![]() This volume was even better than the first in my eyes. ![]() Despite some problems with the inconsistent slang between chapters (whether it's Arashi's British accent or something like "can't even" or "bon-bon"), the insensitive treatment of George's bisexuality (is it just me, or does calling it "gender-blindness" seem off? Also, Arashi saying it was nothing to be proud of made me shake my head oh, homophobic mainstream culture of the aughts), and George and Yukari's toxic relationship with a lot of push and pull, I find myself really liking this series. Also, I wish the support cast was more relevant to the narrative due to how charismatic they are.moreĭespite some problems with the inconsistent slang between chapters (whether it's Arashi's British accent or something like "can't even" or "bon-bon"), the insensitive treatment of George's bisexuality (is it just me, or does calling it "gender-blindness" seem off?

I know she’s young so it is believable how she acts but I don’t like it. The codependency and rudeness of it all bothers me. Because I’m supposed(?)to root for them but they suck as a couple. When it comes to her relationship with George, I found it to be very uncomfortable. Like following Caroline trying to figure out who she is and what she wants along with how to navigate through the real world. Also, I wish the s Well, as coming of age story, Parakiss brings interesting aspects to the table. Well, as coming of age story, Parakiss brings interesting aspects to the table. It's time for the next step when I get back to this series! And most of you probably know what I mean by that. It may "burn out" a bit at points (like the anime did towards the middle), but this relationship drama and Yukari taking the reins is keeping me hooked. Not only are the 4th wall pokes still here (I thought they would be gone after the first volume, so I didn't mention them despite thinking they were hilarious), but the content is getting all the more interesting. This was another entertaining volume from Yazawa. With not as much pressure on her life, maybe she'll get some more jobs out in the big bad world of modeling? After an argument with her mom in the middle of the volume, she decides to put her studies on an indefinite hiatus and run away from home.

His personality is terrible and he just seems like an overall awful person, and, ignoring the insta-love aspect of this series, I don't understand the appeal at all. He's an ass to Yukari and he doesn't actually seem interested her at all. I actually really like Yukari, even if her way of becoming more independent has led her from an overbearing mother to a shitty "boyfriend." I enjoy a lot of the characters, especially Isabella and Miwako.
