This series was a major miss for me :/ I don't know what it is, but I just don't get the hype.

Honestly, my feelings haven't really changed from volume 1: unoriginal and bland characters, an art style that doesn't gel with me, a fine storyline that has been done better in other places. The dialogue is perfectly average, but I feel like it was written to be really witty and make me laugh and I just think it's really uninspired.

Also, I'm fairly certain the the artists have never drawn a fat character before, because her size is so inconsistent it's infuriating. Sometimes she seems like she weighs the same as the other characters, sometimes she seems to be the weight of two other characters combined, sometimes she's somewhere in the middle. It really started to bug me in this volume.

This series was a massive disappointment for me. It's really sad that in a series with such a cool premise, the most interesting part for me was the Goldie Vance reference (is she a real detective who existed, or is she a fictional character?? It's never explained and I wanna know).
