Alex + Ada vol. 2 by Jonathan Luna and Sarah Vaughn

Synopsis: Tensions rise between humans and robots in this sci-fi/drama set in the near future. Alex took a huge risk to unlock Ada and it seems to have paid off - Ada can now think for herself and explore life as a sentient android. As Alex and Ada spend more time together, they become closer. But as restrictions tighten on androids, Ada feels unsure about her place in Alex's life and the world. Collects Alex + Ada #6-10.

Review: Alex + Ada vol. 2 picks up where vol. 1 left off. Ada is now sentient and she is trying to adjust to her new life with Alex. Watching her experience new foods was fun, and I could feel her excitement in that moment. The conflict between Alex and Ada felt very real. They both have to learn to live their life together again. This includes being attracted to each other. This part of the story hit me right in the feels because it managed to mirror some things in my personal life. I think that's the beauty of this story though. It's about an android and a human, but it is still incredibly easy to relate to. A few people found out about Ada being sentient in this volume and the amount of people who were not bothered surprised me. Of course, the ending sets up well for volume 3.
