This was a good follow up to the first volume, but I found some of the conversations tedious. I still enjoy the My Fair Lady premise, where a super socialite trains a geek to become a normie. We don’t know much about Hinami’s motivations yet, however. Why does she do this? What does she get out of training Tomozaki? Isn’t training Tomozaki a waste of time? I fear we’ll be waiting a long while before getting an answer to those questions. If she does indeed fall in love with Tomozaki, or is already there, Yuki Yaku is saving that bit for a dramatic reveal somewhere further down the line.

In the meantime, Tomozaki’s transformation is fascinating to read. I just wish this volume wasn’t mired in so much slice-of-life dialogue.
