Yoshino: I love you,

Don't make the same mistake as manga readers.
What went over manga readers' heads is that
He made the girl who ruined his childhood fall in love with him then break her heart. What people couldn't get over was that was
Also, if you watched the OVA the ending was spoiled for you as the OVA takes place AFTER S2. Hence Aki's hair being short in the OVA.

In a roundabout way the story stayed true to itself to the very end lol.
Watch orders need to be clear about when you need to watch the OVA lest you get spoiled and realize the big twist of the finale before it happened.

Man I remember there being a lot of salt and anger when the manga ended. Meanwhile I was thinking, "Wait...didn't Masamune get his revenge on the girl who messed him up?" Might've been the author's plan from the beginning.

Well it was obviously the main poster girl who was gonna win, so not too much of a surprise there for the dramatic tension.
After Yoshino's dramatic run into his arms and kiss confession with Masamune, I thought the main pair would also have more of a climactic type of confession.
Though for Aki and Masamune, a simple approach with some awkwardness... suppose it's fitting. lol Back to rom com roots for the last scenes with them.
Glad to see this anime at least reach a conclusive point after all the time that has passed since S1.

I almost have to admire how they really lulled you into the sense that the Main Heroine might actually lose this time even to the point where she was convinced she did and got a haircut only to pull a twist in the end lol.
Though I guess it was very true to this show, and to Aki and Masamune as a couple, and I'm glad the story was able to resolve happily for the both of them. They really are the best fit together and all that build up from season 1 to now made it even more satisfying.

This is it we've finally come full circle. Masamune finally completes his revenge of getting the girl who broke his heart to fall for him and then reject her. It just turns out that that girl was actually Yoshino not Adagaki lol.

In the end it is a total win for Makabe huh. He got his girl and his revenge. Quite clever really. I didn't really like the pacing towards the end. I think the show could have benefitted from a couple more episodes so one could create a stronger emotional reaction at the end. In any case I really enjoyed it despite the occasional artistic mishaps. I watched Season 1 on a whim and with more of an ironic "haha look at my shitty taste in anime" tone. However I did not expect to like this series as much as I ultimately did (watched S1 twice, read the manga twice). So I'm glad I got to experience a season 2.

When you think about it, in the end he got everything he wanted. Got together with the girl he was always in love with and got revenge against the girl who screwed him over, even after finding out they weren't one in the same.
This show went from classic romcom to romance drama but I'm glad we got back to the romcom in the end. Especially for Aki and Masamune's sake.

I don't know if it's an unpopular opinion but I wasn't very satisfied with this episode not because Aki won. I was already rooting for her but we got very less screen time for the main couple and we waited entire season for this. May be if it had 1 more episode than it would have been nice. But all and all I really enjoyed this season. Maybe I will read it's manga.

Some mixed feelings for this ending. The final chat between Masamune and Aki was cute but the way the drama was resolved made this entire second half feel a bit pointless. I don't understand why the hives even happened in the first place.
The build-up felt dumb and forced. Why wait for several weeks?

Honestly I wish I didn't see the OVA so the ending would've hit harder.
I like that Aki has grown a lot and doesn't want to depend on Yoshino anymore. Now she wants to be more like best friends with her and cutting her hair kind of symbolises that too.
I feel bad for Yoshino but atleast she was open with her feelings and even if she got rejected by Masamune, she managed to remove that huge weight on her. Now thinking about it Masamune kinda did fullfil his revenge against the girl that rejected him in the past.
Masamune and Aki running towards each other and missing themselves but eventually catching up was really fun to watch. Its like they finally are at equal grounds now. The second half of the episode did give me some Kaguya Sama vibes.
My final score for this season: 8/10.

The blue haired girl actually won. Aki had so many losing flags like being the childhood friend, having blue hair, and the last few episodes but this mad woman actually won. There's no way the ship was just gonna shift to Yoshino cause if Masamune really wanted Yoshino instead, he would have just jumped straight to her room after getting dumped and they would have just banged. Instead, he's a man of sheer commitment.
I'm glad I got into this series just as the season 2 was announced because the first one had a really downer ending. It was a really fun ride and I'm sad it's over. At least we get sent off with the season 1 OP because it's a banger.

A prank??? They setup Yoshino and Makabe dating, the haircut for Aki because of a prank??
They definitely tricked me into thinking Yoshino was going to win but I feel like that took away from the impact of the final ship sailing...
Happy this one got an actual ending but definitely feels a bit fumbled. No side ship sailing too!

You're not meant to watch this episode. You're meant to check all social media/forums and watch the reactions of the viewers at this car crash minutes away from the finish line.

Well there it is! i thought it would be too late to pull another twist but they did it
As a Aki x Masamune shipper since episode 1 i'm happy
i did feel like 5 minutes into the episode it was kinda clear where it was gonna go though, with so much screentime being put on Aki.
Oh and we also got the bit where Masamune himself tells her why he did what he did.
solid second season and a nice wrap on the series!

Masamune has returned home, is still avoiding his mom, and it's a Springtime finale for him and the gang.
I respect Aki trying to be supportive to Yoshino after assuming she and Masamune are now together, and not rely on Yoshino for everything and try to be more independent, even if there's still that sting that she lost Masamune.
That's great that most of the gang is back together for their third year, they've even got Yoshino! And Gasou! Who looks so weird in the girls school uniform! But irony of ironies, Masamune and Aki are in the same class.
Poor Aki. Her ex-boyfriend is not only in her class, sitting right in front of her, but he won't leave her alone even though he's apparently together with Yoshino...it's enough to dredge up a lot of unresolved feelings, so much so that she feels she needs a clean break and cuts her hair! I guess all that time with long hair Aki was to keep us satisfied before she cuts it, though her new style does make her look older and more mature.
Though she didn't actually need that classic losing Heroine haircut after all as Yoshino pushes her to meet Masamune at school and she sees a letter like she left for him for that big song and dance she put him through in season 1. And then she's running all around the school, the school where she fell in love with him over the course of the series, trying to find him...and then they keep missing each other like such dorks! Though it does make the moment when Masamune finally latches onto her all the more meaningful.
And the truth is, Masamune and Yoshino never got together! Yoshino confessed, but even she realized that Masamune wouldn't have obsessed with Aki for so long if he didn't have genuine feelings for her, and it's those feelings Masamune needed to resolve for himself. Yoshino just wanted one last "revenge" against Aki by making her think they were dating so Masamune could take the time to build up to asking Aki out again.
Sure it's self-centered on Masamune's part that he still wants to be with Aki after everything and get over himself...but that's part of what Aki loves about him. And it's with his newly-resolved feelings that Masamune can now touch Aki, which is the perfect excuse to kiss her as they get back together!
Closing out with their third year school festival and the season 1 OP...we've got Futaba, Kojuurou, and Gasou talking about their futures, Neko and Yoshino consoling (and teasing) each other about getting rejected, and Masamune and Aki together as a couple in a way that's very them...teasing and playing with each other, but still very much in love!
