Ok, I'm aware that this series has both a manga and a light novel series, but i've not seen any of them. However, I've watched S1 of this series. And I've seen a few reviews written about this series in MAL too, and most say this seires is not that good. I disagree, my reasons are below... [Specialty-Harem and Slow Romance] [Weakness- some unconnected episodes and unexplained stuff] Story:6 To be honest it's a bit disappointing. Cause there were quite a lot of scenes loaded with some form of fanservice, or at least were short on details. I infer that a lot of content from the light novel hasbeen cut out.

Those who watch this after S1 may feel a bit dismal at the quality of the storyline. Reason being: the main focus of Haruka being an otaku is gone, cos she no longer has to keep it a secret, and the original plot you can't really see it in S2. S2 is more of the romance build-up between Haruka and Yuuto (slow type, like Yume de Aetara manga), some unconnected episodes featuring new girls who fall in love with Yuuto, and some events here and there.

I really like the unconnected harem episodes where Haruka disappears and the episodes where Yuuto and Haruka "bond together", cause there were often many emotional scenes. That's why although the S2 isn't as exciting as the first, it is still of a fairly high quality in storyline and progression.

The ending was similar to S1, and still a lot of harem relationships were still not resolved and unexplained (That's why I said they are unconnected).

Art:8
Fairly hgih quality, a few great special effects, but not much change of art quality. Same to S1.

Sound:8
It may be a mistake, but I actually felt that S2 is better than S1 in terms of the bgms. They were well-placed and well-cut-off and as usual, the voice acting is good, some parts having excellent voice acting. And the bgms really raised the mood for most of the scenes, especially the emotional ones.

Character:6
This is quite sad. A lot of characters show up but play almost no part in any of the episodes, for example the rest of the maid team that did not show up in S1. Then a lot of side characters may disappear for 3 or more eps then come back again. And the new girls who fall in love with Yuuto (Yes, the harem is realistic) may feature in only 1 or 2 full episodes then disappear again.

1 major flaw could be that Haruka isn't really an otaku or a very well-known girl in this season. Most of the times I have an impression that she is just a normal girl who likes 1 show, the Lacrosse High School Club or sth. So, S2 is really not as exciting as S1 as 2 unique points of the main female character had been more or less abandoned.

And 1 problem with Yuuto is he's really really super dense. It 'wows' me at times. And he's also super super kind at the "right" times. A little too perfect of a gentleman...

Enjoyment:6-8
Really can't decide. At the end of S2 I feel quite empty. Cause a lot of things were unexplained and unresolved. So many things that I wonder if S2 is following the main novel. Some potential passed on from S1 were still undeveloped in S2. Really sad...

But to be honest I liked S2, some eps were very touching, and at other times inspirational. I enjoyed the very realistic setting of the romance featured between 2 reserved people, and could really feel the love between the 2.
Aww
