Didn’t expect a new director but it shouldn’t be a problem, ig. Season 1 felt fairly average but the second season was a lot better, so here’s to hoping that’ll continue over through here too. Summer ‘23, this show feels like it’s made for summer, lol. |

I've been reading (I use that word very loosely) the manga for a while now and it's been utterly dreadful, almost 100+ chapters of literally no story progression, in fact, some characters have regressed. Why this story has remained so popular, I can't possibly understand. It started off pretty decently and seemed like things were going well up until the vacation arc. After that arc, it's been rapidly declining in quality. I personally think the story should have ended during the vacation arc, seemed like the perfect place to conclude the story. |

So, I very highly doubt the manga is popular for it's romance and 'expression of emotions.' I think you're WAY overthinking things and the series is only popular because Mizuhara and the other girls are cute, that's literally it. |

How are you so sure that the series is only popular because "the girls are cute", the only character that has regresed is Kazuya since he was far btter built on the arc the third season will adapt, he surely got a couple of steps back. Other characters? Sumi barely appears and she was the lamest character of the bunch, so not much was lost, Ruka behaves as always, Mami is still as toxic as ever, and Chizuru makes perfect sense to me as to why she can't be sure for her feelings towards Kazuya. So, what was the regression again? |

So, what was the regression again? Because of how big waifu culture is in Japan, duh. And how literally any and all of the advertising and merchandise for the series is around the girls. Also, don't kid yourself, if you're still reading this series for the story, you don't exactly have great taste. 'So, what was the regression again?' Mizuhara and Kazuya were on the brink of confessing and actually starting a proper relationship during the vacation arc. But during that arc, the author basically hit the reset button on their relationship, hence completely regressing them. |

yes finally peak is back, kidding aside i just hope they animate the movie arc in a good way, the most development youll ever see of kazuya in the series, he almost becomes a normal human being (shocking ik). And then the author sh*ts in the character and we get back kazuya from s1. |

I actually stop reading it after the movie arc, cuz i feel the author regressed kazuya to how he was in s1. But most likely ill watch s3 cuz i really like the movie arc and pretty much everything between this arc and the vacation arc. |

You literally just described every ‘arc’ (if you can even call them that) of this story. Every single thing is dragged out as long as possible. Still doesn’t change the fact that the story should have ended during the vacation arc. |

Well, peak is back at last. Joking aside, I just hope they properly animate the movie arc. This is the greatest growth Kazuya has ever experienced in the series, and he almost resembles a normal human being (shocking ik). We then get Kazuya from episode one back after the author f*cks up the character. |

Wow, I'm really frustrated. A third season? Come on, just create a movie for this arc and wrap up the story. It's such an incredible storyline, and it deserved to be the manga's grand finale. It was the most enjoyable part for me, and it would have served as a fantastic conclusion. It's just disheartening to think that this show might face the same fate as the manga, simply because it's not getting the attention it deserves. This could have been a perfect opportunity to give it the ending it deserves. |

@cloudrcm You're late to the party, lmao.. third season was announced over a year ago and it just finished. Now we wait for the 4th. |
