They gave us more, just as I hoped
In this second season there are double the episodes that of the first, so at first I was worried that things would become too monotonous if they kept the same atmosphere the entire time. Luckily that wasn't the case!
I was happy to see that, rather than keeping the same formula without changing things here and there, they chose to expand Nomoto and Kasuga's respective worlds (namely their interactions with other people at work and other personal connections they don't have in common), and their shared meals and encounters also started to include more people and different experiences along the way. The two new secondary characters were a great addition that won me over quickly and helped to keep things fresh and entertaining.
Their relationship didn't exactly need to change, and nobody at any point says that there was any need for it to happen, but it naturally develops and grows into a different shape that is still unmistakably THEM. Once more I found myself laughing, crying, giggling, squealing and kicking my feet for these two.
Just like the first season, this second season also introduces multiple important themes related to feminism, mental health, and LGBTQIA+ identities and rights. Some matters were shown and explored properly, while others were only mentioned briefly without any further explanation about the topic, which I found a little disappointing, but it didn't ruin my enjoyment overall.
This season can be enjoyed on its own without much trouble, but I highly recommend watching the first season for the full experience.
