review 1: I was rather pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this volume. If the first volume was a little too similar to the equally well known Lucky Star 4koma series, then the second one showed me that they're different enough to keep the more cynical readers entertained. The cuteness factor has to be one of the best things about this series. If you're a fan of cute girls doing cute things, you'll continue to love this series with the second volume. The inevitable vacation scenes continue to be my favorite portion of the series, although Yui getting a cold is pretty fun as well. This really is a sweet and harmless series, which is really nice to read inbetween the more serious fare out there. There's only so much Higurashi you can read before you just need to read something th... moreat's more comprised of sweetness and light, after all. I don't think I'll ever be as big of a fan of this series as I would like to be, but it's one that I'll continue to collect and would recommend to others to do the same. The good thing is that while it'd be best to read them in order, if you do happen to pick up the second volume without having read the first, you won't really be that lost. The series is one that can be read (so far in my experience) in any order without having to know that much of the back story- something that can be invaluable when you're in a bookstore that only has the later volumes.
review 2: If you're looking for a light-hearted read after a long, hard day, you really can't look further than K-On!To put it simply, it's a bit of a 'fluff' tale about a group of girls who make up the pop music club at school, and their misadventures together. The eclectic bunch, made up of Yui Hirasawa on guitar, Mio Akiyama on bass, Ritsu Tainaka on drums and Tsumugi Kotobuki on keyboard, the girls are seemingly more interested in drinking tea and eating cake, than they are rehearsing, or doing anything remotely music related. Though, when push comes to shove, their love for one another and the fun they have always pulls them over the finish line.Lacking much of a storyline, and with almost no plot whatsoever, K-on! is definitely not going to be the sort of manga that keeps you on the edge of your seat; but it's such a refreshing break from the typical manga-drama, that you can't help but adore it and all of it's characters. Definitely a must for any music lover, with scattered pieces of technical advice throughout, it's nice to be able to relate with what the girls go through as they master their instruments. On a personal note, even my boyfriend, an avid drummer, really enjoyed this, because of the accuracy and precision with which the music is slipped in.There are moments when you feel like you're reading the same thing you did in the last chapter, and wonder if anything different is going to happen, but with moments that genuinely make you chuckle, and causes you to smile the whole way through it, there's no way that you couldn't like K-On less
