Happy ending?
Caught up with the anime and that last episode was kinda depressing lol. I’m aware of the love triangle stuff and that it gets resolved, so based on volume 10s synopsis, do yall think it’s going to be a good, or bitter ending?
If they do officially release the light novels in English...
I hope they give each volume different titles. The full title only works for the first volume after all, and even "The Second Prettiest Girl In My Class" isn't accurate for every volume. Though I'm aware this will never happen because the original author didn't title them differently. (I'd still keep the volume number for reading order, like how Haruhi and Rascal does them.)
How I'd title them is something like this (and I hope they don't spoil too heavily)
- I Made Friends with The Second Prettiest Girl in My Class
- I Fell in Love with The Second Prettiest Girl in My Class
- New Year and Valentine's with The Second Prettiest Girl in My Class
- The Second Prettiest Girl in My Class: Second Year, Different Class!
- The Second Prettiest Girl in My Class: Vacation and Summer Break with Her
- The Second Prettiest Girl in My Class: September Sports Festival!
- The Second Prettiest Girl in My Class: But What About the First Prettiest?
- The Second Prettiest Girl in My Class: One Year On!
- The Second Prettiest Girl in My Class: Third Year, Same Class Again!
- The Second Prettiest Girl in My Class: What the Future Holds for Us
(Extra Volume 7.5, if it gets translated, would be titled something like "The Second Prettiest Girl in My Class: From Their Perspective")
P.S. I'm aware they're already translating the manga but that takes three volumes to cover one LN volume.

Maybe you should watch Episode 7 first before watching this?
Didn't expect this series to actually cover a J-Pop song, and a Koresawa song at that! Had fun doing this too, although it's a bit rushed since I wanted to get this out as soon as possible! Hope you guys enjoy :D
This song was originally released by Koresawa on November 20, 2024 and later became part of her album "Atashi wo Eranda Kimi to Erabanakatta Kimi e" (To You, the Person Who Chose Me and You, the Person Who Didn't) in 2025.
Stream the original by Koresawa here! (and play the Asanagi Umi version here!)
Was this scene also in the LN? When yes Im very mad they skipped this.

This has reached new levels of bad writing
I'm specifically talking about the events of episode 7.
Maki's fears about love, resulting from his father leaving and his parent's divorcing, is the main reason that he's hesitant to confess and move forward with his relationship with Umi, right?
So sure enough, when Maki is seemingly finally going to take that step, his father miraculously happens to be in the exact same spot in the city at the exact moment he's about to confess. And immediately before he can say the words to Umi, a woman calls out to his father, who just happens to be standing so close to Maki that he can hear it over the dozens of people surrounding him in the busy city square. And of course this causes the most egregious use of the interrupted confession cliche that I've ever seen.
Could they really not have come up with ANY other reason to not have him confess yet that wasn't so unbelievably lazy and impossibly coincidental? A meteor hitting Umi on the head would have been better than this.
Is it really better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all?
Like, I am curious about it, and have never loved anyone for entire existence of mine but seeing Maki and his parents situations do made me ponder. Like how the hell could he know it will go well with Umi for God knows how long? Like most people around me would say it is to make you grow and be a better person, but like as something of an engineer myself I know you don't need to experience death and pain to know how a machine could go wrong. Like I would like to approach everything like a scientist and I don't think you need to be lost just to gain experience to be a better person. Maki and Umi is lucky to have each other and share hobbies but all those things could fade after time if you think about it. After experiencing all that I can understand why Maki is hesitant to Umi but is it the right thing to love in the first place? After all that it might end up badly who knows ? Now I know this is fiction and everything is gonna be alright for them but you get the question. Like it is worth it to love then get the pain or just never to love at all, and if it is for experience and growing as a person I would like to argue it is not the key point here, it is better to love in the first place ?
