Thirsty? Whistle!

Oh, as for the actual story of Whistle! v2: It's pretty cool, actually. In v1 the team was effectively stripped down to six named characters, & we saw them come together to become a new team. This volume gets two more characters that were hanging around the edges to rejoin. But at some point the book has to have a footie game, right? In order to get to eleven members for the new team's first game, we have three characters added in amidst that without fanfare or introduction. I wonder if the book will get back to them.

Then we have the new team's first actual full game. I give the writer props for making the goalie on the opposing team really cool, possibly even cooler than Shō & Tatsuya. But of course he has a nasty heavy on that team too, to give Tatsuya problems.

Well, there's a bit of cliffhanger--or halftime--at the end of the volume. I guess I'll continue this when I get to it.
