Ah, I just love Hifumi in this show. As character design leader, I like her role in this show.



The comedy of this show is still pretty amusing imo especially with the imaginative ideas. Majority of the episode took place at their workplace so these girls are getting busy to meet deadlines. The "physical bonding" LOL

A nice episode especially that kiss picture was funny.
Anyway it seems Aoba's designs are getting there and she seems to be enjoying things.
On the other hand the team changes seem to have some changes on the characters especially Hifumi who has the harsh task of keeping on eye on the girls.
And the girls who aren't used yet to her way of leading.

This was alright. I'm not one who gets overly excited for yuri-bait so this was probably the weakest episode yet for me since comedy and plot was just okay and not too well presented here.

Hifumi trying her best to further socialize and act like an understanding person is nice to look at.

The little scene with Yun's brother and sister was cute :3 So was the mid-card.

Hifumi is doing well as a character design leader. Her naughty side was fantastic. Yun couldn't make it to the deadline because she was taking care of her siblings. By asking for help, Hajime came up with some ideas. Aoba is able to come up with a character design. She had a fun time with her friend. Her devilish side was funny.

That story of the queen for the game was adorable!

I didn't like the final part of the episode that much, but overall it was still great, loving this sequel.

Hifumi's other self was great. Nice to see more dark Aoba too. Wonder what would happen if we got both of them together like that.

The girls protected by the gods of convenient censorship I see.

Somehow I really enjoyed the bit where the talked about the queen's back story.

Oh my. The amount of subtext in this episode was unbearably cute (pun intended). We got to see a new lewd side of Aoba and Hifumi. Oh yeah, and a new character.

An overall great episode.

I might be stating the obvious here, but in my opinion, Devil Aoba is best Aoba. =3

It's always amusing to see her personality to a complete 180 and started to tease and grope her friend Hotarun, but when she did the same to Sakura, she didn't expect Sakura to give her a run for her money. =D

As for the rest of the episode, Hifumi makes a pretty good leader, although I do understand Aoba and Yun's dilemma about whether to be honest with Hifumi or not about her schedule and avoid having Hifumi burst out crying. Yun's scene with her siblings, along with the halfway visual with them sleeping peacefully was really cute. =)

As always this was another enjoyable and funny episode. I do hope that the new characters from the OP song make their appearance soon.

Boy,they went all out with the yuri this this time xD

Hifumi beeing insecure and cautious in her new position was so adorable, her switch to mean was cute too.

Aoba showed also more of her teasing side :P

Overall it was a really sweet episode.

Hifumi as boss, but she can't be strict. It was funny that she had to "cosplay" in order to scold Yun. I like the new character Hotarun. She seems cool. Very good as usual.

I now fully admit I was wrong to doubt Hifumi. If she learns to get 'in character' she'll probably dominate that office.

So Hifumi has the "skill" to switch her personality into a character's? How convenient... but it can be counterproductive for her xD And the last scene was... something :P

this second season is showing us how not to do a Second Season, 5 episodes in and NOTHING has happened yet, well, if there has been development, it is almost non existent. this second season might have been better if they decided to do a short lengthened specials bundled with the first season instead of 24 mins of the same. is not that I don't like it, its just a waste to make another season where nothing happens

Sweet episode.

Hifumi is touching everyone's hearts with her purity as a leader. I know she touched mine. XD She's been super adorable these past few episodes and I loved the femdom Hifumi too. XD

All that yuri bait in this episode was so much win, especially at the end with devil Aoba. <3

Was nice to see the girls make progress in their respective areas.

Another fun & enjoyable episode.

Hifumi is the least threatening boss ever, is was fun watching her try to do that job.

I always love watching evil Aoba.

Looking forward to watching the next episode.

Doga Kobo knows how to deliver exactly what the audience wants.

More Hifumi? Check.
More Nenechi? Check.
Actual yuri ships? Check.

For me, I'm most happy to see Hifumi take a more primary role this season. She is far and away the most entertaining character to me.

4/5- I don't particularly care about yuri bait to be honest. However, if it's Hifumi initiating the bait super hard like she did this episode, I suddenly care now.

I'm a bit saddened to not see Umiko at all this episode though. Her interactions and chemistry with basically everyone is always entertaining.

Even though it was just Yun's fantasy, I still had the urge to buy Hifumi everything she'll ever want.

I think Hifumin is the cutest character on the show. I like the way she is behaving as a character designer.

Aoba has become more adept at designing characters and we got a new character this episode, interested to see wether she becomes more important or is just a side character.

And this is why i love this show. They dont just hint at the yuri they shove it in your face. As much as ive always wanted a show with an actual developing yuri relationship, this is something i can also go for. So cute. I think Doga Kobo is probably my favorite studio right now. Now i need some more Kou x Rin

This show couldn't get anymore adorable... Hifumi's leadership gets an A+! Sultry Hifumi is lovely as well <3 Aoba's queen design is very cute, hope we get to see some of this stuff they're talking about come to life a little bit in the late episodes.

Hotarun is a player, sheesh. "It's how they greet people in France" is the oldest trick in the book though, come on. Physical bonding ftw!

We got a new character Hotaru which is highschool friend of Aoba...
Hifumi gotta work on her peronality, if she won't get strict or angry...it would be hard for her to lead the team...
That smug acting of Hifumi was awesome!
Aoba still no match for Yagami's art skills.
4/5.

I definitely wouldn't mind being reprimanded by Hifumi like that. Despite her curious methods, the projects seems to be progressing in a fine manner. The onsen trip, while unexpected, was enjoyable. Aoba's cunningness was cute too.

I wouldn't call it her "naughty side" it's just a character from one of her cosplay

Honestly, I would feel bad if I ask Hifumi for more time. I would try my best to have everything done by the deadline... she is so kind and of course, she is doing her best too... Geez, I really like this charcter's personality -.-'

Enjoyable episode, lots of yuri moments (not involving Kou/Rin... unexpected) and the always welcome devil aoba appearance :D

I'm honestly so happy with everything they've done with Hifumi this season. She was low key kind of my favorite last season. But I also feel like they didn't do much with her. In five episodes though. She's gone from blushing mess to (mostly) effective team leader. Jun and Aoba noticing the changes in her from their expectations was a nice touch that drove this home. And Hifumi disciplining Jun was the funniest scene in the whole episode.

Maybe I'm not remembering how it played out last season. But I seem to recall the game development aspect of the plot being one of the weaker elements. This new game they're working on seems weirdly compelling though. And I liked the theme this episode on the helpfulness of feedback. It's a good message that was well demonstrated. In fact the only thing I thought was lacking. Was Aoba and Nene's friend coming back in town. The hot spring scene was a little generic and out of nowhere. But even then her and Aoba's discussion after was pretty solid.
