| the most boring girl wins in one of the most boring shows of the season, oh well yeah season 1 was definitely better, even if not by much |
| At long last, the play is finally here, and I’m glad we actually got to see a good bit of it, I’ve seen some shows where they do a play and we barely get to see it so seeing the fruits of the labor is nice for sure, I think seeing the story this way helps with making more sense of it. There was also that part in the play where Hinami says something like “I have everything, but that’s why I have nothing” and everything went silent which I thought was very cool, we unfortunately didn’t get any insight on her in this final episode but I did like that scene. It all seemed to go according to plan, until there was a final added scene that Tomozaki didn’t know about that portrayed Hinami and Mizusawa’s characters getting married, and Tomozaki took this as a rejection from Kikuchi which was pretty surprising at that moment. And when Tomozaki was depressed and just took the rejection, then comes best girl Mimimi to back our boy up one last time, it’s really respectable that she’d do this despite her treatment but it does make me, someone who rooted for her win, sad at the same time lol. It is what it is tho, as Tomozaki heads back to understand Kikuchi’s reasoning, and it was quite the discussion which had me thinking they might chicken out and have Tomozaki pick nobody and accept the fate Kikuchi chose for him to be with Hinami, but thankfully the lad did the thing and got the babe he’s been working towards for a long time, I may be sad that Mimimi was not picked but I do like this outcome as well, it’s hard not to giving all that’s happened. And in the end we hear Tomozaki still has tasks to complete as he still hasn’t reached his true goal, and one last scene with Tomozaki and Kikuchi which was a fitting end for this season. And just like that the Season 2 I waited so long for is already over, time is a bitch lol, but as usual I gotta say my piece on this season. It was another great season, I enjoyed each story arc we went through and it’s nice that Tomozaki actually got a girlfriend this time around, I could have easily seen it being held off for even longer but we got it here, it may not have been the girl I wanted but it happened lol. I will say tho, while I did enjoy this season I do think Season 1 was better, and this is mainly due to the fast paced opening arc of this season, I get it wasn’t really a story that needed a lot of episodes dedicated to it but I felt I would have liked it more with better pacing. There’s also the fact that when it came the play arc later on that a lot of it was dedicated to Kikuchi’s story which imo wasn’t super interesting, but I get it played a big role in her story arc so it did need the focus. All this being said tho, I really hope this isn’t the end of the anime and we can get a 3rd season because I do love these characters and I’d love to see more or Tomozaki’s journey, especially now with a girlfriend. And hopefully it can have DIALOGUE+ giving us hot jams too, because once again they killed it this season, both the OP and ED are favorites of mine this season, but it is very hard to beat Season 1’s ED so they don’t win over that one for the series lol. And lastly, i think my best girl is staying Mimimi, I really like Kikuchi but this season left me liking Mimimi even more than I did before, don’t really mind that she was dumped by Tomozaki, I still love her lol. |
| Couldn't care less about any of the female characters in this series, but still I could feel how wrong this ending felt. I mean this girl had the least interactions of all the potential love interests or whatever, but somehow.. someway, she won, at least for now. Though for what reasons.. only the author could explain. Anyways, I laughed when Mimimi came and we saw a very familiar "go after the girl you like" segment, I mean what? Would the uncalled confession a few minutes later have seen a worse build-up???? Lol. First season was at least fine enough, but this one, first with that soap opera-esque "bULlYiNg" arc, and then this cultural festival play thing.. downward spiral with capital D, really. Not sure if I want to continue with another season of this. |

| This episode shot my soul a little... Still, it was a good one, the play was symbolic and Tomozaki made his choice. I wonder what will happen from now on. It was good to have more of this series after 3 years of waiting. Thank you! |
 |
| damn this was somehow worse than s1 which was already terrible. |
 |
| From the s1 tomozoki always with aoi whether it’s just talk, play games or making startegies but in the end he was with another girl, the ending didn’t fit in my opinion… |
| A complete disaster for those who are waiting for 'Tomozaki x Mimimi' but instead had to cope with 'Tomozaki x Fuuka' |
 |
| The complete 2nd season = 8 The final episode = 5 Global score: 6 I'm tired of seeing the contempt they give to the efforts of characters like Mimimi |
| well this was unexpectedly better than first season i was fine with season 1 so didn't expect that much mainly because the first 5 episodes were so slow and didnt give a clear picture so after it finished i watched all 8 episodes and i found it much better than season 1 this was very real with a lot of attention to detail and Unfamiliar way to fly was a great way too end this season even the anime i dont think it can get even better than this we just have to wait and see |
 |
| It was a really nice ending for this anime. I'm glad Tomozaki did the best choice and finished with Kikuchi? |
| I liked mimimi a lot, nothing more to say. |
 |
| I think what frustrates me the most is that the entirety of Mimimi's story was finding confidence in herself despite not always getting to her goal (coming in first). The author then has her once again lose to another character. She's by far my favorite character in the show, and I just think she was done downright dirty. I've seen a lot of romance anime, but I think this one just seems so unfair. I'm left in awe. Like what? Is the moral of her character that for some people you can never get anything to go right for you? I really thought with the extra scene in the play, that Mimimi might actually find a way to win too. |

| At long last, the play is happening. Fuuka changed the ending to pair Tomozaki Libra with Mimimi Alicia instead of her Kris. But Tomozaki finally confesses and changes her mind through nonsensical dialogues. Why does the shy boring one always win? I liked the first season much better and I really wished this season would focus a bit more on Aoi and her backstory as well as her relationship with Tomozaki. I feel like their personal connection got really lost in this season with long periods where the "game" of life was on pause. Instead, we got bogged down in the bullying arc and then the play arc was dragged way too long; ofc I understand it since the goal was to pair Tomozaki with Fuuka. Still I enjoyed it overall and give it a 7/10, hope for a season 3. mat0us said: Look how they Yuigahama'd my girl 😭 Haha yeah I really felt that too! |
| YAAAAYYYY FUUKA-CHAN!!! Best girl! Also Tama was very cute in the play! I’m sure the story continues from here but if the anime ends here I’m honestly satisfied, that would be an ideal ending as far as I’m concerned. |
| "Do you want me to take you away... to a place in this city where wishes come true?" |
| If Tomozaki made any mistakes in life, it's picking Kikuchi over Mimimi, truly. Even in defeat she is a far better character than Kikuchi will ever be. |
 |
| I dislike this ending ;/ I should lover the vote to 7/10 ;/ but the story is good and many funny moments mostly with Minami and also with Mizusawa. But it was worst ending.. he shoul've be with Minami or Aoi. I don't know how bad Kikuchi could take it if they brake up hopefully in season 3. Not that I like Aoi itself, but they play games together! ;d I liked OP and Ed visuals, songs were also nice for such anime. |
| (づ￣ ³￣)づ ちゅっ ちゅっ キス (´｡✪ω✪｡｀) I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;) |
| My gripe is not that Mimimi lost. It's that the least interesting character in a show with a bunch of interesting characters won. That aside, the novel does a better job building up the relationship from the start. Tomozaki has a unique way of talking to and about Kikuchi that makes it clear she wins from miles away before any sort of decision. The anime does not have that. Still, since the novel is still going, endgame is not necessarily decided just yet. In general, volumes 6 and 7 that cover the festival arc were the weakest part of the series for me when I read the novels and I feel the same with the 2nd half of S2. It drags out for too long and a lot of the other characters become kinda irrelevant in the end. I much prefer bullying arc in volume 5 where more characters mattered and wished just a bit more of volume 4 with Izumi and Nakamura's relationship was covered. Overall, I give a 6. |

I think at this point it was obvious to anyone and their cat that Mimimi tears were inevitable but damn seeing them just hits different ngl 💔😭 |
