アオハライド 2 by Io Sakisaka
4.0

This continues to be a solid series mostly thanks to the characters!

This time the whole group goes on a scavenger hunt. It really helps make Futaba a more understandable character this time around, and her love for Kou is still up in the air. She's deciding if she loves him, or loves the image of him. Really interesting viewpoint on top of all the side characters starting to get flushed out in a interesting way as well. It's melodrama for sure, and the love twist at the end I'm 50/50 on, but plenty of sweet moments, and great art, with a good amount of comedy that hits. A 4 out of 5.
