I was really, really happy with this second volume. Like I said, I liked the first volume, but there’s so many bad directions a gender swap series like this could take, and I did just get burned by Day of Revolution. But volume two is really shaping the series up into something interesting.
The main character begins to be buddy-buddy with a seemingly stupid playboy at school, who is mad at her for stealing his girlfriend… which she didn’t actually do. The stupid playboy turns out to be a financial genius, and runs several business and stock deals from school, which is why his grades are bad. His father fronts everything for him, and noone but a couple people know any better. The main character decides that she wants to be exactly like him, and realizes she can do this regardless of gender, so she’s pretty pumped to be learning from him. Several choice scenes go into this throughout the course of the volume.
It’s not automatically pairing her off with this guy, though. The girl she’d been hitting on at he old school turns back up at this school. She’s not forcing herself on the main character or anything, but she does want to be with her. She’s also a TOTAL PSYCHOPATH who beats the shit out of people who antagonize her. She’s turning out to be a really level, calm, and persistent character.
The main character cries a lot now when he sees her old best friend, the one she grew up with, all over the news for being a classic piano player. In my heart of hearts, I want that to be the pair that works out. It’s not gotten any special attention yet, but… I want that more than anything.
This one is definitely one to watch. It’s probably my favorite Netcomics series along with Dokebi Bride now, and it’s working out really well so far. I can’t wait for volume 3 to come out. Actually, I may suck it up and read it on their website first, THAT’S how much I like this series.
