A small warning: Due to a few sexual scenes and some chat about sex, I wouldn't recommend this book for under 17/18 years old.
This volume was just perfect, it was cute, it was romantic. However I see we are really taking a turn out of PG territory and going to a more mature one. Which is ok, it isn't overly done, though it made me a bit uncomfortable to see the sex scenes.
Mei is really growing, she becomes more cute, more certain and she slowly starts to trust Yamato more and more. Even getting comfortable with him kissing her at times (though apparently French kisses are still out of the question). I loved how she said no to that friend of Yamato, just left because she didn't feel comfortable. Go girl! I am not sure if the old Mei would have done this.
And her swimming suit, oh lol, where did she dig that one up. I wasn't expecting that. While I was sure she wasn't the type for bikinis, but I never knew she would cover herself up that much.
We also find out a bit more about her past, with her strict dad and his death after a sickbed.
Yamato is a wonderful guy, and I love how much he does, helps and understands Mei. Of course he is still a pervert, but he respects Mei's boundaries and won't do anything unless she really wants it. And he is honest, Mei asks a question and he answers it.
The side characters are wonderful, and I am really happy to see more about Aiko, Asami and Nakanishi and also Hayakawa. It makes me happy that although they are side-characters that they get just as much time in the spotlight as Mei or Yamato.
And the artstyle is still absolutely lovely, though there are a few times where things don't look that good.
All in all I am looking forward to the next volumes, only a few more months to go until Vol. 3 comes out.

I liked this volume a lot better. Realising this series is rather sex heavy. Quite the contrast from the teen romance mangas I typically read.

En este volumen hay muchÃsimas cosas que se omitieron en el anime y se alcanza a comprender mejor a ciertos personajes secundarios. A pesar de que me he visto el anime varias veces, este volumen ata uno que otro cabo suelto para los que somos fans del anime.

I really liked the scenes between Mei and Yamato in this volume, they are such a cute couple (those bracelets are the best)! But I still wish that this wasn't an insta-love series. I almost never find it as interesting, or as satisfying as one that takes it's time a bit more. Also, I gotta be honest, I really don't like the side characters, well most of them anyways, cause Asami is pretty cool. I feel like they're all just a bunch of rude, selfish jerks, with boring stories (most of this is directed at Aiko and Hayakawa). There should be more focus on Mei, she's our main character, yet I feel like I barely know her.
