Senior year has never been this charmingly chaotic! In "Boyfriends Volume Two," Jock, Goth, Nerd, and Prep return with more love, giggles, and smiles. It's like the sitcom you wish was your life, complete with polyamorous adventures, quirky habits, and the introduction of the Girlfriends. Buckle up for another semester of romance and college-level absurdity!

Pros:
🌟 3.5 stars for this delightful continuation! So, so cute, it's practically a serotonin supplement.

πŸ˜„ Very fun! The author keeps the smiles beaming, making it the perfect escape from reality.

🌈 Positive vibes abound! It's like a rainbow of emotions, with moments of pride big and small scattered throughout.

πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ Good representation continues, making the polycule a diverse and heartwarming group.

πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ No plot, just vibes – who needs an intricate storyline when you can bask in the warm glow of romantic escapades?

πŸ§œβ€β™‚οΈ Love the Little Mermaid AU – because every rom-com needs a splash of underwater romance.

πŸ’– Love the introduction of the Girlfriends poly – it's like expanding the romantic universe with a fresh breeze of queer energy.

Cons:
🀷 Same issues as the first book – stereotypes, shallow characters, and little plot. But hey, when the vibes are this good, who's complaining?

The second collected volume of web comic Boyfriends, this graphic novel is sweet and funny. I sped through it in one setting absolutely delighted by the continuing relationship between all four leads. Sometimes all you want it to curl up with a soft slice of life and this is the exact material to hit that urge. An absolute delight all around.

Last summer I got the first volume of Boyfriends to read and I read it on a rainy day. I read this volume on a snowy night. I guess I will keep reading this series during inclement weather.

Boyfriends 2 continues the day-to-day lives of Jock, Goth, Nerd, and Prep as their polycule grows closer. Incredible cuteness happens. There are some new characters. There's a Little mermaid AU. It's just a sweet comic full of sweetness and cuteness.

Pairs well with hot chocolate on a snowy winter night.

"Boyfriends." Webtoon fan review incoming in 3, 2, 1... So I've been following refrainbow's "Boyfriends." since it was picked up as a Webtoon Original a few years back! I love keeping up with updates for this Webtoon, so I'm actually farther along in the story as I write this review, but I will say I hadn't realized it was being physically bound and published! That's so exciting to me and I will be picking up volume 1 stat. So this was a treat to find on NetGalley as an arc! It was such a joy reading this volume and going back to the beginning of this sweet polycule relationship! I have a lot of love for these guys and also equally love the "Girlfriends" too and this is when they're all introduced and the couples become friends! πŸ˜† This is such a great, quick story to pick up too since it's a short form comic style and it always finds the guys in such fun to read relationship situations. Though it really is hilarious to read at times, refrainbow does a great job at showing the struggles each character goes through that make them so relatable and has them support each other in such a loving, healthy way. We're here for depicting queer relationships in a joy-filled and loving light! So loved going back and getting to re-experience the joy I felt reading this Webtoon the first time. HIGHLY recommend!

Read For:
🩡 Good Humor
πŸ’œ Idiots in Love
🩷 Lovely Art Style

I adore this story, the art style is so cute and colorful. I love all the characters and how healthy their relationship is. The little awkward moments and the good humor make it even better.

While the characters have different aesthetics and personalities they all work so well together and care so much for each other. I loved reading the cute moments just as much as the funny chaotic moments.

Such a fun and lovely read!!

Thank you so very much to the author, WEBTOON Unscrolled, and NetGalley for this eARC; I’m so grateful!

I read this on webtoon and was excited that you can get physical copies now in stores. Where do i begin ? I just love all the characters and dynamic between them. I love how wholesome and cute it is. They are all different but , still it works well together. Its my first time reading about a poly relationship but , i love how they are able to communicate with one another in such a healthy way. Will continue reading it :)

I adore these boys! I read the first volume last year and I fell head over heels for these guys! This volume just solidified my love. This series is just so cute and wholesome. It is always a great go to when I need something sweet and easy. Plus I want to hold and protect these boys with my life!

This wasn't quite as cute as the first volume of the series. There were a few things that I actually found really annoying, mainly the characters not having names and the introduction of an all girl poly group with one of the boys' sisters out of the blue. It's still cute and all but I like volume 1 much better.

Absolutely love this comic! The characters are so fun and the idea is unique and playful. The art is really vibrant as well which makes reading it all the more enjoyable. I think the small slices of their life as the chapters flows really smoothly. Will definitely be reading Vol 3 (and more online!)

So cute and quirky, just like Volume One! Literally every page brought a smile to my face! It’s just such an excellent balance of humor and downright adorableness, told through beautifully vibrant artwork. What’s not to love!

This graphic novel is absolutely adorable! the characters are each unique and distinct with their own styles and personalities. The art is super cute with a very cohesive color scheme and eye catching illustations. And the plot shows such a sweet relationship through a diverse representation that we unfortunately don't see often.

Volume 2 of Boyfriends continues to be an adorable, comfortable read. There's no deep plots or super in depth characters, but that's okay -- it's not trying to be that kind of work. It's a cute, feel-good, slice-of-life.
We do get to learn more about the 4 boys, and some of their characteristics and backstories start to flesh out .
We also have the introduction of the Girlfriends, an all female polycule, which added fun characters to bounce off the boys.

I will say one thing I noticed more in Vol. 2 was how much I love the color palette and how well it blends across the different characters and scenes. It's very pastel heavy, but it still allows the Goth black to tie in and be amplified. It's really a cute, vibrant, fun vibe.

If you enjoyed Boyfriends Vol. 1, then you'll likely find Vol. 2 another fun read. If you didn't like Boyfriends Vol. 1, then I doubt this volume would change your mind.
