In Volume 1, we met Sahoko, who had some kind of feelings about her classmate Aoi. In Kyou, Koshiba Aoi ni Aetara, Volume 2 (今日、小柴葵に会えたら) the story gets infinitely more complex. Sahoko is falling for Koshiba Aoi, but Anna is falling for Sahoko. A fun afternoon doing karaoke puts them in proximity, but does not help solve either of their problems.

Worse, though, Aoi herself has fallen in love… with a guy, and has asked Sahoko for help. What’s worse than helping the girl you like look beautiful for someone else? Sahoko follows them to find out, and ends up sitting with Aoi.

Meanwhile, in the future, Koshiba Aoi won’t be joining them again, today.

As I said in my review of Volume 1, I really like Fly’s art.  But Takeoka Hazuki’s story has taken on a Waiting for Godot feel at this point, since Koshiba Aoi isn’t coming now, or maybe ever? If she won’t come to see Sahoko, what happened between them? Tune in to the next volume to find out!
