This wasn't well-done at all, thanks to some incredibly confusing panels (way too many close-ups where I genuinely couldn't even tell what or whom I was looking at), a plot that isn't making a lot of sense so far, and what I suspect may have been a poorly crafted translation (some dialogue bits didn't make much sense or read very awkwardly). This is definitely a manga series that I suspect will eventually be mostly valued for its steamy content above all else, and there's nothing wrong with that, but the plot itself is rough and the characters are very self-contradicting for the most part. Levi makes some choices in this volume that didn't make sense to me based on everything he's said and done leading up to this point, and it didn't sit well with me at all! I was already hesitant to continue the series after volume 1, and I'm thinking at this point that I probably won't move on to the next installment.
