bluapapilio | Manga Check-in: "Shugo Chara!" volume 2

Chapter 6: Aw, the teacher, Nikaidou's hair is so floofy, he's cute. ...But idk, that timing of him bumping into Yuki with the X egg, I just felt like 'is he a member of Ikuto's group'?

The Planetarium! I had a feeling of nostalgia when I got to that scene, I remembered it from my first read I guess.

The whole thing about change really does hit hard, I think a lot of people can identify with it. Staying the same, even if you're not completely happy, is more comfortable than changing, even if it leads to being happier.

Yuki has a cute little guardian chara now too. <3

Aaand yep about Nikaidou. Oh, and Tadase got all blushy when he saw Amu character change and the pendant.

Chapter 7: I forgot that Ikuto mentioned Easter. They own a bunch of companies apparently. And Ikuto talked like he wasn't part of Easter?

I like that the guardians are really their own characters, the adventure they went on this chapter was fun.

Oh, Ikuto can 'become character' too? ...He has the key to her lock. :O

Chapter 8: Beach chapter. Eh, the one Tadano likes was a dog named Betty?! She died last year. Tadano says he's interested in Amu...'s character change. Wow that's cold. He doesn't like Amu, just the person she can change into. 😭

I just recently watched a history of magical girls and it was common for the love interest to fall for the girl's transformed self.

Chapter 9: Ikuto sees Amu with the lock. Amu 'becomes' Miki for the first time.

Chapter 10: When Amu comments that Tadase looks like the school planetarium's manger, Nadeshiko says it's abandoned and no one is there.

Nikaidou is infuriating, I want to punch him in his fake, smug face.

Ikuto tried to put his key in Amu's lock but there was something blocking it. 🤔

Is Ikuto's dream to be a magician? Amu singing and Ikuto playing together, how nice. Even though they're on opposite sides they can find common ground.

Urghh what a cliffhanger.
