[.ca] The Wallflower 2: Yamatonadeshiko Shichihenge (ISBN 0345479491)

A little less humor, a little more romance.:
After reading the first volume of "The Wallflower", I had high hopes for the second installment of the series. Though I can't say I didn't like the book, it definitely pales in comparison to the debut volume. Sunako falls slightly out of character at minor points in the story, Kyohei's actions seem a little random and overall the humor is a little less intense as from the first volume. Also, there is a lot less material this time. The actual manga part of the book is a lot shorter than last time's; however, instead of just a pointless laugh-out-loud book, it brings to the table a bit of suspense this time around. There also appears to be a lot more suggestiveness and introduction to possible romances in this volume. I would recommend this manga series as a whole rather than this particular volume alone, and if you really just want to try this series out and not commit to reading the entire thing, I'd suggest going for volume 1 instead.
