This series just really isn't for me... I thought I'd give it another try after finding the first volume lacklustre but I enjoyed this even less, unfortunately. My biggest issue is just that none of the dialogue or pages flow properly, making everything feel disjointed. Reading even singular conversations becomes difficult because I get lost easily within a few pages, because it's too fast paced. I really don't like any of the characters, honestly I think Nanase has far times more chemistry with Tendou's sister, I am not invested in their relationship at all. I wish I liked this because I adore the title design but yeah... all elements of this fall flat for me.
