The Wallflower, Vol. 02

Oh jeez, this series has gotten off to a great start and continues in this book with a pretty hilarious plot that the author makes funny with her sense of humor. If you liked Vol 1, you'll like this.

Volume 2 of this unusual series has a few holiday theme stories along with a paranormal theme New Year where Sunako gets possessed and many high jinks ensue.

I'm still finding the manga interesting. This volume left off on more of a cliffhanger when a mystery develops at the hot spring the boys and Sunako are vacationing at (against Sunako's will, of course) in the last couple pages.

I'm noticing more and more that this manga-ka is particularly gifted at drawing eyes, they are always captivating. That is, when she decides to draw faces at all. Many panels feature completely blank faced characters which is a little disconcerting. The switching between vivid detail and the utter void is kind of unsettling but I think it lends a bit of show more atmosphere. So far all the stories have been imaginative and surprising and I look forward to continuing with more volumes. show less

Enjoyed it even more than the first volume!
