Fifty-one episodes of Mimi trying to maintain her dignity while three boys exist in her presence, and somehow it still gets you invested in whether she and Ushio actually figure it out. The second collection doubles down on what worked: the stiff animation and awkward pacing are the joke now, not a flaw you apologize for. By the time you're this deep, you're not watching a polished romance comedy. You're watching a girl you care about get systematically wrecked by her own feelings, one terrible joke at a time.
Mimi Kitagami is a gentle, sensible student who dreams of becoming the finest student council president her high school class has ever had. Her efforts are constantly complicated by three mischievous boys, and her feelings for one of them, Ushio Toujou, go unreturned. In this second season of the shoujo comedy romance, adapted from Tomoko Nishimura's manga, a formidable new rival enters the picture, and the episode numbering picks up from 51.
