neutral · AI labelView post →The title of “I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class” is one of those things that, out of context, sounds positively dreadful. Naturally, this dreadfulness is in part because it sounds like the protagonist’s assessment. This is thankfully not the case.

positive · AI labelView post →### Sequels: * **Re:ZERO Season 4** - I liked S1 and S2 but S3 left me somewhat disappointed. I hope this one will be better. * **That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 4** - Yay! More meetings! (please, don't) * **Classroom of the Elite IV** - I don't remember much about it. I'm gonna need a recap * **Ascendance of a Bookworm Season 4** - Aside from season 1, this was rather underwhelming, but hopefully the change of the studio will bring some improvements. The trailer looked…

neutral · AI labelView post →"I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class" gotta be one of the worst Light Novel Title Summary I've come across, cause it makes it sound schlocky and male gaze-y, but the anime's been a good ride about breaking down preconceived notions and social/class status thanks to shared hobby
positive · AI labelView post →Within a span of a couple of weeks, I have binged watched Shangri-La Frontier Season 1 and 2, I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class and Banana Fish. I. Am. Exhausted lol. Putting the binge watching on hold for now so I can watch these Summer season shows.

positive · AI labelView post →Last night I started I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class--while I'm glad I started late since it means I can already binge a bunch of it I wish I was watching from the beginning bc I'd have been touting each week how Umi is the best girl in any series I've seen in a long time

I really can't recommend it enough. It's not particularly groundbreaking (aside from the fact that it's a donghua done very well in traditional anime style), but it's one of those series that's at least an 8/10 in *everything* - animation, art style, story, characters, setting, music, everything. It's just really good. **Scum of the Brave** - the…

positive · AI labelView post →I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class: If you asked me why I like these LNs so much I'd have a hard time telling you exactly, given the premise is pretty straight(forward). But love them I do, and so far the adaptation is doing a perfectly fine job bringing it to life.
positive · AI labelView post →108. I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class (DROPPED) It's a decent show but it wasn't making any neurons fire. I would probably enjoy this more in manga-form.
neutral · AI labelView post →(I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class*) It is not crazy good but I've been entertained by it so far. *yes, that's the name.
neutral · AI labelView post →I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class (2026) Way too adorable. A pair of dorks overcoming insecurities and trauma to become an overly sweet lovey-dovey couple. The PDA is a lot to take in, but it's refreshing and they're easy to root for.

positive · AI labelView post →I love how the MC in this show is so antisocial that when he tells his mom he's going out with a friend next weekend, her first thoughts are, "Are they imaginary?" and "Are they shaking you down for money?"

positive · AI labelView post →Although it MUST be acknowledged that both Umi and Maki share some, ahh, dubious tastes in movies… #IMadeFriendsWithTheSecondPrettiestGirlInMyClass
neutral · AI labelView post →I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class 🦈 -- Nothing special but I liked it. Ngl...I want what Maehara and Asanagi have lol. They're the kind of people I can relate to very well and there were some deff cute moments between them. Liked it more than I expected; not much else to say
positive · AI labelView post →213. I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class (9/10) This was a very cute show. Umi and Maki are the best! I wish the LNs were licensed so I could read them, but I have only the manga to read but it's like only 2 chapters ahead of where the anime ends off.
positive · AI labelView post →53. I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class (2026 anime) I had a good feeling that I'd enjoy this one because I can't help but be a sucker for a good romance and that's exactly what I got! It's super adorable and I love the way the love interests chemistry with each other! 4/5

Maki and Umi are truly wonderful and the supporting cast are colorful and fun, I enjoyed it a lot.

positive · AI labelView post →#222. I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class - 8/10 I liked it but I could not get over that half of this show is the main character not confessing his love for the girl because his parents are divorced.
positive · AI labelView post →224. I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class [Manga - 42 Chapters] (8/10) The manga is also great. I think the art is alright. It's serviceable but the story is what matters. I really hope that the Light Novels get licensed someday.
positive · AI labelView post →79. I Made Friends With the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class This was enjoyable. Any romcom that has the main couple get together before the finale is a plus. I enjoyed Umi and Maki’s friendship grow into a wholesome romance. Pacing in the middle was a bit off.
positive · AI labelView post →Started watching "I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class" last night and finished it this evening. I loved it. The last episode or two are kinda anticlimactic, though. It felt like those were an adaptation of the short stories volume. I'll probably read the books now. #anime
positive · AI labelView post →Sora then points out that Maki is a) sick and b) has no energy. That if anything DOES happen, Umi would have to initiate it. Umi’s dad is NOT reassured by this… #IMadeFriendsWithTheSecondPrettiestGirlInMyClass
