Despite Makoto's splotchy acting during the first season, the plot for the first season was pretty good. But they dropped the ball for the plot for the second season.

•❅✧❅✦ Story •❅✧❅✦

The first season was all about during Makoto the ugly ducking into a swan prince. Now that he's a prince he has taken up modelling. Yuki is also pursuing his dream as a make up artist, so they don't have time to spend together... Until they end up on the same set and we get some sweet romance... Which Makoto's manager doesn't like and that's were the plot falls short.

Makoto's manager isn't a good antagonist. He does create some drama for Makoto and Yuki, but the conclusion to the drama was terrible. Throughout the series the manager is just intense about their relationship and a "Just No" man. But, Makoto literally just said that he couldn't work without Yuki and the manager does a 180 and decides to work with Yuki to make Makoto a top star. What happened to being completely against Yuki and threatening him?!

Also, the series feels incomplete because as soon as the manager approves their relationship the series ends. We don't get to see them actually make Yuki into a top star!

•❅✧❅✦ Overall •❅✧❅✦

Compared to the first season, Makoto's acting feels more natural, however, the plot was terrible. In my review of the first season, I said Makoto's acting (and Yuki's looks) sank the show, while the plot saved it. Now, for the second season, I will have to say the plot sank the show, but Makoto's improved acting (and looks) saved it.

I don't really hate this season, but I don't love it either. I prefer the first season over the second.
