Ummmmmmmm… rarely does the second go SO far higher than the original like this one did. Where the original was maybe a 7-8, this one is… dare I say it… a 10 (TEN!! MASTERPIECE!) because…. Wow. SO intense, SO romantic. It balanced out everything from the first one that was scary or iffy, and made this couple so great. They had problems that seem realistic considering their origin story, but overcame them in great ways. Beautiful (and… hot. For reeeeal). The art is so so good and it just elevates the story to the max level for the most emotional and romantic impact.
