Fujoshi Rumi, Vol. 2 Paperback – April 8, 2008

This second chapter of Fujoshi Rumi continues with the same sweet and irreverent spirit as the first. Poor Abe still tries to get the attention of Rumi, who's too lost in her yaoi fantasies to really notice. There's plenty of relationship drama and humor. The character of Matsun is a little more developed and easier to identify with here. Just great work all around. I laughed out loud (in a resturant, how embarressing) while reading.

This manga received good reviews so I thought I'd give it a try. It's a cute story about a female otaku who manages to convince herself that the boy who loves her is gay. Add to that the guy's pretty-boy best friend and a second female otaku with big breasts, and you have a fairly typical high school comedy. There are some cool fujoshi-centric scenes like a a trip to 'Comic Market' and a fujoshi store, but otherwise it's ordinary. There's very little chemistry between the characters, and I never understood why anybody loved anybody else. Not very convincing romances or personalities in other words. I'd borrow this book but not buy it.

Came in fine. I don't like the story. Look up what Fujoshi means, it's a weird thing. And creepy.
