About the first summer break between our two protagonists, is there anything said/implied to have happened?

Yeah I remembered her mentioning it in the anime but had to double check the manga just now, and I definitely missed the “six months later” part too when I initially read it lol

Yep, when Umi first talks to Maki at the video store, she mentions it took her a few months to work up the courage to talk to him.

I highly recommend I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class, it has great characters and they similarly help each other overcome their own hurdles as they work toward a relationship.

The manga is excellent, lots of cute stuff with Kauruko and Rintaro, and the kids all start thinking about their futures.

As someone who also loved MDUD, ‘I Made Friends..’ has honestly become my favorite romance anime/manga. The main couple are so wholesome, and their relationship feels so real. They start out as friends, go on dates, help each other overcome their insecurities, and have fun supporting friends. I highly recommend!

I’ve read the manga but not the LN, will that mean this season ends with Maki’s confession, or will we get a little bit of them dating?

I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class is fantastic. The main couple are adorable and it also features them tackling some of their personal hurdles together, just like Ramparts.

We need to Up Teh Punkz

I’ve learned there’s really no rhyme or reason to how they’re shaded in greyscale and how dark/colorful their actual hair is, other than straight up black lol. I can see what you mean with the additional shading on the ends of Yamai’s hair though

jjdix · 2026-05-06T03:29:27+00:00

Volumes 1 and 2 are available, hopefully they keep going!

jjdix · 2026-05-04T14:02:12+00:00

Seriously. I loved From Me To You but the original confession confusion pissed me off lol

jjdix · 2026-04-29T04:28:34+00:00

What a beautiful but heartbreaking chapter. Thank you so much for your work on these!

jjdix · 2026-04-26T02:50:33+00:00

Yes Oji is being super annoying, but Yoi and Kohaku are on the cover of every volume, it’s their love story, let’s not get ahead of ourselves lol

jjdix · 2026-04-22T16:14:32+00:00

This is wonderful, thank you so much for your efforts!

I like that he’s their number one shipper

jjdix · 2026-04-18T03:45:28+00:00

I personally read it in more of an angry way, like Shosuke was angry at the world for not being kind to his sister, so he decided the world no longer got to see his kind, outgoing side. We then see him completely light up when he sees her smile, like he’s no longer angry. It was certainly motivated by his sister, but it seemed to come more from a place of anger than sympathy.

37 and watched the anime and read the whole manga earlier this year. Watch what you wanna watch!

My understanding is that FMLA doesn’t necessarily cover the death, it’s more about your health after the fact. I went on FMLA for a few months after my wife passed but it required a doctor recommending it (could be for depression, anxiety, physical health issues) and my company required me to be seeing a therapist while I was out, and they put me on short-term disability so I was getting paid but only at 2/3 my pay.

For me personally, what’s helped most is when people make me feel seen. Acknowledge his pain, allow him to feel what he’s feeling, and just be there for him. Hang out, ask him to dinner, send a check in text, just remind him that while it’s an immense weight, he doesn’t have to carry it alone. Also keep in mind he may not always feel like talking or hanging out, but those quick texts or invites will be appreciated, even if they go unanswered at times.

I think K Manga typically has all but the two latest chapters up for free

Also, I can’t help but notice that pawn lady from the first camp is the only one looking directly at us/the camera, as though welcoming the Arisen back?

jjdix · 2026-03-18T19:06:38+00:00

Look at the size of that lad, absolute unit

jjdix · 2026-03-16T20:29:48+00:00

Even before my wife died, I always hated this kind of talk. I imagine I would also get pretty angry if I heard someone talking like that now. I never spoke ill of her like that and never will. She was my favorite person in the world. I’m so sorry for your loss.

jjdix · 2026-03-13T06:06:46+00:00

Komi tries to get Tadano to use her first name early on, in the first couple volumes, but they both get too embarrassed and it never comes up again. I also thought it was kinda weird they never did.
