I’m so glad to see my favorite high school couple return for Season 2! The awkwardness continues, and that deer-in-the-headlights look has practically become Hioki’s trademark. Nobody does it quite like him! But this time, it’s Watarai who’s swimming in unfamiliar waters. What do you do once you’ve finally caught your mermaid? Do you protect him, surround him with affection, or hold on so tightly that you’re afraid someone might steal him away? Boy, isn’t that exactly what first love does to us? All that jealousy, insecurity and possessiveness…when all you really want is to smother someone with love and attention.

And that’s what I adore about this series. It takes everything so lightly, without needing heavy drama, toxic relationships or unnecessary heartbreak to keep us entertained. Just two awkward boys figuring out love, one adorable moment at a time. We have enough drama floating around in the real world. Sometimes I just want to be that little kid again, standing in front of a fish tank, completely mesmerized, watching the colorful fish swim around without a care in the world. No worries, no complications…just the simple joy of watching something beautiful unfold. And honestly, that’s exactly how this series makes me feel.
