"Akira Failing in Love Vol. 2" by Shinta Harekawa continues the adorable romantic comedy series about two teenagers who are clearly in love with each other—except neither of them seems capable of realizing it. After returning to the countryside for high school, Akira remains determined to win the heart of her childhood crush, Hajime. Unfortunately, both of them are hilariously awkward when it comes to expressing their feelings. As Akira carefully plans every interaction, from sharing homemade muffins to practicing conversations and asking Hajime for help learning how to ride a bicycle, she hopes to bring them closer together. Meanwhile, Hajime is making his own clumsy attempts at romance, whether it's asking for Akira's contact information, inviting her to the summer festival, or unexpectedly rescuing her from an army of overly affectionate cats.
