Now that is quite a promotional artwork cover.

Neat episode and we got Kokonotsu going out on his own to build his future. The delusion though...I think he may have overestimated himself a bit. It's no doubt that Hotaru is still on his mind too.

Speaking of which...she's back at last!

She finally appeared!!
And it was about time for her return and she came at the best time, the most depressing moment.
I wonder how she is going to cheer things up this time.

I feel bad for Kokonotsu for not having his manga passed. He set his expectations way too high, but at least he worked hard on it. It's good to see Hotaru again. She came back at just the best time, so she can cheer him up.

His manga wasn't good enough, he can always try another time.

Just like what i said last week, hotaru appear at the final minute. I hope they put a good thing at the final episode next week.

I hope kokonotsu didn't give up with his mangaka passion after that event

Man, poor Kokonotsu, after all that effort, his manga didn't approved. I wonder if he is even going to stick with it, considering the results and the flaws the editor told him (his distractions and excuses).

And finally Hotaru returns. I though the show will troll us when she appeared in Kokonotsu's fantasy about how his manga would become successful, but, thankfully, she appeared for real at the end. I hope she manages to comfort Kokonotsu by the end of the season.

Nice Swish there, Tou-kun. You're still useless, though.

Thanks for the coffee, Saya, and even some actual help with the manga too!

Well, can't expect to have your first manga praised anyway, it will always take more work to get to where a publisher would want you.

And sadly it seems Hotaru has now returned to get in his way again.

Wait is that all???

The show is ending next episode and we ended this episode at a cliffhanger and Hotaru shows up at this point. God knows how the next episode will turn out. Here's hoping it's marginally conclusive at least

That must be really hurt for Kokonotsu..That moment when the editor accepted his manga, I felt something off.. And I was right, it was just his delusion. Finally, Hotaru is back. I wonder where she has been all this time.

Not really,she's obviously there to either -

a - cheer him up with some sweeties,and keep him warm in the railway shack.
b - rub it in that all along she's been more interested in his dad :)
c - make him realise that Dagashi Kashi season 3 is the way to go anyway.
d - finally tell him that Saya is a trap!
e - reveal that she herself is a trap!
f - that all along he's been in a fantasy Dagashi world,after looking through a mysterious mirror suspended above a weird sweetie portal,and that bastardo of a manga reviewer was the evil Demon Lord he was supposed to defeat.
g - or maybe all of the above.
I could go on up to z,but hey,I can't be bothered,since SHE'S BACK! ;)
Btw,has anyone noticed how good Hotaro's butt looks in the op,the bit where she's walking away and you can see her from the back,and the bit at the end where she sticks her butt out and puts her hand on her hip.
Man,she has a nice butt,unless of course,she is actually a trap!

At last she's back!
Shidare Hotaru is really perfectly meaty waifu!
the manga that Kokonotsu and others worked-on in the past three months ended in just 5 minutes. life's destiny/fate is a bitch! oh well, Kokonotsu might as well go ahead and tell the whole story to Hotaru and she might comfort him/..in a lewd way! omg! another spark for h-doujins! haha!
5/5.

When you get through a massive project after procrastinating (although to be fair, Kokonuts had shit to do), and it comes out Ok, but not a distinction effort.

Nice feels, and Saya and Hajime café scene together was a nice bonding moment.

As much as I have enjoyed the first series, I'll be somewhat glad when this season ends. It's been fun, but remains a little unsatisfying, much like the Dagashi it's based on. Not sure if I would want a third season.

God, that feedback was so shoehorned. How could that guy possibly know about how he managed his time or whether he put up any excuses? lol. Not to mention he speaks too much for someone in an industry that publishes absolute bullcrap more often than not and that stresses its workers with impossible deadlines.
