Sweetness and Lightning 2 by Adam Lensenmayer, Gido Amagakure

While I likely will stick with this series for it's cute and expressive art, this second volume was nothing special.
Story: The story's mostly just slice of life with a few bits of an arc of Kohei being a father and moving on with his loss. The cooking isn't really anything special in this either and I got bored easily during those scenes. They do add a bit of fluff to the cooking scenes but usually they're bland. I feel like the first volume had better cooking scenes. Then again I think these kinda scenes are hard to execute in a fun way, unless you're Delicious in Dungeon. There is is a good chapter with Kohei and Tsumugi at a fesitival which I won't spoil, but it makes Kohei a bit more interesting and more of a character.
Character: Probably the weakest part of the comic. Kohei is very bland, but I do think they're making him more round character wise, slowly. Tsumugi is the star of the show, obviously. However she seems to be kept to the side. Kotori is guilty of this too, she barely does anything besides cook in this volume.
Art: The best part. This comic is held up by it's amazing illustration. They're cute and unique, it's hard to think of a comic with a similar art style. It's very expressive too.
All in all, while I bit boring and bland the art makes it definetly worth a read.
