funny lighthearted mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

The second installment brings the same sense of mystery and comedy as the first volume, only this time you get to witness how Mao Mao solves an issue at a special party held in the palace. I liked this volume because you get to see how clueless and goofy Mao Mao can be while also being diligent and serious, and you get to see more of how the characters see her. The art style is beautiful, and I love how expressive the characters are.
