Cafe Kichijouji De Volume 2 (v. 2) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've heard of this manga before and when I finally saw it in the bookstore, it peaked my interest. I read the 1st vol of Cafe Kichijouji at Borders and it caught my heart. Imagine my happiness when I saw vol 2 at the shelves, its a pity I didnt have enough to get vol 3.
Anyway, back to the plot.
I was skeptical of this manga at 1st because of the plot.
Generally, there pretty much is no plot. Its just about a group of men running a Cafe.
Thats it.
Unconvinced?
The comedic element thrown in can turn from just a smile to giggles, depending on your sense of humour. I usually find most(albeit some terrible ones) manga comedy entertaining and Cafe Kichijouji is on the top 5 of my list of freaky, lovely, morbid, crazily-comedic manga.
Some people might find the countless impossible situation off-putting, but heck, its a light-hearted manga for fun. It is very nice to sit back from other mangas like Death Note and Saiyuki Reload for a while and digest this lovely manga.
The paper quality is top notch. Very thick. The artwork clean and just right. I am always a fool for clean, sweet artwork. The uncluttered boxes make reading a whole lot better. It is, afterall, not an action manga, so there are no lines and smokes here and there.
A word of warning though, (also a reason why I took off a star)if you like mangas with deep meaning and jokes that need some thoughts to it, lay this one off.(Think girls who look like guys, pet hamsters as ration food and food that screams when stirred)If not, go ahead and enjoy this adorable manga. Did I mention they have short TINY chibi stories after every chapter?

The young staff at the Cafe Kichijouji is a colorful bunch. They're the source of continual headache for the poor cafe master who oversees them all. In this volume, however, the cafe staff is beset by troublesome children - from the lost little girl Reina to the gang of bratty thugs who seem to have a grudge against Maki and Toku, the guys have their hands full. Even when they're just planning an outing to view cherry blossoms, the wackiness at the Cafe Kichijouji never ends.
