so far this manga is a 3.5 for me. it's really fun and i'm truly loving the friendship aspect most of all but the art style somehow makes it very hard for me to concentrate on what's happening or see what's going on...

Volume two continus RWBY’s story at Beacon Academy. This is basically the retelling of the first season in manga format. We meet Sun and Neptune and team RWBY learns about the White Fang and Blake’s past. Oh, and we also met Penny!

I don’t fully remember what Ruby’s initial reaction was to Penny in the show but I don’t think she was “forced” to socialize with her. At least they actually hit it off later on and act like real friends.

I love dumb himbos Sun and Neptune but I wish Sun got less focus. I mean yes, he is important to the White Fang plot but team JNPR are also important characters and they got less screen time all together than Sun.

I liked the art style as usual and the character designs followed the show. I liked how the action scenes looked but I found them a bit hard to follow in drawn format. I appreciated that the dialogue made sure to explain and emphasize the semblances/powers the kids used because this can be confusing for people who haven’t watched the show.

I adored that even the food fight was kept, which is just as utterly ridiculous as it was in the show. It shows the great duality of RWBY managing to be fun while also managing heavier plotlines.
