is hilarious, and I can't really think of a better use for inedible homemade cookies, although Weiss was horrified. There is more than one way to avert a crisis, and making use of chocolate chip cookies baked by Weiss is one of them. Zwei is super adorable and yes, looking a little plump . . . the only annoying aspect was Weiss' focus (for one story) on becoming 'hot' like Winter. I like how she idolizes her sister, but not when she idolizes her physical endowments like that. Sorry, Weiss, you just might not grow a set of giant boobs and an overblown hourglass figure like her, but you're still worthy of attention for your more important 'attributes.'

It was an cute read , but the stories within the manga was very mashed up. There were quite a few stories that didn't completely make sense . I wouldn't reccomend.

This manga was very enjoyable! Unlike the Ruby one, I felt like this expanded Weiss some more and was a way for us to see inside her head and what she thought of her teammates. And yes I know this is NOT canon, but it was so well done that I like to think it is. Weiss' moments with Winter were very nice to see as it gave us an explanation for some things and her moments with Yang and Blake were lovely to see as well as they have been teammates Wiess hasn't had much interaction with in the show after discovering Blake was a Faunus (in my opinion). Overall if you are debating getting this manga or if you already have it and are debating reading it soon I say just go for it! It is a lovely cute manga with amazing stories that develop Weiss some more. If you don't feel like reading it now then I do recommend waiting to read it once the current Volume of RWBY ends as this manga, along with the other 3, are a great way to get RWBY content while it is off the air.
