Synopsis

Spoiler InsideSelectShow
At last, Koyume finally gets her first series serialized. However, Kaoruko is still having trouble coming up with a name for her series. She tags along with Koyume to learn from her. However, the questions from her friends asking about her love life overwhelmed Kaoruko.

One day, Tsubasa is tired from staying up all night working on her manuscripts. Miharu, their teacher eventually catches her sleeping. After receiving a warning, Tsubasa tries to stay awake by drawing in her notebook. Eventually, Miharu finds out that Tsubasa is Winged V, who worked on the manga series that she enjoys.

Eventually, Kaoruko and her friends went to a cat café and spent some time having fun there. On their way home, Kaoruko discovers a stray cat that has a similar personality to her own. She finds out that she can’t keep a pet in the dorms. However, Ririka allows Kaoruko to keep it if it stays in Ririka’s room. Also, Kaoruko and her friends studied for exams, which Koyume ends up failing.

Rukki eventually receives a new computer since she wants to try out digital coloring. However, she has no idea how to set it up and use it. Kaoruko eventually helps her set things up and teach her how to draw on a graphics tablet. Ruki eventually creates a one-shot series romance story with computer terms thrown in.

Later on, a ghost-like girl appears, which freaks Kaoruko out. This girl happens to be Fura Suzu. She has a liking for Kaoruko because of how she reacts. After Suzu scares Kaoruko on several occasions, Kaoruko and her friends lock themselves in a room. However, Kaoruko finds out how lonely Suzu is since her roommate disappeared out of nowhere. She decides to become friends with her after realizing how pretty she is.

Lastly, after Koyume went shopping for clothes with Ruki, at a restaurant, she reveals that from her editor, she lacks love experience. From this, Ruki seems to know that Koyume seems to like Tsubasa a lot. Koyume becomes flustered because Tsubasa is a girl. However, Ruki reveals that Tsubasa receives confessions from other girls and suggests Koyume to go out with her. After receiving two amusement park tickets from Ririka, Koyume takes Tsubasa out on a date. Of course, Ririka, Kaoruko and Ruki followed them from behind to see how their date is going.

Also, in this volume:

  • Ruki had her book signing meeting, which she initially doesn’t want to do it first because of her pen name. She eventually does it thanks to Ririka doing her makeup and hair to make Ruki appear grown up. The signing turned out better than what Ruki expected.
  • Miharu, Mayu, and Ririka spend time at a bar reminiscing their time of making manga during high school. Mayu shares her anxieties as she believes that she is being a bit too hard on Kaoruko. Mayu fears that Kaoruko might give up because of this.
  • Tsubasa eventually comes down with a cold and eventually, Ruki catches it. Kaoruko and Koyume cares for them. However, Tsubasa won’t stay in bed, thus leading Suzu coming into their room to make them rest. Kaoruko eventually catches the cold, but oddly enough, Koyume doesn’t catch it.
  • Tsubasa decides to help out a volleyball team so she can come up with more material for her manga series. However, she ends up injuring herself on the day of the practice match against another school.
  • Kaoruko’s mother finally pays a visit and meets her daughter’s new friends. She also shows them the photos of Kaoruko from her childhood.

Thoughts

If you saw the anime, most of the stuff will be the same such as Ruki’s book signing, Miharu finding out Winged V’s identity, Koyume’s date with Tsubasa and Suzu’s first appearance. Of course, there are some differences. First is of course the cat café and how Kaoruko found Nyaosu.

Not so surprisingly, cats have a strong attraction for Kaoruko.

While it’s a shame that the anime didn’t show the cat café section, it’s cute how all the cats become attracted to Kaoruko. It’s obvious that cats seem to like her a lot. The funny thing is that Tsubasa doesn’t seem to like them. In fact, she is afraid of them. It’s obvious that a cat traumatized her after spilling a bottle of ink over her manuscripts. The funny thing is that she starts playing with them with cat toys shortly afterwards.

It’s obvious that Ruki is really bad at using technology.

As expected, Ruki trying to set up a computer in the manga is hilarious. While she used the computer tower as a chair, she also does one silly thing that she didn’t do in the anime. Yes, she used the tablet stylus, put it in ink and tried to color it on the screen. Obviously, that is not how you do It and she had to clean it immediately. Still, I find it funny how she created a manga series that throws out computer-related terms in the dialog.

Suzu surprisingly shows up wearing a nurse’s outfit.

Another scene that didn’t quite make it is Tsubasa catching a cold and getting all her friends sick, except for Koyume. I wonder why Koyume didn’t get sick. Maybe it’s because of her crush on Tsubasa and the power of love? Still, it’s nice to see Suzu show up in a nurse’s outfit and forcing Tsubasa and Ruki to rest. I guess her cold feeling from her being perceived as a ghost girl helped quite a bit.

As always, the second volume has a good number of Koyume and Tsubasa moments besides that date.

Of course, there is one big difference from the anime. Besides the scene where Miharu, Mayu and Ririka reunite with each other, there is Kaoruko’s mother’s visit. She doesn’t show up until the last episode. Instead of coming to pick Kaoruko up, she is there because she was in town for a wedding.  While she shared pictures from Kaoruko’s childhood and told them how her daughter got into drawing like in the anime, she also got to meet Koyume, Ruki and Tsubasa. She also shares what she learned about them from her daughter. One of the remarks I find funny Is that while Kaoruko’s mother thinks that Tsubasa looks good with short hair, but believes that longer hair looks better on her. Of course, Tsubasa wouldn’t like this for obvious reasons.

Overall, the second volume of Comic Girls is a very enjoyable read. Besides Koyume’s date, there are more moments with her and Tsubasa. If the first volume wasn’t enough, there is a lot more in the second volume, especially with that amusement park date. Lastly, Suzu is a nice addition to the story and as expected, her first appearance in the manga is just as enjoyable as the one in the anime.

    Makes me remembered how great the anime was. The adaptation was quite excellent.

      As always, the Comic Girls anime was one of the most enjoyable shows of 2018. While it’s sad that some scenes didn’t quite make it, at least it’s nice to enjoy them.
