Just when I thought I escaped this, it came back, [just like Kizuki.](https://i.imgur.com/t9xEwsr.jpeg) I know I'm probably not going to get the outcome I want with this, but I can't stop. I must be a masochist. *I just really like the character interactions.*

I know they’re really pushing Mizuha x Kizuki, but I like Shin. Guy’s a lot more levelheaded and mature than Kizuki. Kizuki basically got the girl and then screwed it up and ghosted everyone for years. Now he’s back and what? trying to rekindle things? Nah bro, it’s Shin’s time! lol

Props to Mizuho for **finally** making her feelings clear and decisive, and giving her first consensual kiss, even if it ended once again in heartbreak judging by the future.

Mizuho had a VERY active love life in her teenage years...and it's arguably just as turbulent in "present day" 2030 whether she knows it or not.

The OP features the Koigahama Gang all living their lives in the present-day, with Kizuki looking PRETTY depressed, though it seems like Mizuho might try to chase after that youthful sparkle yet again.

I love how the best way to bring Shin out of a nap is getting a call from Mizuho. In fact, seeing that Kizuki isn't in the picture any more, it seems like he might be shooting his shot again. What else would he have wanted to talk to Mizuho about after the festival?

Shugo and Airu definitely also have their own opinion on Kizuki ghosting them all...apparently he got injured? And then basically vanished for three years? What the heck happened Kizuki!? How could you do Mizuho like that!? And all his friends want to give him a stern talking to and probably more when they see him again.

Meanwhile back in the past, Kizuki is still as committed as ever to both swimming and winning Mizuho's heart, even if Mizuho isn't making it easy for him. Will she ever return his feelings? Will he forever be nothing more than just a friend to her? And where will that leave them with the gangs' Christmas Party?

Props to Shugo and Airu for working to get the party going, even if they have concerns with whether all of them will be there...but hey, Shin showed up! But Kizuki and Mizusho? No-shows!

2030 Mizuho looks good in a yukata! Too bad all the rest of the gang are busy and couldn't come home for the festival. But that might've been for the best...for when Mizuho finally sees Kizuki again in the flesh.

But what about past Kizuki? He's in a funk and avoiding the Christmas Party, and yet Mizuho comes to his room...AND KISSES HIM. That's right! Mizuho, of her own volition, kissed Kizuki! And as the rest of their friends are probably wondering where they are, the two of them then proceed to engage in a passionate makeout session!

And yet as their teenage selves are finally culminating their feelings, 2030 Mizuho is still reeling from the pain of Kizuki abandoning her. Even if it seems like he's finally ready to explain WHY, she doesn't want to hear it and runs from him. Just as they're coming together, they're also coming apart.

We actually have ED animation this go-around! With cute art of everybody and pictures of all the good times they've had together as a group! Culminating in them all together again as adults.

Welcome back everyone 😭

We are finally back!

ahhh a shojo finally getting a second season pretty quickly after the first glad it’s back not sure if I’m ready cause kizuki u got me f*cked up for not being in contact

If anyone has read operation true love I hope it’s not like that lol

Wait omg I’m really hoping for the full adult scenes now??

Well looks like the budget for background increased a little? Lmao

Oh they are planning something or shes gonna run into kizuki. Okay maybe not w shin

Shes def gonna run into him

DAMN I was right. Wtf is he doing there. He better not be an asshole

Oh dang it back to teen, well it makes sense cause we need to see why he left lol

If you want to spend all that time and get married the what happened !!!!

Omg she kissed him !!

Atp kizuki basically cursed her by leaving lmao

Explain yourself man

Hell yeah girl you tell him I’m glad she stood up for herself

Out of all the anime that deserves a second season this deserved a second season the least. Yet I watch this garbage

Ah mr. Toxic swimmer strikes back, wonder if the manga already ended she probably ends with mizuki...

Kizuki better have a good excuse for ghosting her for 3 years!! If they started dating in high school, and seem to broke up 3 years ago from the future, they were together for 7 years?

This shit is so ass bro. I'm invested from season 1 but i'm already sure this is gonna be a hate watch for me. also wtf are those subs. SYUGO??????

The romance was definitely romancing in this episode 😊

Oh right this happened last season.

Lol that name got him to wake up immediately.

So, she made him lunch.

Oh right Kizuki.

Guess he just disappeared.

I'm sure there's enough of him to go around for all of you to get a turn.

So much for going to the festival with everyone.

Well, that's definitely a valid reason.

Seems she got her hopes up for nothing.

Or not, is she seeing things or is that him?

Somehow, Kizuki returned.

And so, back to a few years ago.

Jewelry?

So much for that...

And so she's at his place.

He kissed her!

je déteste Kizuki je sais déjà que je vais rager tout le long de la saison

I refuse to watch season 2 of this because the first season infuriated me so much. But somehow I'm still interested in how the mess ends? So I'll be reading the comments in the episode threads. I look forward to your commentary!!

As a bonafide Kizuki hater, your comments tell me my hate for him will only increase base on the most recent episode, lol.

It's amazing 2030 is only 4 years away, it's not a science fiction type year...

Aaaahhh my guilty pleasure is back! Hi guys!

This season is looking considerably better than the first. And the story is getting interesting too. I'm still Team Shin and he's obviously not going to win which is a bummer. 


I felt less annoyed with Kizuki in the flashback than I used to. He's still a bit too pushy and demanding, but Mizuho was unequivocally into it this time so whatever. 


Was surprised she finally called out his selfishness in the present (future?). Fully expected her to pick up where they left off. But seems like where they left off is not what we've seen so far. Looks like something else went down after this injury of his. Did he really just up and vanish? But she said their relationship ended. Did she mean it ended because he went AWOL? Or did they actually break up before that? 


Guess I'm watching this again as frustrating as it sometimes tends to get.

I love this show. It really reminds me of the Reply series (kdrama) with the coming of age flashbacks and not knowing who she ends up with in the present.

Anyway, I’m excited for Kisuki’s upcoming grovelling!

Are you guys binge watching or weekly watching this
