She's My Knight #2
She's My Knight 2
Popular boy secretly falls for princely girl in this gleeful borderline-parody of high school shojo manga that fans demanded in print! Prepare for a wacky, tongue-in-cheek shojo comedy like Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun!
Haruma Ichinose, 17, has been popular since he was born. So popular, in fact, that he figured no one could even come close...until he met Yuki Mogami. She's tall, cool, collected, and totally makes him crazy. He may just be in love...but can he deal with falling for someone even more dashing than himself?

When you like each other but the other one is too naive and the other one is tsundere. 🥰
Now what will happen? Well, it has cute manga panels with blushing overload that can surely make you giggle.
Too shy to admit!

it was cute, but it just... ended...? very suddenly...? which i suppose is better then it being dragged out but its just. huh. what was the point of introducing the new boy if he wasnt going to matter. what was any of this for. it was like driving into a brick wall.

To be honest, I was kind of hoping they'd get together in this volume. I'm glad the MMC has accepted his feelings, but the FMC is way too oblivious!

Summary:
Haruma Ichinose has gotten pretty used to being the cool and popular guy. So, you can imagine his frustration when he starts getting outdone by another student. What's work – Yuki Mogami is a girl, and she's much more knightly than he will ever be.
As with many tales, the lines between love and hate are far too close. What started as a frustrated obsession quickly becomes something more, all while Ichinose comes to a horrible realization – he's the heroine to Yuki's knight!
Review:
She's My Knight Vol. 2 was and wasn't everything I expected from this sequel. Let me break that down into two parts. First, it absolutely continues the cutesy and funny romantic plot introduced in the last volume.
I love the series' inverted tropes and playful nature, so it was a delight to see that carried forward in this volume. There's some added tension (new characters/competition, etc.) to help keep things moving forward.
What surprised me was how this volume ended. It actually made me check to confirm if the series was continuing. It felt very...series finale, if that makes sense. But there is going to be (at least) one more volume. That makes me very curious about how that is going to turn out...
Highlights:
Contemporary Romance
Manga – Shojo
Comedy
Lighthearted and sweet

Ichinose ends up kidnapped, befitting a shojo heroine, which means Mogami has to come to his rescue. Between rescues and shopping malls and beaches, you would think that Mogami might get the hint at some point, but if Phil Collins has taught us nothing, it’s that you can’t hurry love…
A short outing for our duo and an okay one. Mildly amusing at several points, but lacking the vicious skewering of tropes that punctuated the first volume. I mean, skewering still happens, but it’s more of a gentle poke for the most part.
The aforementioned kidnapping kind of loses steam when Ichinose bonds with his captor as she, too, knows the harsh sting of a clueless Mogami. The way the latter absolutely collapses this entire scheme is pretty good, I must admit.
Shopping is Ichinose seeing Mogami in casual clothing for the first time and trying repeatedly to tell her she’s cute, interrupted by their friends on all fronts. I do like the constantly flustered Ichinose getting his chance thanks to Mogami, which admittedly is bang on for a lot of shojo stories.
The beach is probably the best chapter because it ends up with Ichinose being the one to lose his swimsuit and Mogami rescuing him with her hoodie, which was a great inversion of that trope. Even as he tries to avoid events that could keep them from the fireworks, the poor guy can’t catch a break.
Once we hit the last section a new character is introduced who I don’t especially like, so that’s going to be a thing, although it does lead to a pretty funny sports commentary bit, which I always enjoy.
The two best jokes are peripheral to the main stories entirely - in the first, the Princess carry gets brilliantly twisted when Ichinose sprains his ankle, for one perfect visual. The second involves the friends of our two leads, the dull pretty boy who everybody thinks is a girl and the girl who likes him.
That joke has an almost unfair amount of mileage in it - the scene where the girl is at the beach, fan servicing to the hilt (pigtails and all!) and the guy keeps getting hit on while being completely covered up is absolutely perfect. It’s one of the sharpest twists of stereotypes I think the series has done.
Actually, on reflection those two steal the show completely because there’s also a really funny and very ecchi (in intent, at least) commentary on the priorities of food versus fashion. I was shocked at the conclusion drawn for a way to capture a guy’s attention…
Hmm, I guess there were more good jokes than I expected. Nothing quite lands as spectacularly as anything from the first volume, but the continued trials of Ichinose are certainly worth following. Sometimes it’s good to talk out what you enjoyed because it gives you an appreciation for the whole. Reviews, amirite?
3 stars, possibly more if you can spot more tropes in here than I could, which would likely increase your joke density. Still, it’s definitely a worthwhile read for anybody, even at a woefully scant 126 pages. There’s definitely life still left in this premise to keep moving forward with.

What was that time skip?? They finally admit their feelings, go on one date and suddenly they're 20 and out of school? What?

Kidnapping, the beach, and fireworks! Ichinose has been trying to get up the nerve to confess forever, and he’s finally going to do it…maybe. Her brother and Ichinose battling it out over who knew Mogami the best was pretty cute…until their common enemy arrived and triggered a ceasefire.
He gets his chance after their date, and the two officially start dating…though Mogami is firmly in the prince position and probably will be for life😅
There’s a time skip that wasn’t really necessary at the end, but it shows they’re still together 3 years later. I think it could have been longer if they were going to put in an epilogue, since it was a tad rushed.
A cute series, short and sweet.

Momiji-kun joins the fun with Ichinose and Yuki. He's freaking adorable and he looks like a girl. Of course, Ichinose is jealous that he can't express his feelings for Yuki and Yuki is oblivious to Ichinose's intentions. Will they become lovers or not?

I continue to love this series with the second manga. They played on the trope less in this book, but she was still the dashing prince charming to his blushing heroine, which I still adore. Very cute series, excited to read the third one (even though it says this is the last?). Much love!

Slow romance, and the time frames are confusing.

9/24 2.5 Stars. A sweet if odd romance.

A good enough story to read the next last volume but it isn’t something I would find myself rereading more than once.

Loved it really good, Manga

Still very silly and cute, although I miss the sheer level of shojo manga shenanigans from the first volume. Could have been sillier!

Continues to be very cute! But the ending snuck up on me! 😭 I think there’s a third volume that’s digital-only for some reason, so I’ll have to check that out…
