Liselotte & Witch's Forest, Vol. 2

Liselotte wants to meet the neighbors, so to speak. Rather than just assume the witches in the nearby forest are dangerous, she decides to...bake them a cake and go calling on them. Like a “hey I'm new to the neighborhood, surely you guys aren't dangerous” reverse welcome wagon. Maybe not the play I would've made, but I can respect her gumption. She does indeed meet the neighbors, and finds them a bit of a mixed bag in terms of dangerousness. A familiar face (to Liselotte, anyway) appears, and we get some major backstory revealed.

Where the first volume was a bit light in terms of interesting plot points, this one seems to have made up ground. Our heroine gets some tragic tones, and her love interest gets some additional fleshing out (...so to speak).

I did find the action and some of the back-and-forth dialogue hard to follow, though. I don't know if that's a product of the text bubbles being in confusing locations or a translation issue or what, but I had to re-read a bit in the thick of the backstory in order to grasp what was going on.
