| Rika and Shino has an underrated chemistry imo, so the fact they had one more moment in this finale is a pleasant sight to see. About time she confessed her feelings after all the buildup. The ending was amusing, nothing too dramatic but Nagisa babbling about not getting her kiss. Overall, funny episode and finale imo. |
 |
| I'm really happy that this series is moving forward, especially when compared to another Kanojo anime, things only picked up after hundreds of episodes/chapters. Out of the blue, Shino declares her decision to move to a different school. Despite a heated argument with Saki, who remains skeptical, Shino struggles to express her true emotions. Offering the support Shino requires, Mirika intervenes by reaching out to Naoya, urging him to join them. In another encounter, Shino tearfully bares her feelings to Naoya in the presence of Saki. The pressing question now is Naoya's response. Additionally, the fate of Naoya's connections with Saki, Nagisa, Mirika, and Shino hangs in the balance. Mirika is an absolute riot. I can't get enough of how she contrasts with every character in this anime, especially with the usually serious and studious Shino. Naoya getting all teary in the middle of his speech totally caught me off guard; this episode's emotions really hit hard. Saki stole the show this time, pushing Naoya into a love triangle. I'm really curious about how Nagisa will take all of this. I was so tense the whole episode, but it turned out to be just perfect. Shino's love for Saki, Naoya, and the way she respectfully asked Saki for permission just warmed my heart. But the real surprise was Mirika; I thought she'd be upset, but she's surprisingly calm about everything. And poor Nagisa, ending up in fourth place in a two-timing relationship must be tough; no wonder she's feeling down. This show is just the epitome of trash, and I'm totally hooked. Seriously, when are they releasing season 3? I can't wait for it. |
 |
| Shino was ready to let it all go, and I think it’s quite obvious why. Mirkia kind of instigated her too, but it was when Naoya asked her about her true feelings, she.. finally came clean. All those years of bottled up feelings, and she just accepted she liked Naoya… in front of everyone. Hilariously Naoya bowed down in an attempt to reject her feelings straight away but hey as if that’d have happened lol. Saki, being so easy she is, just accepted Shino’s feelings too… mind you for Naoya, and NOT FOR HER, like she was anticipating lmaoooo. The insert song during that scene made it a tad more impactful. Naoya might have rejected Shino’s feelings, but Shino doing the “ a new day, a new me” and literally declaring her willingness to be a part of this ever growing harem has just spiced things up a LOT too much lol, just to add further to Saki’s worries. I mean she doesn’t care enough right now, just give her Naoya and she’s all good lol. Shino going no holds barred, but hey she should’ve avoided that revelation of kissing him full nude lol. Liked this as much as the first season back then, though since the manga is finished, the only cause of worry is if we’d get a third season or not. Hope we do get one, and I think that’ll be the final season, for obvious reasons. |
| Shino's final deliberation about her feelings, which also thinking about her relationship with Saki...to Mirika, this is all a farce to say that how can she hold back her feelings, knowing that she has hopelessly fallen in love with him since middle school. Sensing this, Mirika decides to give her a hand, forgoing her motive more than her co-conspirator's feelings knowing that she'll still get rejected anyways. Of course, Mirika just had to get Naoya and the rest to both girls, which Naoya (and Saki finally) knows, the ONLY literate way is to force her to tell the hard truth right then and there. She cannot run away this time, and after many tears, confesses with her sadness to be only met with rejection, which Saki definitely is shell-shocked about it...to console her best friend and forgive her for all that trouble. The problem is thereafter: Shino's rejection is causing awkwardness between everyone, but what's most important that she finally recognizes that her love for Naoya will never go away, even no matter of his two-timing between Saki and Minase...and she took on the biggest idiotic (but wise) decision ever: to challenge her own best friend to become his potential girlfriend. Welp...this is arrears for the 3-timing now for the chad MC. Both Naoya and Saki are visibly stunned by Shino's reaction heading back to their commune house, and said girl is already acting like a wife who wants to improve and complement her beloved, she's gonna chase after Naoya for real with all her heart, despite being already the lewdest of all, and having already done the deed before her. Oh God...that leaves Minase as the only potential girlfriend not having kissed him yet...and Mirika rubbing more salt to Minase's wounds, forcing both Saki and Shino to console her but to no avail. Good luck Minase...you're gonna need to push your effort the most now. You go girl Shino...you EASILY stole Season 2 as the MVP of the season! With that, welcome to Naoya's 3-timing! Now I want a Season 3 to continue and complete the manga adaptation...there is NO stopping now. |

| So glad that Shino was finally able to confess to Naoya and declare that she won't give up on him. I hope we get a third season soon |
| Shino joined the idiots hell yeah! I love how she did a complete 180 from the start of the season. A glorious final episode lmao I'm sorry, but I'm giving this a 9/10. I rate anime purely based on enjoyment, and I enjoyed the hell out of this trainwreck. SHINO IS THE CUTEST. SHINO BEST GIRL. I feel like this getting a season 2 was already a miracle, but let's go for a season 3 while you're at it! |
 |
| Ok, not a very strong 10, but when is the final 3th season now? |
| A pretty great and intense episode to conclude a very solid season! I really loved the scene in which Shino finally reveals her feelings to her best friend, and how Saki forgives her: it was a long time coming, and it felt like a lot of emotions got unleashed at once! I also really loved the scene in which she makes a real declaration of love to Naoya, it was super cute. And more than anything, through the whole episode Saki Saki reactions were hilarious and priceless :) Overall, I really enjoyed this season, a lot more than the first one actually: it feels like the story has reached its best point! And that's why I hope we'll get a third season soon! 7 for the whole season from me! |
| What is the insert song of this EP? |
 |
| End of Season 2! Ngl I LOVED this season. Too bad it's already over. :( We need Season 3 fast! This episode was so good. RieRi killed it as Shino. Still can't believe Shino is voiced by her. The other voice actors deserve praise too. Man, it's crazy how Shino did a total 180 of her character. But it makes perfect sense. I guess Mirika isn't THAT bad. If she was, Shino would've left. But I still bad about her deleting that photo. People do the dumbest thing out of emotions. It's crazy that Shino became a girlfriend before Mirika. I wonder how the future four-timing will work out... Feel a bit bad Nagisa. Because of her reserved character, she is the only girl who still didn't kiss Naoya despite getting many chances. The season finale was so good. I really hope we'll get a 3rd season. The manga is over so it shouldn't take too much time to come. Gonna miss this anime. |
| God, it managed to be funny even during the more dramatic scenes (I mean it in a good way) 8/10, still the best characters and best comedy of the "Kano trio" (Kanokano, Kanokari, 100kano) and who knows how much better it could have been if it didn't have the worst production value. A third season to fully adapt the manga is unlikely but who knows, the second season was also totally unexpected. |
| it was pleasant ti watch, i laughed now that she confessed, she was action with 0 restriction.... |
| PLEASE STOP RATING!!! less than 4 means that you don't know how to judge Anime / Manga!!! best recom on https://www.instagram.com/otakuweek?igsh=em5kY3Q4NTVtNXlh or Discord https://discord.gg/vbZrk64uH7 |
| Raaaah shino supremacy!! Proud of my baby for finally coming clean about her feelings, albeit with the help of Mirika pushing her into it. No mistakes or jokes this time, just straight up admitting she has a crush on Naoya. I love how Saki’s biggest surprise is that Naoya rejected Shino instantly and that the crush isn’t on her 😂 Nagisa is just in the back in awe. Bold of Shino to assert that if Naoya’s ok with two timing and still has love to give that she’s going to keep fighting, I like it! The only thing greater than Saki’s love for Naoya is her love for Shino, so if it’s to make her friend happy she’ll definitely support her. So many cute Shino faces in this one she’s so damn adorable and I’m glad the crisis is averted and she’s back with her friends. Things were already difficult enough with 3 girls after his attention , now he’s got a 4th. Naoya’s a lucky guy. Season 3 PLEASE. This was everything about the first season but even better with focus on best girl. Funny as hell from start to finish and the ridiculous dynamic we’ve all come to know and love |

| Shino is going full Kanojo mode! Soon the three-timing prince Naoya will rise from the sea of mere two-timers! Overall a great season, even if this is not very serious, at least we got some good development and Shino did confess for the finale! |
| It’s nice to see this Shino focused beach arc close out with a Shino focused episode, and I’m glad she finally managed to tell everyone her true feelings after hiding them all this time, but that wasn’t without the support from pretty much everyone including Milika lol. And I wasn’t quite sure what Saki’s reaction would be to hearing it, well I can definitely say I wasn’t disappointed lol, she went through a lot of emotions there. And after it seemed like we might not be seeing Shino at the house anymore, turns out she isn’t leaving and is instead supporting Naoya’s two-timing in hopes he’ll have time for her once he’s made Nagisa and Saki happy, that’s really wild lol, and she wasted no time indulging herself in Naoya including one of her classic sexy falls. And ending on the girls arguing about kisses was a great spot to end on, perhaps Nagisa will get her kiss one day, maybe in a 3rd season. And I’m so sad to say we’ve reached the end of the 2nd Season of this great show, the wait for this one felt so long but here we are already at the end, it was definitely a great follow-up to the first season. We got a lot more of Milika and Shino in this one since Season 1 had plenty of Saki and Nagisa, and Shino didn’t become part of the main cast till near the end so I really liked her getting more screen time especially, and she really did make this season something special, really loved all her moments and the development of her going from opposing the two-timing to supporting it and hoping to be part of it herself lol. And of course Milika was a lot of fun, she did some crazy things this season and never relented, despite how far she went sometimes I have to respect it. And of course the actual girlfriends, being Saki and Nagisa, were great as always, although I think we had a slight lack in Nagisa so hopefully if there’s ever a 3rd season she’ll get some more focus. As for a best girl this time around, I think I said Saki at the end of Season 1 but now I’m not sure lol, very hard to pick, but with a lot of other folks I think it might be Shino now, it’s hard not to love her after what we just saw lol. And they chose another banger OP and ED pair for this season to hold a candle to Season 1’s jams, I especially loved the ED for not just the song, but also the photo shoot visuals, I was especially a fan of the hippie shot lol. And now I just have to really really hope for a 3rd season, this show is too much fun and I’d hate to see it not get a complete adaptation, of course I’ll read the manga if we never see more of this but please let it happen! And as a final note, yes I liked this more than 100 Girlfriends all the way to the end, that show may be a blast but it can’t beat this one for me. |

| The manga is already over (before Season 2 anime was released), I finished reading the manga. And now Season 2 is finally over. Hopefully, there will be having Season 3. Rate:9/10 |
 |
| Shino is best girl for a reason, S3 would be nice if it happens but it's gonna have a lot of Rika angst and her being annoying so I am not looking forward to it that much. (the Shino parts will still be good!) |
| Hoping there'll be another Season 3 Announcement 🙌. RomCom Anime 😍 Shino-san I'm hoping next season she'll get more screen timing |

| the inferior harem of the season comes to an end. not a fan of shino and she got way too much screentime this season, which is why s1 is clear by default. |
 |
| The end of another harem romcom series this season. At the end, Shino revealed her true feelings, in front of Saki and Minase it must have been really hard for her. However, thanks to her persistence she succeeded, even though the result was that she was rejected by Naoya. But still, she is the best girl for me. It's really a very strong comedy romantic. And worthy of being one of the top harems ever. Also there might be a season 3, I think. |

Also does anyone know how much of the manga the anime has covered up until this point? Will we get a season 3? I need answers! PLEASE!
| @CARZOOt This is about 2/3 of the way through. Manga is finished so they can adapt the rest if there's enough momentum. @Ame3Is @Miyuki_1710 The name of the song is "Umi" but I am not talented enough to figure out who is singing it. You can see the song listed at 23:46. Hope they go all the way to the end. Hiroyuki is a madman. |
| hard to believe therere's no more after this ;((((((( ;-; wtf have to get to the manga someday |
 |
| I'm glad that Shino finally declared her feelings to everyone and I figured that Saki would've been (mostly) ok with that but Saki's misunderstanding that she thought Shino had a crush on her was hilarious! Really the only loser here was poor Nagisa whom hasn't had a kiss yet but that one should be next in some type of unique environment (doubt it can top Shino's kiss though lol). Between this and season 1 I found season 1 a bit better because I thought it was funnier and more over the top. Nonetheless I also enjoyed this season and thought the finale was pretty good. I understand the manga is done and that there's material for a season 3 so hopefully that happens. 8/10 |
| Mirika helping Shino in her own way was nice. And then laughed at her after she was rejected, she's such a little shit xD. Shino's confession scene was great. Serious, dramatic, funny at the right moments and with a Rie Takahashi who did a great job. And then Saki got mad at Naoya for rejecting Shino lmao. She even thought Shino was going to confess to her hahaha, I love this idiot. But Shino is not going to give up and is now on board with the harem! She's going to support the three of them and even bring accidental sexiness, so neither Naoya nor Saki can think of a reason to refuse. Now that everyone knows that Shino kissed Naoya (while she was naked) it means that Nagisa is the only one who hasn't kissed him yet... and she's mad. Nagisa pouting was so cute. Also, Saki hasn't given up on putting Shino in a maid swimsuit lol. Thank you author for blessing us a few weeks ago. Anyway, best girl goes to... Mirika. It's kind of funny what happens to me with the best girls. In the first season I remember I loved Mirika in the manga but Saki captivated me in the anime (Ayaneru <3), while in this second season, I remember Shino was my favorite in the manga and in the anime she's up there but I loved Mirika the most. I'm really going to miss this show. I have a special fondness for this series ever since the manga, I just love this group of idiots, it's so much fun to watch them interact and laugh with them. So, here's hoping for a third season, I need to see this story animated to the end! |

| @NTAD Thank you very much, I forgot about the end credit. The song "Umi by Hikikari Codama" who did the OP. |

| Very fun show. Definitely will miss it. Hope season 3 is announced relatively soon. |
| Finally shino switch has been turned on lmao. Thanks Mirika for pushing her. Really enjoyed this, although it would be better if this sequel happen directly after the s1. 8/10 enjoyement. Also banger ED Hope the movie finale is announced for decisive conclusion since the manga already ended. |

| Good ending episode. We need season 3! 6/10 |

| Man, Shino switched on like this was too good. God darn, Mukai-kun's going to fall for her, for sure. Dude's way too freakin' lucky, he's got the brains and money covered now too. Must be a liberated feeling now that she's able to let those feelings out and capitalising on it, as we speak. Poor Sakisaki cannot catch a break, meanwhile. At least she landed a few punches and squeezes in to save her sanity. Nagisa-chan is definitely falling behind in the kiss race, can't wait for that to come over! Pouting Minase-san, that's a treat for the eyes. All things said, Mirika did end up giving a hand, certainly more than she'd to, so that's nice to see as well, ig lol. She's enjoying the pure chaos just as much as us, lmao. The more chaotic this show gets, the better it becomes. While I do have to admit that the Shino drama dragged on a bit but the end result is so fine that I don't even mind that much. Season 3, when? Seriously. Another solid 8/10. |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni  |
| Shino's finally onboard, love her. She ain't gonna hold back either. SakiSaki having mixed feelings was hilarious, poor girl. Nagisa pouting was cute. RIP Mirika btw. Shino episodes are peak so loved this season and need more of her. |
MegamiRemDec 25, 2023 7:58 AM
 |
| Shino 180 degree character change aha. Well guess she's officially in the harem now. I wish it had the same energy as season 1 though 6/10 |
 |
| AOTY and AOTS damn And of of riery's best Sieyuu performance's. damn Now that the cat is out of the bad things seems to be spiraling like crazy damn... Shino Is so fucking cute now that she is not holding back. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| I'm glad that Shino finally told her true feeling in front of everyone, although that moment did take a huge amount of effort from herself, including the different ways of support she got, especially from Mirika, whose approach, while harsh, did contribute to Shino finally getting over that hurdle once and for all. She did get rejected from Naoya, but being able to voice out her feelings towards him did help to lift a huge weight off from her shoulders. That much was apparent the next day where Shino, despite getting rejected, still hoped that she would become Naoya's girlfriend. That charm offensive continued when everyone went back home from Okinawa, where Shino was all over him, although it was there that she finally revealed to Saki that she kissed Naoya during that incident, which led to Saki decking Naoya, but also made Nagisa depressed as she's the only girl to not kiss Naoya. Her pout face did crack me up, admittedly! XD Overall, this second season continues to solidify how much I enjoyed this series. It'll never score decently well here on MAL, but in terms of pure enjoyment, this series ranks pretty high, where other superior scoring series would struggle to replicate. I do hope we get a 3rd season in the future if possible. |
| Dang Shino's confession was heartbreaking. I was also expecting the MC to accept her into the harem but he's a man of his word. He's a two timer and a two timer only. But that doesn't stop her from pledging undying loyalty towards MC and the girls. Interesting way to end the season. Can't wait for season 3 and more spicy drama harem trash. |
