While beginning with continuing the train of light-hearted daily life antics, this season quickly moves into more heavy statements regarding anxieties relating to the fates of the main cast with Yui at the center of this focus. Yui's character becomes less emphasized for her comedic and mood-lightening personality and more for her incongruity with the expectations of modern society and problems staying on page with her peers. This element is interwoven tightly with all the daily antics and subplots, with episode 9 providing the most explicit and heavy address of Yui's friction with others as she finds herself alone and ironically connecting more to her old woman neighbor while her peers are focused on school tests. This tension is also interwoven with the music, as both the entire last school live performance and the song U&I provide a bitter sweet pathos to Yui's character and situation.
