Volume 2 of 7th Time Loop continues to be a delightful, lighthearted read that offers just the right balance of comfort and charm. The story remains full of fluffy moments, and Rishe's quirky personality shines through as she navigates yet another cycle of her time-looped life, this time married to Arnold, her self-proclaimed worst enemy. While the series maintains its playful tone, there's an intriguing layer to their relationship that makes it hard to put down. 

However, there are moments where the narrative feels a bit wordy. Some sections tend to lean more on telling rather than showing, which can momentarily slow the pacing. Thankfully, this doesn't detract too much from the overall experience. The focus on the characters and their interactions still keeps me engaged, and I find myself excited to see what Rishe will do next in her efforts to change her fate. 

Arnold remains somewhat of a mystery, and I’m eager to learn more about him in future volumes. His development is slow, but it feels like there's more beneath the surface that will be revealed in time. Overall, this volume keeps the momentum going, and I’m looking forward to continuing the series to see where it takes Rishe and Arnold next. If you're looking for a fun, feel-good manga that doesn't require too much emotional investment but still delivers some intriguing character growth, this one fits the bill.
