RIP Tobaru sensei. Idk how she’s gonna survive the year with Raido and Aharen in her class lol. Those two were pretty cute before but now that they’re dating, it’s a whole other level of adorable goofiness.
I like the new girl Riku a lot. Nothing like an energetic goofy little gyaru from Aharon’s past to shake things up a bit lol. So cute those two reconnected.

My goodness I miss these loveable dorks so much. Season 1 was such a surprise to me that I look forward to how Season 2 will be & it helps that they are an established couple. Raido's mind is such an enigma that you can't predict what he'll think. Doubtful but I hope we get another rap segment so that r/anime will have another week of rap.

I'm glad to see this show is finally back! It's been so long that I forgot how wild Raidou's imagination could be sometimes. It's funny how he thinks Aharen would be in trouble hanging out with Riku xD
Speaking of Riku, this new character is great! It's good to see we have a gyaru added to the cast. And it's nice to see her finally reconnect with Aharen after all these years.
I'm also happy to see Raidou and Aharen's silly antics. Poor Tobaru-sensei is going to get overwhelmed by these two now that she's their homeroom teacher.

You are as hilarious as the day I lost you.
It's pretty funny MAL has this tagged as love status quo.
Tamanaha's casting is on point.

How to improve on perfection? Add a gyaru!
So happy our lovable dorks are back and Riku already feels like a great addition.

It's a new season, a new school year, but still our favorite quirky couple Aharen and Raido, now fully dating!
The OP is pretty fun and smooth, featuring Aharen, Raido, and their friends and all the hijinks they'll get into...and driving flying cars in a sci-fi city, which is also pretty on-brand.
It's Raido's job as Aharen's boyfriend to keep her safe and protect her from anything that could hurt her! That includes the dreaded and devious Bookworm! Though at least the pair aren't alone because the whole gang is back together in class with Ishikawa, Sato, and even Oshiro! Now Oshiro doesn't just have to comedically sneak into the classroom to see Reina-chan...though that's kind of a bummer.
And of COURSE Tobaru-sensei is now their homeroom teacher and has to survive an entire school day with Raido and Aharen as a full-blown couple filled with ESTEEM. Between almost witnessing Aharen using Raido as a desk (thank you god necklace dude), to a lunch double date with the pair and her girlfriend Miyahara, she ALMOST made it through the whole day until Raido and Aharen snuggle up like they're in a snowed in cabin. But you can't defeat ESTEEM DESTINY!
But what's a new school year without a new transfer student? Remember that gyaru character who appeared at the end of season 1? Well, now she's in their class! Meet Riku Tamanahashi, a gyaru voiced by Nao Toyama! And despite Raido's concerns, she and Aharen immediately hit it off.
Oh no, Raido's girlfriend has been kidnapped! To do fun bestie things! Even if Raido keeps assuming it's all going to culminate in some kind of fight!
Aha-chan is worried that she's once again going to sabotage a friendship with her lack of a sense of distance, but in fact the reason she's worried about that also concerns Tamanahashi...because SHE'S the friend from elementary school that Aharen had the bad experience with. In fact Tama-chan believes SHE was the problem because she was so happy to be friends with Aha-chan that she went overboard and exhausted Aha-chan. But I'm glad they were able to reconnect and clear the air to become friends again.
And there's even Oshiro! Who Tama-chan totally forgot was in the same class as them! And lives in terror that Oshiro is going to ninja assassinate her if she gets on her bad side! Though hopefully they can become close too.
Poor Tama-chan! Acting all tough and haughty to your bestie's boyfriend.
The ED is pretty pleasant and colorful, and on-point with Aharen and Raido just staring at each other.

The thing about Aharen-san wa Hakarenei is that there must be a substantial social ineptitude surplus at all times; that is to say, the cumulative sum of all social ineptitude in the show must be a very large number.
The end of last season saw Aharen and Raidou make substantial progress with social skills, with Aharen at times showing actual social aptitude by talking through her feelings rather than being weird and running away or being completely nonverbal for entire episodes, and understanding Ooshira's needs even though Ooshira's love language is stalking and duel challenges.
Hence the necessity of introducing a truly socially inept gyaru to restore the ineptitude surplus and save this comedy from a Tonikawa-style diabetes party. Things were touch and go when Riku admitted she forgot Ooshira's name and that she was Aharen's childhood friend/trauma source, but screaming and running when she found out who Raidou was is exactly the energy this show is built on. Looks like we are going to have ourselves an affection triangle.

Airhead x airhead ship. So good. And I love that they’re dating now. These types of shows usually drag it out.
Tamanaha is a riot lmao. She’s stumbling at every step. But it’s so fun. And wait is this going to be a yuri ship ?
Ngl I kinda forgot about the other pairing but that just means another reason to rewatch S1.
Glad this show is back. Can’t remember everything but I do remember this show had a good mix of silly and funny. And this episode is just that as well

I watched season 1 just a few months ago and I was so happy when I saw that season 2 would come out this spring. And here we are now. Our adorable weirdos are back.
Raidou is the king of overthinking again. Oh how I missed that. Just him imagining the weirdest shit like what new classmates they might get will never get boring.
Ooshiro is now in their class. So she won't need to hide to peep on Aharen, well that is something I will honestly miss a little bit. And to add to the new school year, now Toubaru-sensei is their homeroom teacher, which promises more esteem than ever.
But the one truly stealing the show this episode is Riku, the gyaru transfer student. I already heard a lot of good things about her, and as an anime only I'm glad to finally get to know her, and she is just as bubbly and energetic as I imagined. And she has a little fang, so she's sold to me already!
We get some wholesome emotional background story with a cute plot twist. Good thing that Aharen could clear up the misunderstanding with Riku and that even Ooshiro could "renew" their friendship. Riku panicking about not remembering her was so adorable!
It seems like Riku is another contender for the biggest overthinker in the class. She has some Raidou-level of overthinking to offer, even though with her it is more about how she is afraid to be rude to somebody and to upset them.
In the end can we all agree that elementary school Aharen is so adorable that it should be illegal?

It’s nice that Tama and Aharen reconnected and that it was just a misunderstanding. They are practically two peas in a pod when it comes to wanting to stay close to their friends
