I hope this series is 25 episodes because there is enough material available to do it but after that, the 2nd season finishes you would need at least 2 to 3 years to have a proper 3rd season with 20+ episodes, less years for a shorter season, so that could work too.

I'm just hoping the anime doesn't divert away from the manga because there are no English translations or summaries for chapters between50 to 83, only RAWs. RAWs are good to a certain point but sometimes you can never really make out what's really happening.

This is really great! 1st season ended like a cliffhanger.

The whole Arata problem is basically the only issue holding the show back. Remove him (at least as a romantic option) and you have greatness. Oh well, being Taichi is suffering. Still a really good show.

I feel you, shipping Chihaya/Taichi feels like fighting a losing battle from the start.
But it won't dim the enjoyment for me ^^.

Im ready to raise up the frustration bar to the max, once again, due to Chihaya an her damn obsession with that bastard of Arata and her cold attitude toward Taichi.

Thats said, fuck you Arata, damn you Chihaya, you are damn blind.

I love the series however.

Now I can start hoping for a third season.

I second that. we need more shoujo anime. NEED MOAR SHOUJO ANIME (yes, I know its in a josei magazine but it seems quite shoujo to me)

Indeed, this looks quite shoujo, anyway, yes, me too, we need way more shoujo.

Ohh, can't wait. I just hope that we don't get that many new characters and that more time is spent following the charas we've come to love ^^

Oh my goodness. One series that truly deserves a second season. It's not just because there wasn't really an ending, but because it was that good.

Well, I couldn't agree more. This series fully deserved a continuation because of it's high quality. Also, the ending of the 1st season will not remain open anymore :D
