Of course it's great! There were a few areas where the plot got...kinda heavy handed I guess (the arc with the creepy vampire doctor guy was a bit off putting somehow) but I thought it was a great follow up to the original series. This one certainly had me crying more, though. More than anything, the author's set it up to make for a really interesting 3rd season, though I don't know if I'll still be interested 40 volumes from whenever they start releasing it, and who knows when that'll be? But I really do want to see how the story ends!

I'll begrudgingly give this a 3/10 because it didn't make me want to stab my eyes out in anger. Buuuuut, can't say I liked it all that much. The MC was an asshole; yeah he wasn't as bad in the end, but he was so awful in the beginning her falling for him never actually made sense. And the girl was a typical heroine- honestly, nothing about her personality had me particularly wanting to cheer for her or support her, despite her being the MC. And, of course, there's the problem with this series lasting more than 20 chapters; the last 70 chapters or so (basically after they started dating) showed so little plot development I felt like I was wasting away reading it. If it weren't for my stubborn desire to finish the mangas I start, I would have dropped this SO long ago! Sadly though, it's still this author's best work. Only 1 rape scene, after all. Wait, scratch that- 2. One hand is still enough to count them all so still a record.

Love it! This author has a way of drawing ugly pouty expressions on her characters, but that somehow makes them more endearing :). Not my favorite baseball manga, but it's still a great story
