Endo and Kobayashi Live! The Latest on Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte

I still enjoyed this a lot, but I also feel like there was only a single issue left to resolve and the book spends ages circling around it simply because it can't end right away. The issue in question is, of course, the battle with the Witch of Yore. Who's... probably not who you think she is. From there, the hidden route is also explored and resolved nicely since they are more closely linked than I expected.

In the second volume, Lieselotte is enjoying a much better life than what the game originally provided for her. Sieg openly showers her with love, she gets along great with Fiene, and the people around her understand her a lot more than before. The only problem remaining is that the Witch of Yore is still possessing her, so Endo and Kobayashi are making all sorts of preparations for the final battle. Which was... anticlimactic, to say the least. At the same time, Endo and Kobayashi's relationship is also progressing rather nicely in the real world.

Again, this is a quick read that demands very little of me. I kind of wished the book would maintain the lighthearted, comedic tone the previous volume had, since at some points it switches to a more serious atmosphere. The two new love interests introduced here are also rather underdeveloped, and a great chunk of the book is spent on people professing their love for one another. もう、ラブラブすぎてお腹いっぱいです is honestly how I feel LOL.

But well, it's a refreshing take on the genre that concludes with a happy ending to end all happy endings. It was fun, and it stops without dragging the story out too much.
