I don't think there's anything wrong with Rize's hair style with the bangs. She still looks cute but what's up with that weird head thing she's wearing lmao

Cool to see Sawako hanging out with Rize together and seeing some of their past.

Ogata focused episode (and some Sawako) the ED is starting to grow on me.
1st part of the episode was tons of fun, its funny to see their reactions again when Nariyuki was being dense about what changed with Ogata, reminds me of a certain chapter in Nisekoi when Raku couldn't notice any change with Shitoge, iirc with hers it was the ribbon.
NEP seems like the 1st half will be a Rizu focused ep and the 2nd half Uruka's.

Pretty nice episode overall.

The first half was amusing, Uruka and Fumino's reactions to Nariyuki not being able to figure out what Rizu changed was fun.

Sawako really grew on me in the second half.

Fun episode. Either way, Rizu looks cute even without her bangs.
Nariyuki can be so dense at times.

It was fun to watch Sawako in the second half.

Rizu chan really does look a lot younger without her bangs lol but its cute nonetheless. Thou I prefer her with the bangs. Sekijo is a really nice girl and she deeply cares for Rizu chan. Also that was a nice backstory, gd to know why Sekijo started to like and care for Rizu chan so much.

Lmao Nariyuki really is dense af. In the end he still didn't find out the change in Rizu chan nor did he find out why Sekijo tried to leave him and Rizu chan alone.

She can lose the bangs, we don't need 2 girls with the same bangs, more variety.

I'm all for the yuri route for those 2.

Looks like Rizu'lll be getting a makeover next episode from the previous shots.

I started suspecting this back in the first season, but know I am completely sure. The slice of life/comedy about teens' awkward love turned into harem/nearly-ecchi piece of sh*t.

I am genuinely unsure if The implied lesbian crush Sawako has for Ogata is supposed to be genuine and played straight or it the fact it is being play like a lesbian crush is the joke. It seems to dance around the idea without really hard confirming it or but only implying it in a joking kind or way through other contexts.

I do appreciate how they've inverted a few common romcom tropes, like the onsen beforehand and the classic "falls on girl and gets blamed" trope.

She looks better with that hairstyle, the first part of the ep was great but the second was less interesting, but very good tho.
Sekijo is kinda underrated, that skirt flip was really nice ahah

Poor Nariyuki, not noticing that Ogata had cut her bangs, but let's be real, I could have been just as oblivious as Nariyuki when it comes to things like that.

I am pretty sure this is the first time I have seen the "falls on girl with boob grab" trope featuring 2 girls... Honestly can't tell if Sekijo is actually driven by love for Ogata or admiration.

I know what it's like to be mocked for being smart. When I was younger people always used to say I went overboard. I started acting dumber and started doing worse and worse on tests and assignments and stuff in some twisted attempt to feel like I fit in. I only graduated with a 49.6 on my ATAR in the end. Psychologically I guess I screwed myself, I wish I was more steadfast in my determination.

Now 27, and after living with depression for many years, anime and my obsession with it has taught me I shouldn't care what others think. I should just be honest with myself and my feelings, and now I'm proud to say I'm studying a Bachelors degree and aspire to become a teacher.

Anyway, point is, I think I've finally made my decision as to who best girl is.
It's Sekijo all the way for me, lads.

This episode was big on character development for both Rizu and Sawako. I have to say, I'm glad to see how far these two have come. Rizu becomes closer to Nariyuki and we see how much Nariyuki's influence on her has changed her for the better. As for Sawako, she is a fine character and I'm glad she finally got some time in the spotlight. This episode shows that thanks to Rizu, Sawako came to understand that intelligence is something to proud of and that is what got her so obsessed with Rizu in the first place. We Never Learn continues to be one of the finest shows in the season and I can't wait to see what happens next.

So, Sekijou is also a genius, based on her test score. Glad she isn't fall in harem circle, keeping the connection with only Ogata is a nice choice.

Ogata actually looks fine without bangs

This show really knows how to sell its waifus. I'm liking Rizu more and more this season.

But even when it's supposed to be her episode, Sekijo ends up stealing it, she's fucking great.

Freaking Nariyuki getting the best view with his harem MC luck... Shame we didn't get to see what he saw :(

I'm fully aboard this yuri ship, this precious girl needs to be happy.

That scream tho lmao.

Ok so Ogata trimmed her bangs, but still Nariyuki was still stupid to compliment her by saying she still same as ever, c'mon Nariyuki the answer was already in front of you...

And we have Sekijou being yuri for Ogata, even getting to mush her boobs.

Btw it seems that sekijou prepared for everything with her plans for Ogata, but it kinda looks like that she forgot to wear a panty.

Yuri episode is here!

And i liked it a lot! The whole 2nd half was Sawako and Ogata spotlight! It was cool to know about their pasts, and it was also fun to see how much Sawako likes Ogata lol, to the point where she even blushes xD (yuri meter rising up.....) and that cliche fall was not that cliche at the same time because it was girl on girl with the MC watching the spectacle haha.

1st half, Nariyuki, like many other harem protags, is as dense as a rock, but the girls' reactions to his stupidity were great xD With such an obvious change in Ogata's looks, he still didn't notice it right away lmao, AND HE WEARS GLASSES! THEFUCK NARIYUKI, HOW MANY DIOPTERS DO YOU HAVE?

Rizu with bangs? WOW she is becoming more aware. But Nariyuki being the smart aleck he is, he is EVEN MORE DENSE at even the subtle changes, so much so that even the two girls have to POINT OUT to him...oh the hilarious stupidity. Get a clue Nariyuki! Have your sister train you man...

And Sekijo is back with more Yuri. Even more funnier is her passion for Ogata, whilst Nariyuki being a passer-by. And hot damn, discovering Ogata for Sekijo was a blessing in disguise as a backstory, chasing her until the ends of the earth. And the "falling down" cliche was just the icing on the cake.

Another fun episode with hilarious insanity.

I knew immediately this would be an excellent episode if the first thing that came on screen were the adorable eyes of little Rizu and another thing that made this episode good was that Sawako was in this episode.
After cutting her bangs because of her father's fault, Rizu looks more childish, according to Fumino and Uruka (personally little Rizu will always be the most adorable thing in this anime, no matter what hairstyle she has), the fun of this is that she doesn't want Nariyuki to see her with her new hairstyle and the worst part was thanks to Sawako, Rizu thinks she looks weird with her new hairstyle.
The part where Rizu put on that weird costume to prevent Nariyuki from seeing her made me laugh a lot, but I felt bad for poor Nariyuki who thought that Rizu hated him, but Fumino ends this and removes the costume and she is exposed, but fortunately Nariyuki does not notice the difference, but it is this same reaction that awakens the anger of Fumino and Uruka for not noticing the change in Rizu's hairstyle.
The part in which Nariyuki asks for another opportunity was very nice, since Nariyuki did not succeed in Rizu's new look, he at least noticed something else that made the little Rizu very happy to the point of looking very adorable blushing.
The middle card with Sawaka using twintails was so cute, there should be an episode with her and Rizu trying different hairstyles.
The second half was dedicated to Sawako's happiness, since she and Rizu went shopping and Sawako put a lot of effort into this walk, her wardrobe made her look very feminine even Rizu makes her notice. Then they go to eat at different places and little Rizu looked very happy with so much attention from Sawako, but she notices the presence of Nariyuki and decides that he and Rizu do the shopping together and she leaves so that they both have time to them, but I felt so sad for poor Sawako with her flashback, but after seeing how Rizu changed her life and see how Sawako appreciated her so much.
Little Rizu is so precious, I loved how she fixed the situation with Sawako, but this had to end with the ecchi touch and Sakako falls on Rizu and her hands fall on the soft breasts of little Rizu and she is totally exposed before the eyes from Nariyuki, who is always the lucky one. The post-credit scene was too adorable, Rizu and Sawako have similar cases, Sawako's face of happiness is priceless, she is beautiful
The next episode looks promising.

I, for one, liked Rizu's hairstyle. :U

Okay, but real talk. Rizu's arc here was incredibly weak. I couldn't help but sit here and think, "Are we serious? Is that what we're on about right now?" They just keep giving Rizu the cruddiest times to shine which is a shame because she actually is a cute character. They could have done so much more with her on this. The big thing with her character is that she doesn't understand human interactions and doesn't even understand her own feelings toward Nariyuki sometimes. They kinda just lampshaded that though. A character like this needs more time and care put into her. You need to give her more time to explore that in a more meaningful way if it's supposed to go anywhere or if you want her to progress with herself or with Nariyuki.

They managed to make Sawako's arc, backstory, and overall character more interesting than Rizu, who is supposed to be a main character.;; Though, I must say, they also somehow managed to make Rizu more interesting when she interacts with Sawako. Actually, I'ma eve say, I'd root for Rizu and Sawako together more than Rizu and Nariyuki at this point because somehow they have more chemistry and it feels nice... like things are actually moving forward. In fact, can we just get some yuri spin off with these two? Like, legitimately I feel like their interactions, chemistry, and story is enough to move its own little yuri series if they just changed their names and put them in a different show altogether. That's how much more interesting they are as a duo to me. Rizu shouldn't only shine when interacting with Sawako though. They need to work on that.;;
