Yui Kamio Lets Loose: Chapter Two

Well, things don't calm down in this second chapter of Shonen Jump's new Girl Gone Wild.

Apparently, Yui can't walk out her front door if her hair is black because there's a horde waiting to pursue her to exact unholy vengeance. This leads to said horde pursuing her to school. (One guy is actually holding a pipe, so we know it's a real horde.) This leads to Dark Yui- struck Kiito to be shaken out of his Hamlet like gloom over our heroine to help her escape from the howling mob--not once, but twice. Of course both involve somewhat inappropriate situations, with the last rescue involving a leap off a building, Yui's breasts in Kiito's face, and Yui landing on top of the eternally tormented Kiito. And of course Yui gets her hair bound just in time for Blonde Yui to have a panic attack on finding herself in such an embarrassing situation like omigod what sort of life is she leading?

So many questions in this one chapter.

Where is the school's security? How can a howling horde just overrun a school? Why does Yui sleep with her hair unbound? What if she wakes up at night to use the bathroom and decides to murder half the city? How does Dark Yui seemingly have knowledge of what Blonde Yui does (her blackmailing of Kiito) but Blonde Yui seems to have knowledge of anything her alter ego does?  Does Blonde Yui live in a constant state of disassociation and denial? And how does a passing bicycle rip out Yui's hairband and not half her scalp with it?

We do learn that this hair curse has lasted for five years, and that Nao has not missed binding her friend's hair in all that time. Good old Nao.

I think this series is going to be nuts.
