I had Norah Jones's "Come Away With Me" stuck in my head after reading this for some reason
I was on the fence about whether or not I was going to
continue this series after the first volume, despite giving it five stars, but
after reading the 2nd book I’m glad I did. The ‘running away’ starts
here and I definitely enjoyed seeing them escape. I’m very hopeful for the relationship
between Maki and Midori and I wish them the best (reasonably sure we’re heading
toward a happy ending now not some lovers’ suicide/tragic thing, but who knows).
More than anything I just want Midori’s fiancé to disappear from existence. Dude
is a scumbag. Hoping he’s not in book 3 much. This manga has this weird way of
flittering between beautiful and depressing that it’s rather tough to read, but
I think it’s worth it. When we see Midori from Maki’s perspective and she’s
always sparkling it really hits me with a sense of wonder – but then you see
the world from Midori’s side and things are rarely ever that dazzling. On a
side note: really enjoyed meeting Komori for the first time. Her addition was
welcome.
REVIEW OF VOLUME 3 COMING SOON!
