I enjoyed this book a lot. A few new characters were introduced, and a couple of them seem to potentially be good for Ryo. (At least, I hope they are; precious Ryo deserves better <3.) I also love seeing the progression and hardships in the boys' brand, rather than life just being easy sailing; in life, there are set backs, and being able to ready about them often helps to work through them :D

emotional reflective tense

Not sure how to catehorically rate this so I won't. The ending of

effectively forced outing without prior consent and the advice that one of the side characters gives Ryo when he confides about an experience that made him feel uber uber uber dysphoric made me feel super uncomfortable, even if they were probably well meaning

. That sad, I'm not sure how to rate the *book* since I have a feeling that we may see reflection on these things in volume 3, and depicting them isn't necessarily bad at all--it's important to talk about--I just wasn't having fun reading to the same degree I was Vol 1. More potential triggers for SURE if you're trans or gnc. Made me sad inside : (

Boys Run the Riot is a great series and that continues in volume 2. This volume starts with the group trying to get their streetwear into a store and then Ryo starting a new job. It's interesting to see Ryo interact with new people and figure out how to share about his identity with his new acquaintances. The end of this volume leaves off on quite the cliffhanger. I'm excited to read further in this series.
