The dad is a gamer that can barely communicate and is actually awkward though he seems terrifying to others. What did the author mean by this?

Cute and hilarious at the same time. The father is of course a total Chad but utterly socially awkward.

The best episode of the season, which doesnt mean much. Still not good enough to keep me going. I was thinking about not even starting this season, but S1 ended on a good note, so I decided to give it another chance. Turns out, it merely continues the decline it was on towards the end of S1 (with the exception of EP 12).

Therefor, I'll keep my review short. It's pretty much the same as for S1. They reduced the horny and cringy moments a bit, but they are still there. And aside from 1 or 2 emotional moments from Anna, the show is just boring.

A very generic rom-com with one big downside. 3/10.


On a funny note, I still don't get what people see in this - which I usually do, even for most of my 2s and 3s. Is it so great to self-insert into Anna's future boyfriend?

Anyway, I need to go find a highly rated show I actually like now, so restore my faith in humanity. Or rather, the anime comunity.

@Johntyson31 Incidentally, Spy X Family is the 4th best anime I've ever seen.

Also, love to see you attack my taste over me saying I dislike the show. U probably the kind a kid who takes every opinion diffrent from yours as a personal offense.

If this show is generic to you, then I'm curious what rom-com you consider not generic...

You don't get it, or you don't want to get it. It's fine. You don't have to like it. Just move along and watch something else. No need to make condescending assumptions about the viewers who love the show.

I really hope we see more of Ichikawa and Yamada's dad hanging out. Them playing games together would be cute especially since Ichikawa doesnt have any male friends. Speaking of, its so nice to see Ichikawa getting along with the rest of the girls like friends. He can more casually talk to them now.

I'm surprised by Yamada's mam as her first reaction was negative but she seems fine with everything as it seems she's figured it all out.

Anything that goes beyond the basic formula. Which is the two main characters meeting, having a series of romantic interaction and inner monologues until they finally realize their mutual feelings which were obvious since the very beginning. This continues as they make progress with holding hands, kissing, confessing and so on.

So in order to separate from the generic rest, a show just has to put up anything unique. Be it Shikimori-san with the already exsisting couple & focus on friendship, Kaguya-sama's Narrator gags, WataOshi's Isekai setting... Even Nagatoro, which can be generic at times, has a lot of iconic moments in the artstyle and the teasing comedy from Nagatoro and her friends.

In this case I just don't get it. "Don't want to get it" is, in my case, for shows like Akiba Maid War or Jujutsu Kaisen's most recent Arc, where I'm quite aware what the people like about it and wish I wasn't.

And on that note, I didn't mean to be condescending. There are shows that very much work around self-inserting and that is okay. I'm just not sure if this is one of them and if that is the reason it's popular.

I see where you're coming from, but BokuYaba is not generic at all in that regard. Yamada is *not* in love with Ichikawa for at least six episodes and Ichikawa realizes his feelings just at the end of ep. 3. If the show truly were as generic as you think it is, it wouldn't have become that popular in just its first season. I all comes down to execution and believability. The progression of their relationship feels natural and fresh. They start out as classmates, then as friends, then they make a step further and become an unofficial couple, and so on. It's the journey and all its little details which are interesting and unique, at least to me, and I'm all in it.

The shows you cited like Shikimori and Nagatoro are certainly entertaining but ultimately less interesting to me because I've seen similar premises with the "strong girl, weak boy" archetype elsewhere (especially in manga form) & they are way more based on self-inserting than BokuYaba (Sempai in Nagatoro f.e. doesn't even have a real name!) and Kaguya-sama's Narrator gags is the kind of tsukomi boke humor which I'm not be biggest fan of.

AH right I keep forgetting he is just a kid, his balls barely have any pubes on em kek, but for a kid he is slowly getting his manhood. His meeting with her parents is awkard as any given meeting with parents, shit never gets unawkard.

Damn, that was eventful. Valentines day is coming and chocolate is going to be made, and at Yamada's place.

Turns out her father is a giant, and the one that Ichikawa bumped into before.

Ichikawa also realises in this episode that he wants to be Yamada's boyfriend.

This is so sweet that it's probably not good for my health!

The moment I saw the shirt of the dad, I knew he's one of us, gamers rise! xD
Now I understand why Yamada wanted Ichikawa to be there and taste the chocolate, but I really think he did not fit there at all. Moeko's lie made the whole thing even worse, but I'm glad it got resolved in the end. I really like the other girl though, who got mad while making chocolate, she seems quite reasonable.

I love her friends, they're so supportive.

Her parents were so quick to get attached to Ichikawa lol, the way they all gathered on the sofa was cute.

I really love Ichikawa's development and am so glad we get him as the MC of this show. He's so much better than 90% of male leads in other romcoms, he's constantly facing and acknowledging his own feelings and then act on it.

The whole part about him knowing he isn't gonna change his mind but being worried or thinking that she will was very real and honestly hit very close to home. I'm loving this anime. Also Yamada's dad was awesome lol

It is the Valentine's Day episode so get ready for chocolates and lots of misunderstanding/comedic scenes.

Anna invites the girls and Kyotaro to her place to do make chocolates. However his presence in the house kinda perturbs Anna's mother.

It's really satisfying to see how far ichikawa's character has come, he went from imagining killing yamada to accept the fact that he is in love with her.

Papa yamada built like titan and voiced by armored titan lol, Anna was right when she said her dad is kind of like him since both of them had this unapproachable vibe but in reality they're good guy who were misunderstood by their appearance.

Ichikawa's sister letting her imagination running wild by thinking that her brother is a harem king who got an entire girls group as his personal harem was funny lol, if ichikawa were to look like Kimi iro-octave MC than he might get his own harem ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

last episode was not really for me but this returned to the usual good levels. Anna's father was the giant man, called it, and somehow expected him to not turn out as completely scary, but not watching him as a gamer that bonded with Ichikawa exactly for this reason... the PSX logo buttons on his clothes are a nice touch too.

Moeko accidentally made a tense situation even tenser, but somehow it was solved. Impressive ending too.

As soon as he appeared I was ready for Yamadad to grill our boy on why he had his daughter's jacket on while leaving his building the other day. After finding out he's actually super chill I figured he just didn't mind, but his conclusion of Ichimura coincidentally sharing his surname is way funnier lmao.

Serina is a real one even if she unintentionally made it look like she was a little too passionate about making chocolates.

I think Ichikawa has finally become (or is about to) the mc this story needed. He has accepted his feelings and has a goal. I like his attitude, he is now more mature and is willing to push forward in order to achieve what he wants. This was a great episode that showcases his growth throughout the series. Great episode.
