Jenn's Reviews > Boys Run the Riot, Vol. 2

With their brand finally out there, it now falls to the trio to keep it going. But alas, life still has to happen and new ventures take money. Ryo gets a part time job to help fund the clothing line and ends up making some new friends, most notably Mizuki who begins to challenge Ryo's way of thinking.

The one thing I love about this series is that the author doesn't shy away from Ryo's struggles - both internal and external. We get to see how conflicted Ryo feels about coming out to the people he loves and how much it hurts him to hold it inside. But we also get to see the wonderful people who do support Ryo and that's what makes this story. Having that support system cannot be unrated and Gaku showcases that through Ryo's friendship with Jin. I just adore Jin.

However, this installment ended on a major cliffhanger that I have a feeling is going to alter the course of the rest of the series. I literally gasped out loud when reading it. It was that major.
