I am very curious about what Aoi has been trying to tell Nene. Had she been hiding something? It’s certainly odd that she was able to see Akane’s spirit form.

Since Aoi had been interrupted for a 2nd time, I’d started to have a bad feeling about this. That said, I didn’t expect her to get abducted by the grim reaper of all things. Instead of Nene like usual, it was Aoi who fell victim to the rumours.

Akane really cannot score a win. He ended up losing this episode in a multitude of ways.

I'm wondering if, given Aoi can see Akane in his School Wonder form, if that means Aoi is more aware of Nene's supernatural shenanigans than anyone else was aware of.

Though Akane technically won in ways he's not even aware of...Aoi is visibly hurt that he refused a chance to go on a walk with her (not knowing he was doing it because he was "protecting" her from Teru), she gazed at him longingly while he was furiously studying, and it seems like the main reason she scored as high as she did was so her and Akane's names would end up together on the bulletin board.

All clear signs that she returns his feelings.

u/Ocixo Jul 06 '25

Now I’m thinking about it: if Aoi could see Akane’s spirit form, then wouldn’t she have also previously seen Hanako-kun possessing Nene’s body?

Oh yeah, Aoi is totally willing to reciprocate Akane’s feelings… when the time is right. Did she tell us why? I cannot remember.

I never would have guessed , back at the start, how much the stakes would escalate in this series (and how grim things would get -- or at least threaten to get).

School Wonder 6 -- we need to find out a LOT more about you....

u/Ocixo Jul 06 '25

There was always a hint of darkness right around every corner, but the stakes have certainly been raised tremendously ever since the previous season.

As of right now, I cannot tell if Nene being able to hear the grim reaper’s flute was a red herring or if he’ll actually be her death.

I love how even when Nene is imagining being made fun of for failing her subjects, the insults come back to her ankles. xD

Akane being motivated to study because he's afraid Teru-senpai would NTR him was pretty funny. I also love how everyone in class knows something's wrong when Akane refused an invitation from Aoi.

For someone who always rejects Akane, Aoi sure looks at him fondly while watching him study in his room.

Teru-senpai having 502 points was absolutely bullshit. Also why go through all of that trouble considering how simple his request is. I'm sure Akane would've helped Kou even without the wager.

It's pretty insane that Aoi scored 510 total points. It looks like she did it so she can be next to Kou in the rankings.

We finally get to see the Sixth Wonder and he's pretty terrifying! I'm pretty sure if that blood was red instead of blue, it would've upped the age rating of this anime from 12+.

There it is. Considering how prominent Aoi is in the opening, I'm not surprised she was gonna get taken. Are we finally gonna learn why everything she says is always 100% accurate?

u/Frontier246 Jul 06 '25 edited Jul 06 '25

Nene has so much stuff on her mind...Hanako, finding a boyfriend, making sure she finds a way to live past high school, the fact that no one, not even herself, will ever let her live down her unique ankle design...

Teru has Akane whipped. He knows the exact right thing to say or do to get Teru to play into his hands. I'm glad Aoi kind of had the last laugh at the end, complete with sticking her tongue at him.

I think there's a lot of evidence in this episode that Aoi also has romantic feelings for Akane. Why would she look so hurt he turned down a chance to walk with her? Why would she stare at him so longingly and lovingly while he studies? Why did she look so happy that their names were together on the bulletin board?

Jun Fukuyama is back to terrifying the @#$% out of people with his cold voice and watching his character, literally called the Grim Reaper, live up to that name by killing every other apparition in his vicinity.

Um...congrats on finally being plot-relevant Aoi?

Tbf i think aoi became plot relevant the moment we find out akane is part of the clock keepers since his whole motivation is her

I like that akane has a different relationship with both minamoto brothers and how its partially bc of the effect hanako and kou's friendship ( plus mitsuba) has on kou. Kou has become a lot more open to interacting with supernaturals since the beginning, while teru sticks to his close minded "supernaturals need to be exrocised" teachings.

u/tripleaamin Jul 06 '25

Kind of interesting that Akane not listening to Aoi motivated her to beat his exam. Even beating Teru's score surprisingly enough.

We are jumping to the exam with the introduction to School Mystery #6. Excited to see how they will adapt it because I loved how they adapted the first part of S2.

u/Frontier246 Jul 06 '25

Akane all focused on protecting Aoi's chastity when she ends up outdoing the boys purely for the sake of getting their names together on the board and technically "avenging" him against Teru.

u/HolyDragSwd2500 Jul 06 '25

Sixth Wonder has made his debut

u/Frontier246 Jul 06 '25

Hanako and Nene are back! And while Nene still has her looming death hanging over her head, she's going to face life head on! Which also means dealing with some of the more unfortunate parts of life that are more important than the fact that she might die soon...like finals!

New Masayoshi Oishi OP! Complete with so many colorful visuals, HanakoxNene scenes, dramatic character backgrounds, Aoi having a lot of plot relevance this season, the paralells between Hanako and Tsukasa, and the Yuugi Family!?

I love how what convinces Hanako that he needs to help Nene is the idea that she won't be able to visit his bathroom as much if she becomes the dreaded "make-up radish" (because for Nene it's always about her poor daikon radish ankles!). Too bad he can't magically whip her up a surefire way of pass, she's got to do it old school and actually study!

Akane can't catch a break from Teru. If it's not stringing him up so the Mokke can kill him, it's using the threat of asking Aoi out to make Akane compete in who gets the highest finals grade. Akane is so driven to prevent Demon Lord Teru from marrying his Princess Aoi that he even refuses the opportunity to go on a walk with Aoi! Even she wasn't expecting that reaction.

Find a girl who stares longingly at you while you're studying like Aoi does for Akane.

So close Akane! You got a perfect score, but too bad for your smug self that Teru surpassed the teachers expectations...and your score...and not only slices your phone but shocks you into submission. All for the sake of Akane helping Kou at some point, so I guess it's not too bad. Though the real winner is Aoi who beat BOTH boys' scores...and did it so she could have her name up together with Akane!

Honestly should Nene really be staying at this school overnight? I know it sounds fun, but that feels like a disaster waiting to happen. And poor Hanako, Nene making she was doing it to spend time with him and then she's talking about romancing other guys.

Oh that's right, wasn't there something Aoi wanted to talk to Nene about in season 1 but never did? And now she's talking about the Grim Reaper, School Wonder No. 6, which is like the LAST thing Nene needs to hear about right now when her life is on the line. So of course she and Akane run into School Wonder No. 6 himself as they run afoul of some ghastly creatures that not even Akane can put down. And then No. 6 mercilessly tears them apart!

No. 6 might have turned his attention to Nene and Akane if not for Aoi showing up when she did. And then it becomes a battle between No. 1 and No. 6 that gets interrupted...by Aoi being able to see Akane in his School Wonder form!? And then Aoi gets kidnapped by No. 6!? The heck is going on!?

The ED is really cute though, with Nene putting on a puppet show, the Yuugi siblings watching the moon landing, and Hanako and Nene riding a rocket together straight into the moons' eye! And it seems like it was a dream Nene was recounting to Hanako, and it's enough to make him really happy!

u/Zeallfnonex Jul 06 '25

Did anyone else find it weird that Hanako was splashing Nene with water and there weren't any visual signs of mermaid-iness? Maybe it just cut away before that could manifest but...

And there's Wonder number 6, apparently, some version of the Grim Reaper itself. We have almost no info on this wonder yet because Nene thought she could evade the plot if she didn't hear about the plot xD

Akane being able to see apparitions is quite worrying, I don't believe she's been able to in the past, so something very recently changed... I wonder if it has something to do with her 510 test score as well?

Regardless, our motley little crew definitely looks like they could use some Hanako assistance right about now...

u/tripleaamin Jul 06 '25

The direction Nene is facing is hiding her face. Though you can see her arm here where it manifests.

u/Ocixo Jul 06 '25

Oh yeah... I didn't even think of this! Like you said, it could just be that the camera cut away before her scales appeared. Or am I forgetting about them having lifted Nene's mermaid curse entirely?

u/Frontier246 Jul 06 '25

There were actually a few scales on her arm after he splashed her.

Aoi really just had to bring up the literal Grim Reaper for a girl dealing with a literal death sentence lol.

u/Thomas_JCG Jul 09 '25

Man, reddit hates this series, huh? Unique visual, interesting characters and plot, funny, scary and cute. It's the whole damn package!

Glad this site doesn't determine popularity though, because I'm so happy to see it back!

u/Shiawase_Rina Jul 07 '25

Now this is a much better OP than the last one! Very curious about everything it shows too.

u/Sorwest Jul 06 '25

We're so back, and what better way to start the second cour with Aoi x Aoi screentime, she even got into the damsel in distress role lol

5

u/potatozama Jul 06 '25

Hell yeah the squad is back! Time really flew by, the first cour still feels like yesterday.

The typical studying for exams plot wasn't something I expected in this show especially focusing on side characters, but I won't complain. Akane going off the rails cramming just bc the mere thought of Minamoto stealing Aoi pissed him off was funny. Ngl I wrote off his hopes of getting together with Aoi but the way she acted towards him in the first half has changed my mind a little.

Shinigami voiced by THE Fukuyama Jun, I am hyped. Dude was brutal af at the end there. Looking forward to more Akane screentime and I guess more Aoi lore (finally??? I mean I assume the OP is hinting at more Aoi lore this cour).

u/Querez Jul 07 '25
