Goodreads

The second volume of I Wanna Be Your Girl delves a little deeper into the emotions and reasons behind the characters’ behaviors. Hime lets herself open up more to her new friends and continues to try to work out her feelings for Akira, who has recently become manager of the soccer team. With some new characters to meet and some history behind a few of the characters introduced in volume one, the reader gets a more robust feel for what is going on with the group of friends. This YA manga series is willing to address angst and confusion, but combines it with supportive characters so it never feels dark or overwhelming. A great recommendation for fans of romance or anyone navigating gender and sexual preference.
