Love in Focus, Vol. 2

Today’s post is on Love in Focus, Vol. 2 by Yoko Nogiri. It is 176 pages long and is published by Kodansha Comics. The cover has the two male leads, Kie and Misuru, on it looking at the reader. As it is the second volume you need to have read the first volume to understand the story. There is no foul language, no sex, and no violence in this volume. The intended reader is someone who likes coming of age stories and high school romances. The story is mostly told from the third person close of Mako but some added in scenes from other characters for plot development. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- ALL MIXED UP

After earning Mitsuru's trust, Mako's beginning to get the hang of living in Lens Inn with the high school photo club. Behind the scenes, however, Mako's best friend Kei warns Mitsuru to keep his distance. This ominous message exposes Kei's feelings for Mako, but Mitsuru is the only one who knows! Later, when the club members all go on a field trip together, a sudden downpour strands Mako and Mitsuru. What will the two do?!

Review- Mako is trying to sort her feelings and now she has to deal with the fact that two boys both like her. The boys themselves are trying to make themselves known to her and each other. It is very sweet, this story of first love. I like all the characters, Mako who has only lived in her camera before now, Kei who wants more from life and Mako, and Mitsuru who is learning to want something for the first time himself. They are so very earnest and sincere. With only one volume left, I’m not sure how anything is going to turn out but I will find out soon enough. 

I give this volume a Four out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I bought this manga with my own money.
