Resisting and Asking

I found diving into Hiroko's "perfect complex" and its effects on her relationship with Ayaka to be a compelling path to go for this second season. It led to some interesting conversations and needed confrontations on the needs/desires of both Hiroko and Ayaka.

However, it did not have to take SO long to be resolved!

Side Note: That running scene at the end had to be one of my favorites I've seen in Queer media! It took the trope and went delightfully over the top with it! LMAO!

Just Why ???

How can I express my opinion without being too harsh... I loved season 1, but for me, season 2 was really unnecessary.

Fortunately, the characters of Hiroko and Ayaka remain endearing and funny, and the sixth episode saves the day a little. However, there are a lot of misunderstandings that, in my opinion, don't add much to the story. If the characters were teenagers, it might have been acceptable, but here they are adult women with real responsibilities... and some of their reactions seem hard to understand.

In short, if you liked season 1, I think you can skip season 2.

At first, I was like "They didn't grow at all". They still didn't comunicate, leading to very uncomfy scene. It felt like sexual harassment...
What I liked in the 1st season did annoyed me in this season. 0 evolution, 0 communication/

But Ayaka grow about it and learn a little bit how to comunicate about it. The last two episode were really better, and made me love it more.

Yet, I still prefere the first season.
