I could have done without the beach scene. That entire sequence seemed out of place.

This just kept going: more character development, more drama, more fluff, and more thought provoking themes. I love how this storyline introduces villains, but dives into their back stories as well.

Quick little review since I wasn't planning on reviewing this until I read the first 5 volumes. So far im in love with this series. It's super cute and I can easily relate to. Going through most of elementary school and middle school with not many people I was super close to and not being invitied to people's birthday parties, I can completely relate to mei and I think she is so much like me. She is one of the characters that I relate to most. I also love Yamato. Although I could find them falling in love unrealistic and a common trope that is often used n Disney movies and tv shows, I found the two of them so cute and adorable. I love them together and I can't wait to read the next volume to find out what happens next with these amazing characters.

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.

This volume was not as good as the first one. Nothing much happened here. I loved the cats tho!

The manga deals a lot more with sex than the anime does, but it never demonizes anyone for doing it. Everyone respects each other's decisions to not or do have sex. That's awesome, especially coming from Japan. This book continues to be really cute, albeit a little more sexually aggressive.
