I'm glad you liked it enough to come back and play the 2nd volume :D
Especially considering the story in vol 01 is kinda boring in my honest opinion x3 As you say, it's kinda cliché! And I personally just don't really enjoy stories set in schools since school irl was a shit time for me, but also, similarly to what you said, I'm in my thirties now, so a school setting is not really relatable, haha.
I debated skipping localisation of vol 01 tbh, but in the end, I couldn't bring myself to skip it cos it seemed wrong to start out with a different volume. My brain demanded that I work on them in the correct order xD
I definitely prefer the setting and characters of volume 02 :3 The problem I have now is that I'm not a fan of the story/setting/characters from volume 03 because it's a step brother VS stepdad situation I think >.< I know some people will be into that sorta thing, but I'm not, so it will be a difficult one to localise and stay true to the original Japanese scenario on when it's another one like volume 01 that I don't actually like >.<
Anyways, I'm just glad that you had fun with volume 02 :D
Yeeeeah, Takaaki seems so genuinely sweet right up until the moment he's not, and then it's like, oh... shit... my life is fucked xD Whereas Sakae makes almost no attempt to hide his asshole nature, haha.
Glad you enjoyed the VA and bloopers too ^-^ The whole thing just wouldn't be the same without the VA, so I'm super grateful to have had the opportunity to work with such talented voice actors!
Thank YOU for playing it :3
