Episode 26

Everyone's Reactions

He finally gathers the courage to confess his feelings to Chinatsu-senpai under the evening sky, but then this random guy pops up and completely changes the flow. It’s like, seriously? I didn’t even remember his name was Matsuoka, so when he suddenly appeared, I was like 'Wait, who is this guy?' And on top of that, the past girl with the dead eyes gets involved too. Too many obstacles in just one episode! I almost shouted out loud. Chinatsu-senpai’s line about her 'suspicious face' really hits home as a killer phrase. She says it so casually, but it clearly packs a punch for the person hearing it. There are also those little details, like how Yokomura-kun can be such a buzzkill, which keeps you on edge while watching. Even though Episode 26 is technically the first episode of Season 2, the pacing feels great and sets up a nice sense of tension for the new season. Yuka’s appearance was also really realistic—it reminded me that sometimes outsiders can see things more clearly than the people involved themselves. They say Chinatsu-senpai’s character depth increases in Season 2, so it looks like things are about to get even more interesting. Aiko’s OP is so青春 (youthful) and emotional—perfect. The title 'No. 1 Fall Anime' feels well-deserved, and I’m so excited to see if I can keep up with this high energy every week!
