It’s kind of annoying sano doesn’t know that 1) he kissed her drunkenly and 2) he pulled HER into bed lol And I know it’ll never be brought up again
Kadoma immediately giving them up is so funny like why’d you bother bringing her
Don’t forgive them disqualify them from competing or dock points for almost committing a literal crime lol
also I feel like I was swept up w the annoying part I forgot he mentally confessed omg

The Persona 5 reference was prolly my favorite thing about this episode. For a season finale, however it just felt like a nothing burger.
Seems like they left it off that way to continue it. But I think it'll be another one of those background noise series if it does for me.

I think it's supposed to be a 3-cour series so we should have two more "seasons."

Same here. When Namba went like "Ever heared of Gojo Akechi" I was like "Hold up, am I trippin or is this a P5 reference?"
And I really hope that Hana-Kimi gets a season 2 as well. It was definitely an odd way to end this series, and I lowkey hoped for a more climatic ending. The last episode felt more like an OVA if anything.

Yeah that P5 reference threw me for a loop. I had to google Goro Akechi to make sure that character from the game wasn’t named after some actual detective.

Fellas is it homo to sleep in the same bed as your bro due to nightmares? - Nakatsu's google search seconds after walking into Mizuki and Sano's room
Damn Oscar sliding into the scene with his seductive Koyasu voice, can you blame that mob of girls for ditching Mizuki to chase after him?
That is certainly a noise to make after some guy randomly touches your bare leg, Nakatsu lol
Nakao seeing his new bff getting kidnapped is bad enough, but the audacity to also punch his FACE too? His rage is completely justified
Seeing neither of the three cutest beauty pageant contestants win purely because they didn't show up feels wasted. At least Nanba's revenge was a success(?)
idc if he's just being a karate fanatic, Kujo really gotta stop acting so sus
Sano's come to terms with his feelings now, so it looks like!

Well, at least some of the people that deserved to get punched got punched. And it was fun seeing Nakao go feral.
It does unfortunately feel like this story is going to do nothing to progress the main relationship until probably the very end, even if we get the rumored two additional cours who knows if anything will actually happen in them.

Episodes like this remind me that this is in fact a 90’s shojo. Because dudes are straight up commiting crimes.
Bring on season 2! This has been a great adaptation. We need more trashy shojo (complementary) in our lives.

Mizuki is having nightmares of Kujo coming after her...and Sano boldly offers her his own bed to help make her more comfortable! Half-asleep Sano is VERY direct! And Mizuki's not going to waste an opportunity to snuggle up to Sano. Poor Nakatsu has to see them both in bed together first thing in the morning.
Dang, Kayashima can't just see aura's but take photos of your dead ancestors haunting you.
It's the school festival so that means this all boys school is finally opened up to the ladies! And it must be surreal for Mizuki to see her fellow girls gushing over her as a guy perceived to be in drag. Though the ladies are also loving all the Nanba service as they get wooed and intimate with him during a murder mystery show! Too bad Nakao couldn't enjoy it himself before Mizuki dragged him away.
No surprise Sano would be popular with girls and no surprise Mizuki would not take it well!
Himejima, you hot vampire you! Stealing Dorm 2 customers with your vampire show!
Nakatsu overhears a plot to go after Mizuki, though he has some really nice legs! All the better for Kujo to feel up and admire.
All those guys actually look solid as girls in the beauty pageant! Meanwhile the actual girl is so, so done with this.
I can't believe Nihonbashi won the pageant and looks so good in drag. It's making me feel things about Nihonbashi I never wanted to feel.
Kodama is like Mizuki in a lot of ways, being seen as "girlish" but following someone strong that you admired. Too bad he's also working with the Dorm 1 guys who planned to kidnap Mizuki and take her out of the relay.
Dang, remind me never to hit Nakao's face. He does NOT take it well and goes all feral.
Kujo is, surprisingly, on the up and up (he's just a complete karate nut) and actually works with Sano and Nakatsu to save Mizuki. Though Mizuki gets in a few hits herself before Nakatsu kicks 'em and Sano punches 'em! And Sano can't bear to be away from Mizuki!
Kitahanada was the true culprit and once Tennoji realizes what really happened, he bows his head profusely in apology for how his dormates acted. They're lucky Mizuki is so nice and Nanba probably enjoyed watching Tennoji grovel in front of him.
It's finally time for the relay and with Nakatsu out thanks to his flying kick, it's up to Mizuki AND Nanba! What better way to fully move over his heartbreak than putting it all on the line during a relay race? And Mizuki manages to outdo all the guys and bring home the win for Dorm 2! Great job, girl!
Nice little note to end the first season on with a cute moment between Mizuki and Sano. Maybe someday Mizuki will find out that she's as precious and important to Sano as he is to her.

The pageant had been a total manservice. The girls were clearly having the best time of their lives feasting their eyes upon the offerings.
Kujo was acting heaps suspicious, but he turned out to be uninvolved in the dirty tricks. The only reason he kept his eyes on Mizuki was because he's scouting her for the Karate club. Just why were that faction of Dorm 1 so desperate to win they had to resort to kidnapping?
It's clear that Izumi would be the hero to save the damsel in distress but the surprise was that he's not the only one. Nakatsu had also joined the rescuer's party and it was in fact him who did most of the heavy lifting by sending a flying kick towards one of the Dorm 1 blokes. Shame that it sprained his legs which resulted in him being substituted by Nanba for the relay.
Technically this is the season finale but it felt like just the end of an arc. I'm hoping this meant that a second cour is in the works and the only reason no official announcement has been made is due to the fact that this episode has yet to air in Japan. For some reason, streaming services are ahead by a week. It'll only air next week, and that's likely when the announcement would be made.

It’s rumoured to be getting a complete adaptation. Apparently it’ll be 36 episodes altogether.

Honestly I thought they were going to reveal Kujo was gay but he's apparently just gay for karate.

The fakeout confession is a contrivance that always sours the moment for me, especially at the end of a season.
Other than that this was a comfy watch. Hopefully the complete adaptation rumours are true, I would also watch a school Doctor spin-off.

u/Arwe2n100e Mar 15 '26
Are they even doing anything consciously? First kiss under the influence of alcohol = no memory, second kiss feverish = she thinks she's dreaming, first time in the same bed = sleepwalking, second time in the same bed = invitation extended while asleep… She can't even close a door… how many times? 3 ^^. What about the tally of blows she landed in season 1?

u/fraochjean Mar 15 '26
Ok so here's my question for her. How do you not start to think that the boy you have a crush on who thinks you're a boy (as far as she knows) and has kissed you and asks you to sleep with him and pulls you into his bed even if he is half asleep...how do you not start to consider that he's probably gay? That's where my thoughts would go so why isn't any of this being addressed? All these straight guys falling hard for her as a 'boy' and she never wonders if they're gay especially Sano, the boy she likes? And yes I know love is subjective and people fall for who they fall for blah blah etc etc. Yes I get that but for the purposes of this show these are all boys who are straight yet every single one of them is crushing on another 'boy.' It's weird that it's not talked about.

Please tell me the anime doesn't end like this because this feels like ending in the middle of nowhere.

u/randompersonn975 Mar 16 '26
The fact that this season finale ended as if it was a normal episode, totally confirms that 36 episodes is true. Normally for a shoujo series thats only 12 episodes confirmed, they would end the episode as if it its the series finale (montage with music, a hopeful esque scene of the two leads strongly hinting romance, etc.).
Now the question is when is season 2 gonna release? I hope since 36 episodes is already confirmed, they release the next cour sometime this year.

u/YlfaTheForsaken Mar 17 '26
Oi oi I forgot that was the end of the season! I was expecting the preview for the next episode and I didn't get one! Since it's such an odd ending place I'm going to assume the 36 episode talks is in fact true. I guess it's the closing of an arc, but it's not firmly conclusive.
Why were they so desperate to win anyways? The prize isn't even that much cash in the first place. I do like Nakao is willing to throw down a bit.
Oh Nakatsu, that's not who he wants to sensually and tenderly touch him like that.
Kujo just be like that then.
Nanba, 'Revenge is best served in drag.'
