| New OP song is great imo, stylish and well chereographed. A new semester and Kyoutarou has a broken arm. It looks like the anime will find any possible way to pair him up with Anna under any circumstances. Very amusing really. Kyoutarou and Anna's relationship is more or less the same. Both their personaliteis are how I remember it from the previous season They do seem more closer now tha they know each other more. Anna's excitement this episode is kinda adorable though, given her personality. It was cute to see her in home econ class and just being herself. |

| The best romcom from last year, Bokuyaba, is back with even more cuteness. I honestly didn't think they could top last season's opening, but Atarayo really surprised me with this amazing one. It's an absolute banger. Visuals are amazing as well. And Kohana Lam's ED is just pure sweetness. An amazing OST once again. Finally, the third term began, but Ichikawa, who had a broken arm, was leading a somewhat inconvenient student life. Despite the suggestion of assistance from Yamada, who had a good relationship with the homeroom teacher, Ichikawa casually refused, saying, "It's not about being close." Unfortunately, Yamada overheard that conversation. Ichikawa was in a panic, but on the other hand, Yamada subtly supported him, having asked their classmate Adachi for help. Feeling Yamada's kindness once again, Ichikawa expressed a small part of the emotions he had been suppressing to Yamada. This episode felt a bit different compared to most of season one. Even though all the events happened in a single day, there were more noticeable breaks in how scenes ended, making it feel a bit more segmented. That might be why this episode seemed longer than it actually was. This episode covers a lot of ground, from clearing up simple misunderstandings to Ichikawa realizing that more people might pick up on the relationship between him and Yamada. It's just a small thing, though – at worst, a nitpick. If you enjoyed season one, this episode probably won't leave you with any major complaints. As per usual, I really enjoyed the simple background music; it added a nice touch to the characters' moments of anxiety. Even with so many romcoms this season, this one still stands out for me. It's definitely going to be one of my favorites on Saturdays. |

| Really really glad to see this series back, as I mean this was the best thing which came out in its own season last year. If we adapted things properly, we might see the real thing this season itself. Though that being that, I love how right off the bat dude faced misery… … I mean with his hand being broken, and him being incapacitated, it goes without saying teacher would ask him to take help from one of his friends for the stuffs and sort, and friends being a foreign term for him plus him being conscious about how people would think about him, didn’t take Yamada’s name.Though then, Yamada giving him a “cold-shoulder” thereafter was priceless. They did make up, but seeing these two act that way was hilarious. Also, these kids lol. Porn magazines and all is fine, but leave Yamada out of it. Again, fun and all was fine, where if anything their relationship is becoming more and more obvious to the outsiders like Hara, seeing Yamada feeling bad for Ichikawa’s accident after knowing how it came to be was kinda sad. She feeling responsible for that… can’t really blame that thought process. Though hey they found that Akita inu in the end, so we all smiles. A very nice comeback already. OP is some music to ears, with those visuals. |
| BokuYaba is back for Round 2, and it's more of Ichikawa and Yamada's affections! Atarayo's OP is a decent follow-up, though it CANNOT top Yorushika's fantastic Season 1 OP. Kohana Lam's 2nd ED song is also fine, though I prefer her Season 1's ED. Kyotarou Ichikawa, Anna Yamada and friends are back for the new school term, though the former is fractured on his left arm and needs help...the least of which is requesting for Yamada's help, which she overheard because of his foul mouth. And Yamada having Adachi to pass his notes to him, at least he's expendable that way, even though she knew that he didn't mean it, and proceeded to take care of him. With the guys figuring out that Yamada is a model, Ichikawa runs his mouth of the guys talking behind her back, being part of Lemonzaka. It's Home Ec class as Yamada keeps screwing up and being passed out, converging together with Ichikawa and Hara's group, discussing about what they did during their Winter break, though when it comes to both Ichikawa and Yamada, Hara defintely got her answer. Ichikawa definitely had first dibs, but the Shina Inu Akita keychain, that confirms her suspicions all the more. But when Ichikawa brought up how he broke his arm for her, Yamada isn't all that happy, with the other girls of her clique realizing that she's different. Even worse, her Akita Kentaro keychain is missing, which in the piling snow is hard to find, but Ichikawa goes for gold whilst the others like Hara and Kanzaki helping her to find. And in the midst, Moeko helping Ichikawa lead him to her house (she's best winggirl BTW)...which also leads to her keychain being hung on a tree branch as a pick-up point. With the cold, Yamada inviting Ichikawa to her place to warm up...is he already hitting more than just a mere relationship? Coming back home to more romance fruitfulness! |

| Fantastic to have this back, and we're already off on a high here! Yamada-san finding out that the injury was her fault and Kyotaro trying to rectify it to some extent by finding the keychain while being assisted by Moeka-san, that's a lot for a romcom's introductory episode! And boy, the next episode should be interesting too. Hara-san and Kanzaki-kun's relationship seems to be progressing, which is also good to see. She's definitely figured them out better than either have themselves yet. Spending the Christmas Eve and Hatsunode together - That's not a hard guess though, I suppose, xD. Also, I really liked that small detail of Yamada-san requesting Adachi-kun to share his notes with Ichikawa because her handwriting is supposedly not eligible. Thankfully, that misunderstanding with the sensei didn't stick around for long either. Atarayo-san's tracks are always up there but Shayou has a special heart, it'll take me a bit more time to warm up to this one. Visual-wise, it's definitely a step up and that little sequence of the characters dancing in the classroom is very sweet. ED meets the vibe check too, very similar cozy vibes like last year's. |

| So happy to have this back, was looking forward to it so much and that was such a great way to start the season. Anna and Kyotaro stuff were so sweet. Anna taking care of him was so cute, the last part with them finding the keychain was so wholesome, loved em. Kana chan looked so cute in yukata btw. Moeko was great too. New OP/ED are so good, specially the visuals. |

| Let's goooo finally this is out! I was so happy when this was announced. This OP is so beautiful, I can't The animation is insanely good hooooly Btw Yamada is flipping the pages in the opposite direction because in Japan books are written in the traditional style, top-to-bottom, right-to-left (inherited from Chinese, just like kanji). Literally grabbed my head when I realized that now Yamada feels responsible for Ichikawa's broken arm. The "karte" moments are the best. The ED is such a masterpiece too. This has to be one the best first episode in terms of enjoyment so far this season for me (but it's a sequel, so it's a bit unfair to compare them like this). The characters, the interactions, a bit of drama, the visuals, everything was fantastic. I love this so much T_T. Thank god this got popular in Japan. |
 |
| I love how they went all out for this season. That was such a well done OP!! I kept replaying it instead of continuing lol. Took a little depressing turn in between but we already get to experience so many different emotions in the first episode. |
| So great to see Yamada and Ichikawa again I've missed these two and can't wait to see what happens this season |
| Ichikawa and Yamada lighting up my day once again, i'm so excited this is back. |
| He's a brooding edgelord, she's a snack-loving airhead, and together they fight crime give you diabetes. Glad to have these two back for another season. Right out the gate we got some drama with Ichikawa being afraid to ask for help, Yamada blaming herself for breaking his arm last season, and the disappearance of the dog keychain. But even while crippled, Ichikawa still wants to do what he can to make Yamada happy. Chad in the making? Here's to more comfy times with this anime! |

| Glad this show is back, oh how I missed this. Yamada waiting for Ichikawa to say why he said that to the teacher and then admitting he actually prefers if Yamada is the one to help him was cute. Also must say what a wingwoman Moeko is. Good to see things going well between Hara and Kenta as well. |
| is it the home alone with the girl i like thing because i dont think my boy ichikawa can live through that he would die at the spot |
 |
| Great start to a new season. Also the ED singer sounded so familiar and it turns out it was Kohana Lam! |
 |
| i was already in love but today, i really enjoyed every sec we can see that the relationship changed,ichikawa trying is best to do more... can't wait to watch the next episode... |

| WE ARE SO BACK BABYYYYYYYYY |
| A very strong start to a series I really loved last year, glad to have this back this soon and I know this is going to be one of the best shows of this year too with season 2. Loads of segments took place but each one was really good and just showcased how good Yamada and Ichikawa are together. Whether they have little fights like at the start, to helping each other (Yamada with Ichikawa and his broken arm, and Ichikawa with Yamada and the keychain he gave her), and even their general interactions with some little flirting from Yamada's side. Even with Ichikawa's arm being broken, he still did what it took to look for Yamada's keychain to cheer her up cause even the little things that he has given her, you can tell how much she cherishes it. Good to see him grow more out of his shell a bit. He was shy at first when speaking with the teacher about her being a friend, but when the going got tough for Yamada emotionally, he was there to do his best to help her out and he successfully did by the end (with a little bit of coincidence). Everything is really enjoyable to watch and I know that this season is going to deliver consistent, wholesome and enjoyable episodes throughout. |
| The interactions between Ichi and Yamada are always a sight to behold. Good to have them back. |
| I liked the first Season OP the best but ,this one is good too. What you wont do for the person you love? Look Ichikawa participating in a flash mob, because Yamada probably asked. Yamada be like:"Wow! Who is this person is this magazine?" Moeko isn't a wingman, she is a whole plane. And Hara is great too. |
 |
| Judging by their faces, they're already warming up quite well right there in the snow. :P |
 |
| The opening is a banger. This show already had great animation but I swear it looks even better with this season |
| Wow.. perfect feels like an understatement to describe this episode.. it was so incredible. They really went all out for the OP, it is gorgeous. Ichikawa and Yamada already making so much progress in episode 1, I can't wait for the rest of this season |
| My heart is melting! β¨ βοΈ Here’s to another fantastic season (yay, 13 episodes this time)! |

| I saved the best for last on this stacked Saturday, so happy to see Season 2 of one of my favorite anime from 2023 so soon, it may feel like it’s been a while but really it hasn’t been, but I’m really happy to have it back. And once again the art and animation is beautiful, I’m glad they’re maintaining the quality from the first season so far, and the first episode itself was a banger. It was a little upsetting seeing Yamada and Ichikawa have a misunderstanding so early in the episode but it got resolved within 5 minutes, and it was cute how Yamada revealed that she already knew what she was trying to get Ichikawa to admit lol. And we also found out that Yamada is trying to be an idol, now that would really be something, you know I’d be a Yamada stan lol, perhaps this is something that will play out more as we go. I also enjoyed the cooking class bit with Hara, and I noticed that Yamada had an apron that said “cute dog”, not as good as “Cooking Boy” from “Haven’t You Heard? I’m Sakamoto” but still a good apron lol. And that last bit where Ichikawa tried to find Yamada’s matching keychain on his own only to find out it was in a tree with the help of Yamada was a splendid place to end on, really loved the snowy backdrop for that scene too. And damn that was a very nice OP, even had some dancing in there which caught me off guard lol, but the song slaps for sure. And I’m glad the artist is the same for the ED this time too and it’s another very nice song, only time will tell if I end up liking these more, less or the same as the previous season’s songs. And just like that we’re back, can’t wait to see if this season goes beyond Season 1’s heights! |
| The “other sites” have the video broken and it’s playing an episode from season 1 instead π |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Picking up right where we left off. There is something about the timing of this episode and it being the new year that adds a bit more to it. Oh boy, peak romcom is back on the menu, ppl! |
| So this is how you start a season huh |
 |
| Oh no, Anna only had one fry instead of 2 so something must be wrong lol. It's nice to have this romcom back and it picked up right where it left off with Ichikawa's broken arm and later on Anna feeling responsible for causing it. Towards the end Anna lost the dog-chain souvenir but because of Moeko's text she came out to see Ichikawa which then led to Ichikawa noticing it hanging on a tree due to having to look up at her. Great start to the 2nd season π |
| well, this is back. not bad for a first episode. |
