I loved the first volume of this series, FIX, so much, that I really didn’t think a second volume could be as good, but it was! The second volume is similar to the first one: we follow writers as they struggle with their writings, sometimes forcing a plot on their characters which had the consequence to turn an innocent into the culprit.
In the first volume, they were helped by a mysterious A-kui, but in this one, they are helped by someone else (often a friend). I personally found this even more interesting than A-kui’s contributions in the first volume, because it gave a whole new dimension to the stories. In the first volume, we were following the fiction written by the authors (which was always a good mystery in itself!), and how the author would fix their writing and find the right path (which sometimes involved finding the real culprit in their own work). But now, the relationship between the author and the other person helping them is also a topic in itself, and I really loved seeing how working on a fiction often made them closer.
The types of fiction present in the collection were also very diverse, from manga to video games, with each their own challenges.
I really wish both FIX and FIX2 were translated into English, they’re both unique collections!
