Oh, that's good to hear, both that you had reservations about the first (I thought it might just have been me) and that they're overturned.

It seemed like a skillful adaptation of someone else's work, and I wanted more Takemiya opera. “Whatever reservations I might have had about this series have been dispelled by the second installment”…
