A big improvement over Volume 1 as the pacing is much better and the characters are far more enjoyable. What stuck with me the most about this game is it had some good twists and towards the end of the game you could see actual conflicts starting up. Haseo is actually a good character in this one, having developed from being the unbearable twerp he was in Volume 1, and even the combat itself has improved. Good game overall, with just a bit of filler holding it back for me.
