REVIEW:

This second volume is way depressing. There’s so much unhappiness, so many problems. Drama is everywhere, and cruelty as well. The characters barely even smile. That’s too bad because their smiles are beautiful.

The story picks up right where it left of at the end of the first volume. That’s cool, but also a stark message that the characters are in deep, deep trouble with the Sex Police.

So-so plot, so-so atmosphere, great characterization, great graphics and (still) an interesting concept.

I still recommend picking it up, because it’s incredibly original and reads interestingly, but let’s say I’m not jubilating when thinking of picking the third book.
