1. The side characters are more involved in the plot and characters like Mitsuki are finally getting character development.
2. The villains are very interesting and more compelling this time around.
3. The quality of the art has gone up. The paneling and choreography are more fluid and easier to follow. Ikemoto relies less on speed lines and uses them properly. He's also started adding more perspective to his drawings. There's still room for improvement but I'm enjoying his art right now.
4. The pacing has been really solid. The chapters aren't slow, nor do they feel rushed.
Aside from the improvements, the narrative has been really interesting. There's so many twists and turns to where it's hard to predict what will happen next. Part 1 may not be a lot of people's cups of tea but Part 2 has been really fun to read.
