"Masamune-kun no Revenge" Season 2 is significantly better than the first season in terms of character development. It reduces the unnecessary secondary characters from the first season. While it introduces characters like Muriel early on, it's not a significant issue.
The pacing of the story in this season is much tighter, which is a plus. However, the rapid shifts in mood, especially in the comedy aspects, can be excessive. The fast-paced storytelling can sometimes make it challenging to connect with the characters' emotions effectively.
The character Adagaki Aki displays significant development, especially stemming from the latter part of the first season. At that time, Aki begins to

develop feelings for Masamune, and she becomes much more determined to pursue him. When she discovers the notebook related to Masamune's revenge, it raises questions about her feelings for him. However, it is later revealed that Aki still desires to be with Masamune, as seen in episode 9.
The problem arises when Aki supports Yoshino in pursuing a romantic relationship with Masamune and indirectly contributes to Masamune's decision to leave her behind. Aki's actions in the series, particularly the scene in which she sees Masamune hugging Yoshino with his genuine feelings in episode 8, could have had a more substantial impact on her character. If her character had seen it differently, it would have had a more profound influence on Aki's decision-making process, making her character development even more pronounced.
Regarding Makabe Masamune, the show doesn't expand much on the issue of bullying and body image compared to what could have been done. The first season had similar issues. Masamune's character could have been more compelling if the story delved deeper into his misunderstandings about Aki and his feelings towards her, as well as his struggle with his own body image.
In summary, "Masamune-kun no Revenge" Season 2 has the potential to be even better if it further develops its characters and maintains a balanced pace, allowing viewers to connect with the characters' emotions more effectively.
