お隣の天使様にいつの間にか駄目人間にされていた件2

Trying to keep the relationship secret from Amane's parents was silly, so I'm glad that collapsed pretty much instantly. And considering their reactions to Mahiru up to this point, why in the world did he ever think they wouldn't be extremely pleased about the development. Going for a "the best revenge is living well" approach to handling the bully, probably better than Mahiru straight up punching him though I did kind of want to see that. First episode without couch-san, perhaps? They made up for it with bed-kun filling in for that final makeout scene.

Nothing beats coming home hand-in-hand with your beautiful and adoring girlfriend! And Amane's mom is definitely happy to see Mahiru (maybe more than she is to see her own biological son) and treat her to the classic Fujimiya cooking! But Amane, don't leave Mahiru's hand all by its lonesome for too long! Did they really think they could hide they were a couple from their parents? I mean, what boy brings a girl he's not dating home to see his parents? Next thing you know they're sleeping in rooms right next to each other with connected balconies for late night rendesvous and the Fujimiya's get to enjoy the peak Amane and Mahiru flirting over at the dinner table. I don't think Amane ever wanted to hear his mom asked if he'd "sealed the deal" with Mahiru, but I feel like all the mom cares about is getting the marriage registration paperwork done so Mahiru can officially be her daughter. He's already got the domestic skills of a good husband. There was no way Amane was going to get away without Mahiru discovering his embarrassing childhood secrets/photos, but it was worth it to tickle torture her, hold her tight against him, and exchange cheek kisses with her. I can actually totally imagine Shihoko being this unrestrained and hardcore flirting monster as a teenager. Basically Mahiru without any filter or reservation (which is saying something). Amane and Mahiru catching up on the childhood she lost by playing games together would actually be pretty cute. Guess it was too much to hope Amane could avoid Tojo for the rest of his life, and Tojo is still a complete piece of @!#%, but at least now Amane has grown enough that Tojo's jibes don't get to him and he has Mahiru there to validate how important and precious Amane is to her and how shallow and empty Tojo is by comparison. They basically killed him with kindness! So Mahiru gets her hair color from her father? Or I guess sperm donor would be more accurate. Our lovebirds can't get enough of each other together on a balcony, they have to take it back to the bedroom...so Amane can FINALLY kiss Mahiru on the lips! And Mahiru isn't satisfied with just one kiss! And then it's another...and another...and another...these two can't stop kissing each other! Next thing you know they're playfully teasing each other and falling into bed together. Things are moving fast for these two.

Flirting and handholding in front of his old bully was the ultimate flex – not that Amane had such intentions in the first place. All he wanted was to let Tojo know he’s not the same person he was then. Chances are Tojo’s single, which made the flex stung even more. For Amane to get himself a girl who would stand up for him the way she did while Tojo himself was all alone. Meanwhile, Amane’s parents defo were intentional with that room arrangement. Nominally separating the two while giving them the opportunity to be together. Did Amane really think that his parents wouldn’t know about his relationship? Love Shuuto engaging in the classic dad move of telling his son’s girl his embarrassing past.

The trip to see his parents, so that's how the bully that was teased last episode shows back up. Makes sense. I wonder if Mom saw them holding hands despite acting like she did not. And Mom is going to be a riot again thank goodness. She was such a sweet part of last season the few times she showed up. Dad seeing right through Amane is no surprise. Part of me wondered if they were going to put Mahiru in Amane's room to hurry up the relationship but I guess the parents are not that pushy (yet). But they do share a balcony! Mahiru is in full flirt mode in front of the parents... and of course Dad wants a chance to tell stories about Amane without him there to interrupt. HAHAHAHAHA "How far have you and Mahiru gotten" and she assumes they've already had sex. Yeah these two continue to be diabetes in human form. And the parents play self insert for the audience here. Oh my god that shot from his view looking down at her snuggling into him is adorable. And going around town, I assume that's going to be when they run into the bully. I love that the parents are still so lovey dovey when they've been married long enough to have a HS son. Yup when they went into the shade I thought we'd get the bully finally. Mahiru talked about wanting to punch them last season, so lets see how THIS goes. So he's not even trying to act like a decent human being for Mahiru's sake to impress the pretty girl. Dude is just a shit stain. And Amane doing another one of her nice yet savage take downs. We had to wait for episode 12 to get one last time. And part of me wondered if Tojo was going to run up and punch Amane after all that shit talking but this is not that sorta show. ...That's the angle we get for the first kiss? Oh come on. At least they gave us follow ups with better ones. I was a bit down on the first two episodes, particularly with how many other great romances we're getting this season, but this one felt far more in form like what I loved about season 1. Hopefully it keeps that up the rest of the season. Also what was Mahiru wearing in that last shot of the preview? Couldn't see anything covering her shoulders at all.

Family visit time! It's always nice seeing Amane's family so affectionate with Mahiru since she's been lacking in that department. I love how Mahiru doesn't really care when people talk shit about her but will always fiercely defend Amane when people talk shit about him. Also, i'm glad Amane finally gets closure on that part of his life. Amane and Mahiru are making more progress with their intimacy. Now they're finally at the stage where they're comfortable with kissing and spooning. Also, is Mahiru naked in the next episode preview? Did they actually go *there?*

Yeah they're definitely going to make love this season, so much in this episode has made me confident of that, and I'm looking forward to seeing what it'll take to take their relationship to the next level. I'm going to assume it'll happen after Mahiru's arc.  I really enjoyed seeing Amane's parents, they already knew lol. I wanted to see Mahiru and Shuuto's conversation so that's a little unfortunate, but they all looked like they were enjoying themselves, it's nice when the in-laws feel like family.  I really liked the interaction with the former classmate, the way Mahiru and Amane stood their ground and particularly Amane's ending comments was so damn satisfying. The confidence he has now to thank him because it lead him to meet Mahiru and become a couple, he found his happiness, was great to see. The guy couldn't even speak back, he thought he could knock Amane down again but he was the small guy.  I think this episode is the one where I found the lack of animation budget to be most disappointing, the way that first kiss was handled was so lacking, it felt very awkwardly done, I wish they had added some more romantic effect there with fluid animation. It's supposed to be a highlight scene. I still enjoyed the intimacy though, I just know it had more potential to be better.

They must have been deferring the sweetness (or at least some of it) from the second episode to this episode because of how horny Mahiru was in the second episode, because they immediately hit you with the sweetness with the noise she makes when Amane lets go of her hand. I have to wonder what his plan was though. How did he think they would hide that they're dating. They suck at hiding things. They were the last ones to know that they were dating so it's not like his parents don't already know. It's so nice to see an anime MC that has present, loving, supportive parents. And of it's always more fun when the parents are shippers and do show and tell of embarrassing pictures and stories with who they brought home. That's what parents do when their son brings home a girl they like. When they went out while his parents were working I thought it'd be just a fun cutesy "show my girlfriend around my hometown" date. I was not expecting another cathartic smackdown like in Mahiru got in season 1, but I enjoyed that. He thanked Tojo for the way he treated him because that lead to him meeting Mahiru then walked away like a chad. Considering it took an entire season for them to get together officially, but we got their first kisses on the lips at the end of episode 3 I'm now wondering what more could be in store for season 2. I don't think sex is completely off the table as much I thought before this season which is actually kind of hilarious. For series that's so wholesome and sweet, it's incredible how horny these two dorks are for each other.

This isn't your normal every day diabetes, this is... ADVANCED diabetes. But that's seriously a compliment, it's so wholesome how they each have their own journeys of growth and how they support each other on those journeys. This show particularly resonates with me as well because I'm finding myself relating a hell of a lot to Amane as a protagonist. I'm an only male child who grew up in a loving household and when I was his age I also had struggles with parents "embarrassing" me to friends. Amane left the nest early as well which led to a lot of maturing for him, I left home (on good terms) early as well and it also led to a journey of growth for me. And the Tojo scene, while I wasn't per se bullied as much, I did feel like a bit of an outcast in school in some ways but it helped me become more confident to reach out past then. And I was also quite shy when it came to romance too at that age. Props to you, Saekisan

Amane can’t fool his momma. She knew from the get go those two were dating. Their default is lovey dovey mode just like her and Amane’s dad lol. Dude has some great parents. Really nice seeing Mahiru stand up for Amane in front of Tojo, not that he needed it. Dude’s grown a lot and he’s got an amazing girlfriend. Tojo seems to be the same pathetic douchebag he was back then. Who’s really the “lame” one here?
