I think so. Reading vol. 1 first made it even better of course.

volume two!
i'm still not wild about the art, and i liked this story slightly less than the first volume, but that doesn't mean i'm not counting down the days until the third one comes out. i am writing this review before part 3 pubs, but it will likely be posted after release date, so i have just blown your mind with time-confusion.
and yes - this is the volume where the artist changes halfway through. it's not wildly different, and i didn't even notice it at first, since i was reading it fo ...more
These don’t have a super clear plot thread running through them but I’m still really, really enjoying them! Can’t wait to keep on with the series.

I enjoyed volume 1 a lot but wasn't sure if I was one hundred percent sold on this series until reading this volume. You can tell the creator really hit his groove a bit more here and the characters feel more fleshed-out, plus McGraw has to be one of the cutest love interests I've ever seen and his antics with Susan constantly cracked me up. ...more

It took me a bit of time to connect to this much-acclaimed series in Volume 1 for some reason—it was fun, it was manic, but not particularly engaging to me—nothing much happens. In volume two I seem to have gotten to know the characters, they seem familiar to me, and I now I like it. Maybe because this has been a bit of a rough week or so, it is just what I needed. And what would that thing that I need be, you might well ask? Answer: A little light-hearted, sweet, silly, warm, read. Sometimes ha

I think this might just be my favourite comic series EVER. Somehow this volume was even better than the first and I am so desperate to read more! I love how each chapter is like a mini story, so the next time I go to the comic book store I might have to buy whatever individual issues they have because I NEED MORE ESTHER, SUSAN AND DAISY. Also, fun fact, Daisy is literally me. We're so similar it's insane.

The delightful saga of first year uni students Susan, Esther and Daisy continues with our heroes shopping for budget dresses to the ball, fighting the evil Shaw family in Susan’s hometown of Northampton, and Daisy helping Esther revise for her winter exams. Meanwhile, Susan and McGraw give in to their badly-hidden desire for one another while poor Ed Gemmell sees his unrequited love for Esther continue unrequited as his Gothic beloved falls for a blandly hot invigilator. And why’s Daisy suddenly

I find this hard to explain other than College life. Those were good days mostly. I guess I'm back at university and it's still good days. Homework does suck though.
The story continues with the 3 college girls dating and going through life. I love the art and the kinetic nature of the illustrations. There is much angst and finding oneself in this story.

This series is so chill. I love it.
I was a little worried this volume wouldn’t live up to how much I loved the first one but this one was even BETTER. I just relate so much to these girls, I feel like I’m reading what I went through during college right on the page and it’s incredibly satisfying and makes me feel less alone. Any graphic novel that can do that is an absolute winner in my books! It’s just such a simple, fun and relatable story that just makes me feel good. This is a definite must read if you’re looking for a feel g

Giant Days vol 2 was less entertaining for me than Vol 1. I am also a bigger fan of the drawing style in the first volume, I don’t know why ti slightly changed but I couldn’t help but notice it! The plot is still not going anywhere. It just seems like glimpses to every day life which is not bad but I want more. I want sauce and drama xD

I really enjoyed following Esther, Susan and Daisy once again. Each character is very lovable.
The reason I didn't give this 5 stars is because I enjoyed the first volume more than this one. I'm not sure why, maybe because I wasn't expecting anything in volume one.
I felt this volume was a little all over the place, but it was still fun!
I will definitely be picking up the third volume. ...more

This comic is definitely becoming one of my favorites, it's just such a refreshing break from all the other intense comic series that I read. Cannot wait for the next volume!!

Is it just me or the art style is slightly different from the previous volume?

I’m enjoying the series but I think it’s cause I get them included in my comiXology subscription. Daisy is still my favorite by far.
Volume 2 of Giant Days is almost as wonderful as the first. I love the charm of the setting and the characters, who always have me laughing out loud. I think I may also be a little bit in love with Esther, but don't tell the missus; she's already getting tired of me quoting the dialogue of this book at her! :-D
The only reason this isn't quite getting five stars is because I really missed the wonderful art of Lissa Treiman in the second half of this volume. Her replacement Max Savin's stuff is re ...more

Super cute and funny. Definitely laugh out loud material. For some reason this Volume was lacking in plot though.
I enjoyed this volume even more than the first.
My hometown got a shout out too - woo!

A fun, irreverent book about some kids at university. This is just FUN in the best way.
Another super cute volume of this graphic novel and one I’m happy to end my year of reading on-especially given the winter vibe in this bind up. I adore these friends, their dynamic together, and the diversity in their stories. Can’t wait for more of them.
Confirmed. Esther is 100% my spirit animal.
Still digging this series. It appears that Allison is slowly expanding his cast. We seem to get a few new faces with each volume.
For some reason, it didn't quite dawn on me until now that this is the same John Allison who does Bad Machinery. GD is a little more reality-based than BM, but still displays the trademark Allisonian knack for pushing things juuuuust past the edge of reality. It's not full blown gonzo weird slapstick or anything, merely just one notch past plausible. He makes it look s ...more

Susan is an asshole. Esther is a flake. The other one is boring. (Don't remember her name and don't care enough to look.)
I think I might just not get this series. ...more

Really good
my prediction after reading the first volume was correct--i loved volume 2 a lot more now that i know the characters better. it's just fun to see them move through university, especially since i just finished my first year and i can see little parallels. still giving this like 3.8, maybe..i know that's really picky, but while it's fun to read and i love the characters and i'll definitely continue when the next volume comes out, it's nothing super extraordinary or incredible. it's fun and enjoyab

As funny and charming as the first volume, the characters make this series, and all of them are likable and relatable. The ensamble works great, and the dialogue is just top notch, with some hilarious jokes. Tbh, I'm really surprised at how much I'm enjoying all the arcs, wasn't expecting it.

If possible, this was even better than the first one. Susan, Esther and Daisy continue to be the epitome of the university experience and October cannot come soon enough for the next volume!
- mcgraw and susan are so cute.
- daisy is a trip and i love her very much. the friday night lights obsession was hilarious
