Aoi and Kaoru's relationship has already won. Two years later, this show isn't trying to manufacture drama or solve anything, it just watches them live, which somehow matters more than all the confession scenes in anime. Every character gets a moment where you see why they matter to these two, and the show trusts you to care about that without making it loud. The pacing crawls, but that's the point. This is what peace looks like after a romance actually lands.

Two years have passed since Aoi and Kaoru were released from the ties their families held over them, and the pair go on living their everyday lives in their house. Kaoru is now a graduate student, and the tenants sharing the home are as noisy as ever, keeping the group's familiar habits going. Surrounded by the same friends, the open question is where Aoi and Kaoru's love will head next. Blending comedy, drama, romance and slice of life, this twelve-episode TV follow-up returns to the couple two years on.
