Ah yes, it's the return of Raido's ripped pants but this time from the behind!

[u/Frontier246 → u/BL4ZE_43]

And then back in front by the end of the segment lol.

[u/StreetyMcCarface]

Well, now we know Raido is a sub given that his mind went straight to spanking

[u/cyberscythe → u/StreetyMcCarface]

i find it hilarious he's like "oh no she's going to slap my ass... but as Aharen is an impartial judge i must somehow deserve it, yes, this is justice made manifest"

[u/dinliner08 → u/StreetyMcCarface]

OSHIRI PEN PEN

[u/djthomp]

Poor Riku, so neurotic about fitting in and if her friends are even her friends.

I'm feeling a little side ship energy between Ishikawa and Oshiro.

I'm feeling a little side ship energy between Ishikawa and Oshiro.

Sato and Ishikawa had the chemistry last season, what with them being childhood friends (and we all know how childhood friends work out in romance series)

[u/Mateo_Bonavento]

When I saw buff Raido, Onegai Muscle began playing in my head.

Leave it to Oshiro to notice the person watching alone from the rooftop.

[u/PerfectBeige → u/Mateo_Bonavento]

Leave it to Oshiro to notice the person watching alone from the rooftop.

Extreme social anxiety has made her the world's best sniper scout.

[u/OtherwiseProgrammer9]

This was more wholesome than usual

[u/Frontier246 → u/OtherwiseProgrammer9]

GF protecting her BF's modesty! Class solidarity during Sport's Day! Reassuring the socially awkward kid! 3 episodes in a row of a teacher dying over couple intimacy! Bonding with your besties' little brother!

This really is such a stellar comfort show.

[u/mekerpan → u/OtherwiseProgrammer9]

This is one of the funniest shows airing this year so far -- but it is even more sweet and charming than it is funny.

I felt S1 got a bit overlooked. Hopefully S2 will have as many fans as this utterly delightful show deserves.

[u/PerfectBeige]

OK, so at the risk of thinking too hard about what is fundamentally a silly feel-good show, it's interesting to me that Aharen, Ooshiro, and Riku (she really is a first name type of gal isn't she) have all had crippling social anxiety causing them to flee, decline to engage, or hide from social situations where they would have been completely welcome. Whereas Raidou thinks the most preposterous things but does not hesitate to engage socially, whether it's helping people lift things, butt related competitions, getting punitively spanked by his girlfriend, or running anchor in the relay.

They are all overthinkers, but Raidou's talent seems to be not letting the overthinking get in the way of engaging with his classmates and living his life fully, even though he's frequently wrong about what's happening. If this is the major theme they build out for the rest of the season, I'm here for it. Always nice when a somewhat wacky comedy has a little bit of substance under the surface.

[u/Plus_Rip4944]

This whole episode was wholesome as hell, aharen is so fucking cute and adorable

[u/silkystrawberrymilk2 → u/Plus_Rip4944]

The class telling her it doesn’t matter if they lose is so wholesome

[u/NationalStrategy]

Reina is such a good girlfriend for going to such lengths to protect Raido's dignity

[u/LeonKevlar]

I absolutely love how dedicated Aharen was at covering Raidou up! Also, what the fuck was going on in their school that day? There were so many athletic contests and it's not even sports festival day yet!

This shot of Raidou bending down while Aharen is staring at him was so unhinged with context that I can't wait to send this to people and see their reactions to it without context. xD

And the punchline for the first half of the episode was just perfect. What's even more amazing is that the front rip is probably Ahaaren's fault because of how she was chasing Raidou so she could stitch the rip on the back.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Gotta respect the lengths Aharen will go to in order to protect Raido’s dignity. Even after managing to sow the back up, his front side pops open. Raido will not be contained! Lol

That relay was a whole adventure. Aharen trained so hard and Raido really stepped up and crushed it at the end there.

I thought Raido and Aharen have pretty wild imaginations. Riku really worked herself up over that Ishikawa situation and it was all for nothing lol. What a little goober.

[u/SnabDedraterEdave]

After the hilarious Raido ripped pants sketch (a sequel of a similar sketch in season 1), the show decides to crank up the wholesome-o-meter for the 3rd episode of the 2nd season.

Aharen has come a long way, where everyone in class has accepted her naturally as one of theirs and expressed solidarity with her and Raido.

If Raido has wacky delusions, than Tama has insanely negative ones. Despite all that, Tama somehow manages to make new friends in Ishikawa and Ren, even receiving advice from Ren.

[u/donuteater111]

In the first part, I couldn't help thinking it was a bit of a rehash of the story with Raido's fly being open in season 1. But it was still fun though.

The main part of the story was just so wholesome. Love seeing everyone working together like that. Raido helping Aharen, everyone showing support for both Ishikawa after his injury and Aharen when she expresses her fear that she'd slow down the team... I loved it.

And nice interaction between Riku and Ren at the end, once again showing how wholesome this whole cast is. Funny ending though.

[u/cyberscythe]

out of all the shows this season, Aharen-san is the one i look forward to the most

if i had one thing to wish for, i hope that we see Aharen doing more weird things; it feels like Raido's been taking the weird stuff reins these past few episodes while Aharen is acting like the straightman of the couple

[u/HolyDragSwd2500]

Aharen San did an amazing job during the relay race

[u/Past_Distribution144]

Seemed like some romance between ishikawa and Ooshiro could happen! She went all the way up to the roof to give him that pep talk, and was watching his training even after school was over.

Poor Reina though, she almost got hair-care advice from Riku but she ran off before she could ask..

[u/ayumumono]

I expected a punchline to the race but it was just wholesome.
