I don't know what the author was thinking after the outrage that led to the prequel being axed (or that he stopped it himself, who knows), he tried to introduce another character into this sequel and steered clear of adults and controversial plotlines. As a reader of the prequel, I'd be thrilled to read this if not for the dampening chemistry between the main protagonists of the previous story. As a matter of fact, what actually made Koneko Hiroimashita unique was the chemistry between the male protagonist and the elementary (?) kid, which became more of a symbiotic relationship than just being a babysitting one. Thissequel totally ditched all potential developments between the previous protagonists in favour of familiarizing a new character, which is not to say the story is bad but it loses its uniqueness. As a result, readers who stumble upon this story with no knowledge of the prequel wouldn't find this enjoyable.
