Hmm Its really hard to tell now since Mizore is the focus of volume 2, But if there is going to be Yuri it will be more in Mizore than Reina... well that is according to the Novel Spoilers...

Yeah, nothing all too new or anything to get excited about so far. A character that looks like an introvert/shy and another that looks tomboy-ish.

Like others said, hopefully we get more Reina x_x Can't say I like or dislike Asuka so far, so I feel eh about that

More screentime for best girl Asuka will certainly save the second season, even if there is no Yuri. :>

Yep. It means the indication was already there in the first key visual released months back that two certain characters will be promoted to leads. One of them is already confirmed. Looks like we are indeed in the novel route which will mean the possibility of [that] ending to be almost inevitable.

Here are the characters added in the official website:



Yoroizuka Mizore


Kasagi Nozomi


Also, Oboe-girl Mizore and Flute-girl (moto) Nozomi appear in season 1. In case some of you missed them in the prequel season:

Hmm... Well, the two girls aren't really new, but okay.

Anyway, I can't wait on a another fun-time with the Kitajuui-girls (especially Asuka-chan and Rena-chan)...xD

My body could not be more ready.

But really, first season was great. The growth of Kumiko and the dynamic between her and Reina was just so... natural.

I noticed Yamada is returning as episode director. That alone is making me think the series will turn out at least as great as the first season did. Also, it is interesting that we get focus onto some of the side characters from season 1 given the characters added on the official site.
