My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! (Manga) Vol. 2

Doom Countermeasure - befriend the heroine
I've been waiting for this to come out, specifically the manga version because I like the cute art. This one focuses on Katarina meeting the heroine of the game's setting, Maria Campbell.This volume has five chapters and four of them focus on the newest character, Maria Campbell. In "Fortune's Lover", Maria was the player's character and the one everyone fell in love with. Naturally, this is different due to Katarina's presence but Katarina herself doesn't realize this, and that is where this volume's humor comes from.Our self-identified "villainess" has become wrong-genre-savvy, and the dissonance between what she thinks is going on and the reality that is apparent to others is as funny to the reader as it is baffling to her friends. One moment in particular has her thinking that Mary is tsundere to Alan when this could not be farther from the truth. It is a skillful use of Dramatic Irony. The running gag that is Katarina's farming hobby returns and is also good for laughs.However, not all is humor.Just because the villainess of "Fortune's Lover" wants to be Maria's friend that doesn't mean Maria isn't subject to bullying. Also, her home-life is implied to be rocky. Being the most special girl in this country has its drawbacks.The student council president has a scene and a follow-up event which just screams "something wicked this way comes".The other characters are a bit Out Of Focus due to Maria's introduction but I feel that is only for the introduction and things will even out later. The fifth chapter mitigates this by showing what Katarina does with each of them during summer break.The art continues to be cute and funny.Overall, it is a great follow-up to the first volume but it feels a little lesser in content. Everything basically boils down to "Katarina and Maria become friends" instead of the more expansive plot line of the previous.Trickster Eric Novels gives "My Next Life as a Villainess, All Routes to Doom volume 2" a B+

feels like a rushed job
The book feels like a rushed job to introduce a new character so the pacing feels off from the first book. There is very little focus on the other characters so no real development in the relationships with the main protagonist and the characters from the first book. The short story included is just a page filler with little to add to the overall story. I still really enjoy the main character Katarina and her overall humorist interactions in this fantasy world. Hopefully the next book can get back to developing the relationships with the main protagonist and her loving cast of characters.

Not formatted properly
The story itself was a continuation of the main character going to school and meeting her nemesis, but actually liking her. However the book was not formatted for manga style from right to left, which made you start at the end of the book instead of the beginning.

Doom Flags!
A great series that deviates from the norm yet seems to fall it. Very interesting and entertaining following an individual with a one track mind!

It came quickly
I swear this book came quickly it was suppose to be deliver at a later time and it came quickly. Which I'm not complaining about what's so ever. I'm extremely happy with this.I really enjoy the MC she is to hilarious, the fact that she goes and makes a farm under the pretense of planting flower. While she's in school is too funny. Lol and when her mother found out what she was doing under some rumors that was told. She knew instantly that its was her daughter. lol she is too funny.
