I've already yelled about thoughts on the age gap so I went into volume 2 just trying to enjoy the story… Honestly, though, I started to not care about Gene and Trevor's story at the beginning. It wasn't really until the moment with Ryan and then everything after that had me so much more invested in everyone. I found myself more interested in the present day. Mostly in nephew Gene. I did like the way chapter 2 ended, though. This and volume one did get laughs out of me, I will say that. I also almost cried seeing present day Gene and Trevor literally repeat their encounter.
I would actually love a spin-off for them. I was so excited to see my baby boy (gn) Gene meet my other baby boy Gene and for them to just talk. And then there's also Jean (Danny's daughter) and I wanted them to meet her too! I want so much for nephew Gene, I'm pretty sure he's my favorite character overall.
I forgot that this was a spin-off from another manga and that Oz is from that spin-off that's NOT an age gap so I'm gonna try reading it. I thought it was a little weird that he got screen time that amounted to nothing in volume 1 and then showed up at the end of volume 2 like I was supposed to know him. Now I know it was just a bone to throw to the people who read that.
