After Hours, Vol. 2

The second volume adds a lot more character development to go with the good parts of the first volume. Definitely a series worth following for yuri fans. There's some imperfections and history lurking and its handled in a not overly dramatic way. Fairly reallistic, the art is still interesting,and now, so are the characters.

The 2 start to drift apart due to miscommunication. The idea comes up for a massive rave. Now, they have to convince the rest of the group. Finally, at the end, the 2 say how they really feel, and there is a very tastefully done love scene. Good dialogue throughout. Now time for the party!

I didn't care for the second volume of after hours. It was okay but not great. The writing isn't as good, but the art is still appealing. Overall, I think the first volume is better.

I loved this series, extremely good.

thank you

Picked up the first volume at a bookstore and couldnt wait for the second volume. The story line is great and hope to see more volumes released

Super cute. A nice read.

This story is just so sweet. I also love the art.

This volume managed to be better than the first and I'm still amazed at the talent of the author.In Volume 2 Kei and Emi are kind of living together and working on a project (a rave).However, Emi still hasn't told Kei about her boyfriend or the apartment she shares with him (although she hasn't see him). With the rent date coming, Emi asks a friend to hand over her monthly payment to her boyfriend.Meanwhile Emi and Kei make plans and sign contracts with the people and companies needed to provide to the event.Kei finds out about Emi's situation, but doesn't confront her. She becomes distant, but in this volume the author reveals Kei's thoughts and we realize that she nurtures feelings for Emi.Emi is forced (in a way) to face her problems and past because of the fear of losing Kei and her own guilt. She reaches her the ex and talks to him, then she confesses everything to Kei. The two argue, but the interesting is that (and this should be stressed that many few manga especially lesbians develop in this way) the two discuss the subject as the adults who they are and solve the problem, confessing their feelings and desires for each other.And as a bonus we have some slightly sexy and romantic pages with the characters making up.In short, the story is solid, fluid, very well built and thought out. Secondary characters (friends of Kei and Emi) know about the relationship and aren't shocked or anything like that (something very common in lesbian manga), they advise the characters in some situations involving the relationship of the two. The story doesn't only revolve around the romance, despite being the central focus and in every detail Emi is there to proclaim her feelings for Kei. There is a whole story that isn't boringly told, about the new world Emi is treading on, about her interest in making music, about her professional future, and so on.Anyway ... I need Volume 3 and I really want this to have more volumes. I really want to see Kei and Emi's relationship develop and Emi's pursuit of her future career.

Süßer yuri Manga wie vielleicht viele andere auch. Was ihn aus der Masse abhebt ist die interessante Beschreibung der Clubszene und ihrer Mechanismen im Hintergrund. Als yuri affinen Ex-DJ hat mich der Titel gepackt und nicht mehr losgelassen. Weiter so, hoffentlich!

Still loving the art. The story seemed a little choppy to me in this volume, but it gets there. Looking forward to the big finish in volume three.3.5 stars

Came in well protected, the book itself is clean, feels fresh and the text is well worded and clear.
