Just a Girl 2
May 31, 2007
I got the first volume of this for two bucks, but I had to order this one off the internet as I could only find it for full price around Chicago (I paid 4 for the second volume). It was worth the extra internet inconvenience though, because it is really different. Honest.
In this volume, the two girls have their friendship tested when they start dating… boys. The main girl also has to go through an extra trial when her chosen boy wants to go study in America and persue his dreams instead of love. Oh! The old-style shoujo angst! I love it.
You’re not going to find a really deep, meaningful resolution to the series here, but the characters continue to get depth, and the story continues to be fairly engrossing. I can’t say too much more than that, because, really, it is a slice-of-life series and there’s not too much to critique about it because not too much happens, but I still like it a lot. It’s quite wonderful, and definitely worth tracking down both volumes. I got my whole… six bucks out of the series.
