Corona Blossom Vol.2 The Truth From Beyond

Seems a bit smoother when it comes to the E-mote system and sprites compared to the first volume, could be just placebo though. The story picks up right where it left off. I had a lot of fun reading with how the space pirates got fleshed out, many funny scenarios as well. This continued roughly until the middle where there was a kind of random tone shift in the opposite direction which ruined the mood, it did not get better and they threw in a pretty lame twist as well at the end. The writing was so consistent and flowed nicely in the first volume, so the quality nose dive was a bummer. If you have the patch, my suspicions of the H-scenes being made up got confirmed and the trend of them being in a separate menu from the story continues. I had mixed feelings regarding them. One could have been so good if animated but it was static instead. Another one started out with a very questionable scenario I did not find fitting nor deserving of that character. The last one was actually good. Overall, for me this ranks worse than the first volume but the first half is worth reading at least.

Good
