To be honest, I'm struggling to understand why on earth this so-called sequel to the lovely and delightful Karaoke Iko! was written in the first place, because I find it almost impossible to reconcile the light-hearted, endearing note on which the prequel ended with the utter misery and gloom that pervades FamiRes Iko.
Remember how Satomi, despite being a moody brat prone to some truly spectacular temper tantrums, was centrally characterised by the sheer joy he so clearly gained from Kyouji's presence in his otherwise painfully ordinary life?
