The second volume distinguishes itself from typical slice-of-life manga by making honest dialogue the solution to conflict rather than dramatizing misunderstandings.

The second volume of My Favorite Vtuber is Scary IRL places communication at its center, according to a Siliconera review. Characters handle awkward situations by talking through problems: the Vtuber, her delivery guy, and new rival Akari bond over shared fandom; the Vtuber learns to assert herself; and a major cliffhanger results from a vulnerable confession. The volume avoids frustrating miscommunication tropes.
The second volume of My Favorite Vtuber is Scary IRL focuses on three main characters working through social anxiety and trauma via direct communication. The Eatza delivery guy, his favorite Vtuber Fuwari, and a new delivery woman named Akari each face moments where talking out their feelings is the only path forward.
The volume opens with the delivery guy and Akari meeting under tense circumstances. The two bond over their shared fandom for Fuwari, and Akari reveals her insecurities about being an otaku. Later, the Vtuber awkwardly asserts that the delivery guy matters to her. Both the Vtuber and the delivery guy also resolve a mutual fear of disappointment by having an emotional conversation.
The volume ends on a cliffhanger involving the Vtuber taking a major risk and opening up about something difficult. The first two volumes are available now. Square Enix has not announced a release date for the third.
