This is my fave volume so far. I appreciate that communication being important is a theme in this one. It doesn't fix everything or make it so no one is mean, but it lets you define yourself and your boundaries. I also like how they truly defined the reason why they are starting this brand. The Tsubasa storyline and the look into how online communities and businesses move, was unexpected.

I liked this and definitely want to read the 2nd one that came out earlier this year. 

Oh shit, that ending cliffhanger. It's great getting back into this one. The relationships Ryo is making are diverse. Lots of questioning. And somehow this is still so stylish. I am not an art major or fashion connoisseur, but you can see what out color or people being flashy how each person's clothes show their personalities or how they want to be seen. You can see who is more fashionable without that knowledge. As much as Ryo questions their looks (is this body dismorphia?), every outfit is so refreshing and cool. This is not something I notice too often in other manga. So I think the artists continue to do a great job marrying fashion into the story and plot. They're not just telling you, but showing you. As to identity, Ryo has some new situations where he/they are unsure how to present themselves. One hurdle jumped, brings more to get over. One in particular brings up the question of sexual identity. One particular set of circumstances brought forth the age old argument about whether men and women can be just friends without either even quietly crushing on the other. As a woman who is almost 40, it's so infuriating. Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed this.

This was so sweet and cute. It may be my lighting but the flatness of the art style made it hard to distinguish features. I didn't realize we weren't dealing with humans at first. This is a cozy children's fantasy. Love the glossary of yea dragons at the end.

I still don't quite get the title. There were a few examples of it in he book but it still feels like a metaphor shoehorned into fitting. Anyway, I enjoyed this. Instead of a warning, this remix makes it a triumph of love. This is truly romantic. Also Benvolio and Mercutio are the type of friends we all deserve. This remix follows the original pretty faithfully. To the point I felt we could've done without some plot points. Particularly the confrontation with Paris towards the end. It reminds me of Self-Made Boys in this aspect. 

Back at it. I'm hooked again on this new storyline. Cutter is unhinged and I love it. But this is only the beginning. We've caught up with what Erika has been up to the past year and how she's surviving. Looking forward to seeing how Erika does her thing with no help and Cutter after her.

I was confused for a chunk of this but so was everyone in the book, lol. It was interesting exploring other characters perspectives in the interlude's. I also, as usual, enjoyed the folklore and mythology figures included. 

I found myself a bit confused in several parts. There's a big time jump from the previous volume that is not clear at first. The author says you can read them back to back, you can but I think reading in chronological order with the other series in this Youniverse would be better. That being said the art and story continues ot be good. This volumes storyline was a bit slower but more unique to me. And the fight scenes are better drawn (or panel order is better), so you can follow their movements better than in the last one.
