Last volume, the story got weird. This volume? It gets weirder.
You can often get a quick joke out of how much therapy any given manga/anime character is going to need after whatever adventure they’re on concludes, but the wild dream logic of this series is practically asking for an intervention.
Senpai lost Sawada after the first volume, but he decides to rewrite the world into something else to bring her back, using a different story of his, entirely separate from the one that gives the series its title.
This is only the start of a wild ride that turns the entire world population into aspects of Senpai, each their own person, out hunting monsters that turn out to be hiding aspects of Sawada that can be exchanged to bring her back.
By the time a walking schoolhouse is introduced, I feel you might as well just go along with the ride, and so I did. Because, really, this is just doing its thing and what that turns into is anybody’s guess. If you like doppelgängers? Phew!
There are a lot of psychological aspects to all this - a mini-Sawada fairy arrives on the scene, but she’s not the only one, another of Senpai’s doubles is basically cooking the Sawada aspects. It’s bizarre and open to interpretation of all sorts.
That it maintains a coherent narrative at all is kind of amazing and it’s mercifully less, well, nude than volume one to boot. Although you’ll never convince me that the way Senpai on the cover here is holding that sword isn’t wholly deliberate.
This is ‘love it or hate it’ stuff, I think. If you’re down for the dream world of it all and the way it can easily veer off in some odd directions with no promise of a satisfying resolution, then it’s fine. That’s a big, big if, however.
I can say that I found it strange enough that I wanted to keep reading it and see where it was going next. It has very little depth, yet it also seems to have a bunch of things going on under the surface. But it implies its competence more than it reassures, truly.
3 stars - is this good? Shrug. Is it very readable and does it hold the attention? Yes, definitely. Whether that’s enough and whether its wonky logic is at all tolerable is definitely down to individual tastes.

This continues to be a “I don’t know if I like it or dislike it” series for me. 😅

An interesting sequel but not as entertaining as the first.
