Is it wrong to think Kyo is adorable?

Este tomo estuvo muy divertido.
Las locuras de Frei son únicas, la actitud de Alice con el es divertida. El pasado de Kyou es misterioso. Mayura es enigmática.
Cada vez vamos viendo como las palabras tienen fuerza cuando los sentimientos te dirigen.

Thankfully, I found this one to be better than the last. There are still some parts where I honestly question why it was even in there in the first place.
It is a fantasy/contemporary series (at the time it was published, anyways) so there are some crazy magical bits included. I found whenever there was action, it was wildly and confusingly done because of the magic and paneling.
I did like some parts of it though. The scene when they are writing notes to each other in a notebook felt well done and natural, which is surprising because a lot of Watase’s works don’t feel natural.

AY ME ENCANTAAA ME ENCANTAAA😍😍😍ME ENAMORE DE KYO Y DE FREI💗💗Y este tomo me hizo reír mucho más que el primero<33

in which we discover that alice's self-proclaimed fiance is a lotis master named frey and the gang's plan to save mayura is waylaid by oishi, who, after failing to steal kyo for herself, tells everyone at school the terrible thing kyo did once. and she's evil. and the lotis gang has to go into her heart and rescue her from mara. and then they still need to get mayura. and kyo drops a startling confession on alice.
the fantasy aspect of this one almost totally lost me. i don't understand how they journey into people's hearts, or what the rules are for using the lotis words...or why frey has no trouble using the lotis words at first but later he's not supposed to because he's still in training? everything seems to be happening at complete random.
BUT the goofy little floating bunny makes me laugh. and kyo and alice seem to be workin something out.

Wakamiya Kyou ternyata juga Lotis Master. Lotis Word pertamanya adalah "Kara" yang berarti perlindungan.
Di volume sebelumnya, Alice dan Wakamiya bisa masuk ke inner heart-nya Matsujou yang dimakan oleh kegelapan Mara dengan kata kunci "Na Sadaru Lotis Ran". Alice akhirnya berani mengatakan pada Matsujou bahwa dia tak bisa bersama lelaki itu karena menyukai Kyou.
Setelah berhasil keluar dan mengusir kegelapan dari hati Matsujou, muncul seorang Lotis Master misterius dari Norwegia bernama Frey yang langsung menyatakan cintanya pada Alice *tepok jidat. Ibu Alice salah paham pada kedekatan putrinya dengan Frey. Ia mengira Alice tak peduli pada hilangnya Mayura dan malah main-main dengan lelaki. Hati ibu Alice pun dikuasai kegelapan mara dan ia mengatakan lebih baik Alice saja yang menghilang menggantikan Mayura.
Frey lalu menunjukkan cara canggih dalam menggunakan Lotis Master untuk mengusir kegelapan dari inner heart orang. Tapi ibu Alice baru benar-benar terbebas dari kegelapan setelah mendengarkan kata-kata Alice yang bertekad akan membawa pulang Mayura. Setelah itu Frey akhirnya tinggal di rumah Kyou dan ikut menjadi pelayan di restoran milik paman Kyou.
Di sekolah, tersebar rumor bahwa Wakamiya pernah membunuh orang saat SMP. Yang menyebarkan adalah Oishi, gadis pembully Alice yang ditolak Wakamiya dengan tegas. Benarkah rumor itu? Alice tak berani memastikannya.
Child abuse menjadi isu yang diangkat secara serius di sini. Ayah Wakamiya adalah seorang pemabuk yang suka menyiksa istrinya. Karena itulah Wakamiya bakal marah besar jika melihat ada perempuan yang disakiti. Namun, jika marah dia bakal kelepasan dan bakal menghajar orang yang cari gara-gara dengannya sampai orang itu benar-benar babak belur. Di saat itu Wakamiya akan dihantui oleh bayangan kekerasan yang dilakukan ayahnya dan menganggap dirinya tak beda dengan sang ayah.
Oishi yang hatinya dikuasai kegelapan pun kurang lebih sama. Kedua orangtuanya selalu bertengkar sehingga ia merasa hampa. Wakamiya menyentuh hatinya dengan mengambilkan koknya yang tersangkut di pohon. Karena itu ia jadi sangat terluka setelah Wakamiya menolaknya.
Ketika Frey berusaha melawan Oishi dengan berbagai jurus serangan, hanya Alice yang tahu bahwa bukan itu cara yang tepat untuk menyelamatkan Oishi. Yang dibutuhkan Oishi adalah kasih sayang.
Terakhir aku mau mengomentari soal karakter Frey. Secara visual, desainnya memang menarik. Tapi secara sifat? Ya ampun, dulu waktu masih muda aku menganggap adegan Frey yang suka nyosor itu lucu. Tapi sekarang enggak lagi. Apalagi dia diceritakan sudah mencium bibinya Wakamiya juga sampai suaminya jadi geram (karena sang istri malah senang). What a cheap joke, Watase Yuu.

The story continues and gets a little bit darker as it goes. It's not yet Ayashi no Ceres dark, but knowing Watase-sensei it could very well go that way.
First the bad... well and kind of gross. I really hate the 'molestation is funny until it's not' moments complete with a bit of gay panic. Watase-sensei is not the only one who did this and does this but it makes me B| every time. It also sort of makes me wonder what her contemporary manga or like.
That aside, I do like the continuation, though slightly hesitant about where it's going because well it is a bit too close to what we've seen before. Still the concept is interesting and I enjoy how it's not just about defeating the bad guys but 'purifying the darkness'. And that it doesn't really change the nature of someone's character but makes them a little bit better? Though they are still as much of a jerkass as they were (so it seems). I also feel that this speaks to high schoolers and in general about standing up for yourself and others but I'm not sure I like how 'courage' is always applied.

Now we start getting in to the meat of the story. Lotus master Frei is finally talking about what it means to master the words, and how to fight for a heart which has been consumed by the darkness. The problem? Mayumi is really lost. She doesn't seem interested in coming back (I wonder what the reason for that is...was she not happy in her 'perfect' life? hmm...)
And of course Alice is still having issues with boys, only now instead of wishing to be noticed by one boy in particular, Frei seems to think she ought to marry him. Can I say I really like Frei right now? He's so over the top, he's just fun. I Love people who live in a way which is true to themselves.
Loving every second of this story so far. Can't wait for more!

This second volume of Yuu Watase's Shojo Manga is as enjoyable as the first. In this volume things become even MORE complicated for Alice. Her sister disappears, held in place by Mara, the darkness that everybody has in their hearts. A new character, Frei,a fellow Lotis Master appears and claims Alice as his fiancee! Also Kyo, Alice's sister's boyfriend, falls victim to slanderous gossip. He is also wondering who his true love really is. Excellent Manga! Excellent Shojo!

This second volume is really good! We go more into the back story of Kyo! He had a rough family life when he was little, this volume explores that. We also meet a new playboy character named Frey! He's a funny character! I really like how this series explores the darkness in people's hearts! I recommend this series if you like fantasy romance.

This story gets more complex as we learn more about the magic system and the characters themselves. There was a lot of personal growth and development in Kyo especially. The more it goes on, the better it's gonna get. Overall, I just can't wait to keep reading.
THIS TIME MAYURA IS THE ONE BEHIND THE MARA

I'm so glad I'm rereading! In this book we get to know Frey who had a last second appearance in the first book and is another lotis master. We learn there are both light and dark words and more drama ensues!

I’m liking this series so far. I liked learning more about Kyo. My only complaint is that Frey’s harassment is always brushed off even when Alice or Kyo get violent to get him to stop. Maybe they need to go into his inner heart and find out why he’s such an ass.

Este tomo estuvo genial, divertido, cruel, misterioso y los personajes me están enamorando.
¿Para qué leer este tomo?
1) Para reir como loco de las ocurrencias de Frei
2) Para conocer la oscuridad que habita en los corazones.
3) Para saber el poder de las palabras que decimos.

I liked this one more than the first one, since the plot is finally getting into its stride. I like Kyo, maybe too much. The fighting inner darkness with words of light magic is really cool now and I was way more invested this time.

This is a very exciting manga. I love the characters and the plot.

still a lot of WTF am I reading. one more volume and I'll DNF if not into it.

Aw man, now I have to wait for the next manga from the library... hopefully it won't take too long.

I can't put it down!! Great and suspenseful, enjoyable artwork and characters to love!

This was one of my first mangas I read as a child, and they were adorable and a really cute series!
July 4, 2021
The worldbuilding with the words of power and the inner heart is interesting, and I like Kyo's character development. While Frei is occasionally funny, I find his attentions toward women annoying.
November 18, 2021
I should do a deep-dive review of this series…someday (when I’m not being lazy).
January 27, 2022
I think it's getting better but at the same time it isn't.... Kind of... The power and how it works it's weird but oh well
February 6, 2022
So much fun.

Easy, quick, road-trip read. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book.

Nos revelan varias cosas importantes en este tomito y la historia va agarrando forma y más sentido. Me encanta lo retro que son los husbandos, definitivamente algunos tropos nunca pasarán de moda.
May 29, 2022
El nuevo rumbo que va tomando la historia me está gustando mucho
Frei y Kyo me encantan 🥰
