The bullying joke gets tired fast, so season two just drops it and lets you watch two people who actually like each other figure out what that means. Nagatoro stops performing and starts revealing, which turns every conversation into something that lands because you believe it. The chemistry between them gets so comfortable that the comedy doesn't need a setup anymore, it just lives in how they move around each other.

Nagatoro's relentless teasing of her senpai, Naoto Hachiouji, continues in this second season, though something has shifted between them. The two have grown closer, and she now spends more time than ever with him in the art club room. He is still always on edge around her, but he no longer seems to mind having her there. Every so often he shows a cool side he usually keeps hidden, while she reveals a possessive streak. To everyone around them, it is obvious that they have feelings for each other, yet they still cannot fully close the gap. Nagatoro enjoys nothing more than toying with him and has no intention of stopping, so this romantic comedy keeps the pair circling ever closer to realizing how they truly feel.
