Welcome back to K-On! Monday everyone,
Back in K-On! Monday IX we took a look at the first volume of the K-On! manga, today we'll be looking at volume two!
This time round Mio is featured on the front
Volume two was the base for the second half of season one, basically the girl's second year. Honestly, it's still a bit too moe for my liking, though it does have its moments.
Azusa is introduced!
Though it is different to the Anime's introduction, she first watches the main girl's performance at the school festival, and then is inspired to join the light-music club; instead of seeing their first year's introduction performance. Not too different from the Anime I guess after all haha.
Azusa at the clubroom for the first time
All in all, most of Kakifly's K-On! stuff is waaay more moe than Kyoani's, especially these first two volumes. Not that I'm saying it's bad or anything, but not what I'm into. It just lacks the depth I feel the Anime added. For example, when Yui forgot gitaa (ギター) for the second-year school festival allowed her to run home. Thinking about what the club meant to her, and bringing the season full circle when she first ran the school without a purpose, now she has one. But in the manga, it's just treated as a joke, with Yu bringing it with her as the punchline. The Anime's added depth is what made K-On! so popular, we all reminisce about the past, and how we might be better off now than we were before.
It's still a fun read though, if you like the show check it out! It has most of the jokes as season 1. Even though it isn't true, the manga just feels like a condensed version of the anime. Like I said before, "You should just treat it like a newspaper comic." If you do that, then it's a fun read! Anyway, see you all in nine weeks for vol 3, have a good week.
See ya
