And it's not that I didn't expect the depth, but that I didn't expect what I would find or the levels of that depth. Coming into the manga, those molds are broken or changed slightly, and there's a lot more depth to each of the characters. I'm starting to realize that the way I viewed and knew each and every character when I watched the anime was almost like taking who they really were and all their unique characteristics, and generalizing them. It still, however, took me by surprise just how much more I've been given, and it sometimes comes from the subtlest of additions in the manga that weren't included in the anime. Let me just say that since I watched the anime first, I came into this manga expecting to learn more. But I'll admit what personally grasped my attention more than anything else were the small clues and insights we got to see into the characters that I've grown used to seeing from the anime. The plot continues to move on, sometimes steadily, and sometimes rushing forward all at once-like during the ending chapter, for instance.
I think this is where Volume 2 of Karneval began to really shine for me. We even got a fair introduction to all these people, enough to make us want to see more of them beyond their casual exteriors. In the first volume we started to see the edge of this mystery that's drawing everyone from their various places all together into one group, and we got a good grasp on the possible depths of the plot.
I've got to say that the things that were impressed on me the most in this volume were the various levels of depth that we got to experience on the parts of all of our characters.
