The first volume was okay, it had its issues and felt a bit simple as far as stories go so I felt the need tot try the second one just to see if I had any interest in continuing this series. I don't think I do.
A lot of this is hinging on the whole redemption angle for the side characters, who through faults of their own are basically dicks but deep inside they want to be better. *rolls eyes* It's obvious, and it didn't really do much to stand apart despite these tropes. The main relationship is kind of surface level cute, but it doesn't go much farther than that. Mei barely has a personality, and when she does it's basically just 'blush and do something awkward'...I don't know I'm not impressed with this or really even marginally interested in the rest of the story.
