This was very cute and funny. Love the plot and art this was just as good as the first volume as well.

This is a fantastic series that deserves more attention. The author has put so much detail into developing not just the main characters, but the various worlds and cultures explored. The journey Marko takes throughout the galaxy is filled with humor, heartbreak, and important questions of morality. I love it.

He disfrutado del tomo 2 de Correspondencia desde el fin del universo incluso más que del primero, y es que es una delicia que se disfruta leyendo en cualquier momento.

La historia de Marco continúa, teniendo que encontrar al monstruo que le robó el corazón cuando intentaba escapar en el tomo anterior. Además, en este tomo, encontramos planetas nuevos con alienígenas de lo más variopintos. Es algo que estoy valorando mucho en este manga, la capacidad de Menota de inventarse diferentes planetas (ya sean los que existen en la historia o los que van creando los personajes) y la imaginación para describir tantos tipos diferentes de alienígenas junto con sus costumbres. Me está pareciendo muy divertido e interesante. También conocemos más cosas del pasado de varios personajes, como al hermano de Marco y la vida que ha tenido Nanagi antes de ser reclutado para crear planetas.

Como siempre destacar la relación de familia que se va creando entre los personajes, sobre todo la de Marco, Resol y Mawu, me encanta ver como se cuidan entre todos y aumenta la confianza. Y el dibujo de Menota.

Estoy disfrutando mucho de esta serie y espero que más gente le de una oportunidad, te deja el corazón calentito, sobre todo si os gusta el trope Found-family.

'Correspondence from the End of the Universe' is okay this time around, but feels a little unfocused to me. I enjoy the whimsical planets to a point, but the two big threads in this volume are the main character's missing heart (literal) and also how much he wants to get back home to Earth and his abandoned fiancee - which seems like it should go well together, but the two storylines don't seem to be connected to each other, which feels like a missed opportunity. It makes me less interested in continuing; we'll see how I feel once the next volume rolls around.

Another interesting volume of lots of different worlds and creatures and peoples. I personally loved the first volume more than this one but it was pretty good too. It just amazes me how many new ideas the author comes up with and the details that go into the stories sometimes.

4.5/5.The second volume is even better and expands on the world building and also the art is very good, the new alien races introduced some of them are interesting. The story is also continuing to evolve and i will definitely keep reading. The author of the series needs more attention honestly.

3.75 stars. The translation/writing flowed a lot better for me in this volume compared to the first, and there were some really lovely moments and cool concepts. I’m really enjoying the extra content and world-building at the end of the volumes too! I will continue on with this series, though I’m not in a big rush.
