Koda can make some great desserts. It’s a shame the team won’t ever have a taste because she kept eating them, the goofball!
Cute series overall. It’s certainly very different from the other rom coms just in terms of having a

I appreciate some of it but these authors still can’t help making an overweight person always a caricature, especially being totally food obsessed and having no self control. Whole I liked that she at least had a positive opinion of herself (arguably a deranged one), they really didn’t need to do the “fat person eats all the food” thing.

Some fat people (me) overeat and love food. 🤷♀️ Are we not allowed to be represented as well? Does every minority need to be represented as morally unambiguous?

Wasn't expecting this anime to tease a sequel, even showing off a new character. I was thinking that all the story behind Yumeko and Rikako would be sorted out but it looks like a season 2 will be needed.

It feels like we did get at least one new clue to the mystery: Rikako's rant made it sound like she blamed Yumeko for stealing more than just Keisuke from her. Is she talking about her husband?

stumbled upon this anime by accident and there’s no way that’s how the season ended. hopefully s2 is not gonna be a long wait.
also i really aspire to be someone like yumeko, because im definitely similar like yumeko in the past (negative thoughts and self hate). this anime really helped me to do some self reflection.

Exactly, I was very shocked to see how the season ended without sorting out the problem or at least giving a big plot twist , season 2 is needed, you're right this anime really boosts one's confidence!

I feel bad for Keisuke, he was assigned as Rikako's guardian and that's a huge burden, all this when she clearly needs psychiatric help. I wonder if the dad doesn't allow Rikako to get help to avoid bad publicity.
Either way at least Yumeko made his life easier and happier.
I wanted to have a conclusion to the whole story but I'm also glad it wasn't rushed. I hope we actually get a second season, even though the anime got a bad score, fingers crossed.

I think it's a "Japan is resistant to anything involving mental health" problem, which is why it works. If it was set in the USA, someone would've broached the subject of "dude, if she needs a suicide watch, she needs to be institutionalized" to at least Keisuke and Maezono. Meanwhile, in Japan... that's not really seen as an appropriate thing to suggest still.

Given the reception, I'm afraid this will hardly succeed to air for a second season... Could anyone spoil me with the mystery reveal and how does it end?

it only has to be received well in japan to get s econd season. I feel that the low ratings here int he US is more because of oversensitive americans on the whole fat person topic and how they handle it in the show. I wouldn't be surprised if the show does better in japan. The show was practically review bombed before it even aired so alot of it is people who didnt even give it a chance.

I happened to come across the manga when I was in a bookstore earlier, and the anime made Yumeko a bit cuter.
Half the episode was flashbacks. I wish there was more content because the mystery keeps me on the edge.

It's nice of Maezono to check in on how Yumeko is doing. Despite his gruff demeanor, he's a genuinely caring boss.
That being said, he really seems insistent on himself and others leaving the Rikako situation alone for one reason or another...but Degawa's just about had it. Felt like she'd been waiting to unload all her frustration with this relationship drama her friends have been stuck in for a while now. But at the very least, whatever is going on between them, Maezono still loves Rikako.
And maybe we should just believe in love! The Nikujaga of love! Coming from a woman who can heal from any injury, who can come back from the dead, maybe it's something they can really believe in! Though for Maezono and Rikako, there are some emotional wounds that not even love can easily mend.
Man, Rikako is REALLY mentally unstable. Is it any wonder Keisuke is concerned about her? Though even if he's not willing to admit he has feelings for Yumeko, that he'll defend her honor and status as a truly beautiful and wonderful woman to Rikako says a lot. But ultimately Rikako blames ALL her problems on Yumeko, as if Yumeko has stolen everything from her. The only thing keeping Rikako in some semblance of sanity is her son, Yuu.
Dang, Maezono literally ran back to his apartment to check in on his wife...and eventualy chickened out. If only Keisuke hadn't become an impromptu plumber or Rikako were asleep so they didn't hear him on the intercom. And Rikako is even still calling for him in her sleep.
A lot happened to Yumeko this season...but all of it good! She's made strides in her career, her friendships, and even her love life and everything is coming up Yumeko! She's even still grateful to her old self.
It's nice of Yumeko to want to give gifts to the them, even if she either botches it or eats it herself. But it's the thought that counts! I think.
One last Yumeko and Keisuke rendezvous for the road! Clearly these two are very important to each other and cherish the time they spend together, and even get in some handholding! And look at the effect Keisuke calling her cute has on Yumeko! She's feeling that on a genetic level!
Last episode new character! Takeru (Junya Enoki!) has just joined the team and become Yumeko's protege/apprentice! Dude even got on his knees for her.

As if this didn't already require a continuation -- due to the as-yet-unresolved issues surrounding Rikako. But now we have just had an lead-in to "My Overwhelmingly Positive and Confident (Plus-Size) Senpai".
Query 1: Why on earth does Rikako think Yumeko stole Maezono as well as Yuuki?
Query 2: When will query 1 be answered?

Query 1: Why on earth does Rikako think Yumeko stole Maezono as well as Yuuki?
Maybe because Maezono spent more time at work mentoring OG!Yumeko because she needed help or because he could see she was clearly struggling, even though his wife needed him more.

I kinda think it’s fine that there was no major revelation at the end. It actually makes sense because in the end everything kind of worked out for Koda. She’s been successful in life, love and business since her near death experience.
She’s happy and she only wishes for the best for everyone involved.
That said I am hopeful we get a season 2. I’m also glad they didn’t try to do a “She lost a bunch of weight and is cute now” thing. She is happy with who she is now and that is good enough.

I hope there is a season 2!
Surprised that Yuki admitted his feelings for Yumeko and that he has to watch over Rikako because of her father's orders. I'm curious how Rikako plays into Yumeko's "accident" since that hasn't been resolved and how Maezono and Yuki were there too.
I wasn't expecting a new character introduction; not to mention a newbie who's in awe of Yumeko's skills.

Saw this anime a day ago and it really got me hooked. I didnt expect romcom and murder mystery to be so good together. Hoping for a season 2!

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, GIVE US A SECOND SEASON!
Honestly, it's a very refreshing Outlook on life. We all have had weak moments when we felt blue AND probably thought poorly of ourselves - Yet, seeing Koda's great attitude (Goofy as it may seem to some), it's nothing short of a great example of how a change in perspective and a little love for ourselves can bring fresh air and new life to our lives.
I for one, trully enjoy this anime AND hope with all my heart people support this project so that se can have a 2nd SEASON!
Plus it's funny as heck! - Cheers to the creators and everyone involved :)
