Happy Hustle High Volume 2, by Rie Takada

In the second volume of Happy Hustle High, by Rie Takada, the story continues of an all-girls high school merging with an all-boys school. Main character Hanabi Ozora grows her interest in Yasuaki Garaku, a quiet boy and student council vice president. She's been through the troubles of navigating her feelings for Yasuaki with his popularity in the way. Eventually, Hanabi, a daring heroin gets elected into the student council which not only allows her to coordinate the school but also grow something more with Yasuaki.

This manga is quite entertaining that once I had to pause my time reading, all I was looking forward to was continuing where I left off. Even though the theme is a bit silly and lovey-dovey, anyone who's a young die-hearted romantic would enjoy this piece. It's an easy read and the visuals make perfect representations of how different characters are portrayed. However, after reading this volume, I would like to warn to some that there are a few light mentions of sexual themes.
