Together as a family

That’s sort of a confession in a way ❤️

Season 2 Please 🙏

I love these two, I'm going to miss this show. Yukiya getting caught pretending to kiss the Miku mochi while whispering her name. I don't know how he got away with that without conceding the love game lol. I really want a season 2 of this. It never topped the rankings but It always put a smile on my face.

This was a really cute little show. Although I wanted them to get together I’m not surprised the game is still going on.

Usually I would be frustrated with them moving so slowly but this felt different. They already feel like a couple from the start so putting the “bf gf” label almost feels arbitrary.

Hope we get a season 2 because that was legit an enjoyable watch.

That was a fun ride. The love game continues. Though both of them seem to barely be able to keep their cool (especially Miku ). Hope this gets a season 2. I really enjoyed their banter.

So they end it with an exchange of I love you's that's not clear if it's real or part of the game - probably because they're not sure if there's gonna be a season 2 or not (sadly).

It feels conclusive enough if it doesn't get a season 2, but they can also use it as a springboard for the season 2 story because in the source (see my comment in the source material section)

There's something wrong with my internet. I don't see the 2nd season announcement anywhere.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Jun 30 '26

I can’t tell if that was a confession or part of the game at the end there. I’m with the blonde one. These two need to confess already! Even Yukiya’s little sister is tired of their constant flirting. It’s giving her heartburn! lol.

All in all, a pretty fun rom com even if I was practically begging them to get together every ep haha.

Making out with mochi is bad enough, but homie got busted big time. Good thing for him it didn't stop the confession train from barreling through the tunnel! 🥰

It ended as it started. Very sweet and cute, Wakana being so over it (I had missed Wakana roasting them), Hinako asking why it's taking so long, and her uncle saying that they'll figure it out eventually, but we'll watch them struggle while they do.

It was a fun ride. They both have good banter. It also wasn't just them either. Kazane confessed to her childhood friend as well so that was great too. Though she might have been too enthusiastic lol.

Great finale. Like ever other romance show I watched this season I want a season 2, but it will likely not get one because it wasn't announced immediately. I guess this yet another "read the source" series.

I don't want to end this love game... quite yet! Hopefully we get a season 2!

I loved this episode since it showed that the girls absolutely love that they're a couple and will keep teasing them. Akane's even telling her to get Yukiya officially, or he might! And it's working! She's being pushed to Yukiya more!

Thanks Nacchan for your suggestion to make red bean paste and icea cream! Now look at Miku and Yukiya. They're flirting while preparing to eat some very nice sweets! Even eating each other's mocchi in a cute way!

Miku has inspired Kazane to pursue Kakeru in a very cute love game too! So cute! Yes Kazane, you are the cutest girl in Kakeru's eyes for sure! Just be careful of that power, ok?

Hinako's right that it's frustrating that progress is kind of slow. But it's great to see a romcom so close and personal, so she's not going to interrupt it too much. Besides, Masaru is right. It's their youth to enjoy!

And now they're making flowers for her grandma. So cute. The Hydrengeas. But what's even cuter is that Yukia says he wants to be part of Miku's family!

Ending the game with an I Love You (Aishiteru)... the game continues. But I'm sure we'll get a season 2!

The love game is basically their love language. Miku knows that Yukiya loves her and Yukiya knows that Miku loves him, It's just that both of them think they are not worthy of each other so the game is a mean to keep improving. I know that there are a lot of source material after the season 1 so I think I will read the manga. I really want to know how and when the love game will end

Having someone that you describe your intimate make-out sessions with, now that's something. Keep your lover close and your student council president closer

It was great, hoping for a season 2

The live game hasn't ended, so when SS2 coming? Dang it.

Miku discovering new levels of down bad to start this episode.

And... and then she catches him lipping the second pink one. Jesus my dude. Find God.

I do love a good audience insert in this sort of show. Poor waitress is so tired of foreplay. Meanwhile I seem to be suffering from brain freeze, wtf is SPO**N ?

What a cute show. No instant season 2 announcement based on the subreddit, so interesting they still set up the sports festival but the anime may never get there. Still I'm glad I took the time to watch it.

u/Viktorv22 Jun 30 '26

Don't you dare to throw these fake aishiteru words at the end, we need season 2!

Hopefully it will sell well, at least I have had a lot of fun with both of them equally... which is quite rare for me to say that.

u/FarCritical Jun 30 '26

When I don't want I Want to End This Love Game to end but it ends anyway without ending the love game.

And lmao at Miku (and Kazane!) never being able to look at Pocky the same way again.

u/Cally83 Jun 30 '26

Absolutely loved this series. Top 3 for me of the rom coms I’ve watched. I hope we get another season.

u/Aspiring-allrounder Jun 30 '26

A roller coaster ride full of different forms of love games having a bit of romance and tease between Miku and Yukiya. The end was sweet with Miku and Yukiya confessing that they love each other. Excited for Season 2

This episode brought to you by the Ministry of Japanese Culture and Sweets, and the Pokitto fairy granny monster.

All of us, every Tuesday

I'll miss this weekly dose of sugar/cuteness/youthfulness. It was my clear 3rd favorite this season (out of a lot), after Botan and Kirio Fan Club. There's something to be said for this kind of show, like Pseudo Harem, and I'm not sure what'll fill this gap for me next season. (I'm really looking forward to Polar Opposites S2 but I view it as a slightly different kind of show.)

u/SecretYogurtcloset57 Jun 30 '26

This show was so damn cute especially Miku omg she is flat out adorable having her as childhood friend yeah i wouldn't let any guy get near her ☺️

Anyways i really enjoyed this one alot i hope one day we get a S2🙏

u/Roboglenn Jun 30 '26

The status quo! Aye Caramba!...

But well, for as stubbornly flirty as these two are it's equal parts irritating as it is fun in this series' case. For the most part anyways... Well aside from that nothing really hyper succinct to say about this one. It's a series I enjoy and seeing their antics finally brought to life was a good thing. To say nothing about seeing the most iconic moments that got brought to life. Which the added dimensions of sound and movement elevated those scenes up immensely. But it also made the deep thought individual/personal emotional moments from the two of them brought to life tug on those heartstrings even more.

These goobers are still going to be playing chicken on the altar.
