Manga Review
I've finished "A Devil and Her Love Song Vol. 2" by Moyoshi Tomori.
Product Description
Reads R to L (Japanese Style), for audiences T.
Meet Maria Kawai — she’s gorgeous and whip-smart, a girl who seems to have it all. But when she unleashes her sharp tongue, it’s no wonder some consider her to be the very devil! Maria’s difficult ways even get her kicked out of an elite school, but this particular fall may actually turn out to be her saving grace.
Maria’s bold attitude may be exactly what she needs when she inspires an unlikely ally to come to her defense. And when she’s given the task to lead her class in a choral competition, she’s going to need all the gumption she can muster!

My Review:
This volume opens with Maria and Yusuke visiting Tomoyo who is always smiling but wearing Goth clothes which Maria doesn't really like. We learn more about Maria's story and her true personality shines through. Yusuke gets a lot more attention in this volume along with Ayu Nakamura Maria's tormentor who we see eavesdropping on a couple of conversations and shows her true feeling off stage.
We also see more of the conflict between Maria and her teachers and how she deals with the problems. She is given the task of leading the choral competition which she pursues in spite of hostility and hatred from her classmates. As the story progresses Maria realizes that people genuinely coming to her defense and why she was destined to go to that school.
5/5

Oooh...I love reading about girls with a strong tongue. This sounds like a good contemp novel - I'm assuming it's contemp at least.
