Like some people here have already said, watch this season only if you enjoyed the 1st one, and are thereby interested in seeing some more of it. I am personally disappointed with it, because it's practically the same as the 1st season (with more ecchi moments in this one), so nothing really meaningful happened. I waited and waited...but..it was so predictable, unfortunately. However, i WILL watch the final 4 OVAs just for the closure.

This exhibits symptoms of "Oh crap, we went all-out for the first season because we weren't expecting it to do that well, but it ended up being really popular and now we have to make a sequel" syndrome. It doesn't quite live up to the first season, but it's worth a watch for anybody who's seen the first season already.

Better than the first one. More ecchi, less "plot" and tons of eye-candy. Fans of the less serious brand of school romance and love polygon + ecchi lovers should enjoy this series quite alot. I know I did. Recommended.

I don't know why ppl say this was worse than the previous one...There was more character development among the protagonists and even among supporting characters(which i personally found annoying) the romance was more bold and they took ecchi to it's next level for this series(first season was barely ecchi) by adding tons of fan service in a nice way!I personally liked it as a continuation but i cannot accept that there was NO Complete kissing scene or at least a confession scene..For this series to be redeemed they need to add a LOT MORE to the next season!Either way recommended

Both series are typical and average romannce/comedy (~7 depending on episode). If you like this genre, you will not get bored. As for me, I think that there is no need for 3rd season as ending here was quite clear (credits and time after credits are often part of an ending too).

Pretty much the same as the first season, except there is one arc that was pretty lame and I skipped it entirely, which 86'd about 1/4 of the season for me... didn't like this as much as the first, if there is a number 3 I hope it's the last and it resolves everything.

its very cute and not your average romance anime, with the comedy and trials each episode will leave you wanting the next. Overall must see hope they make a 3rd season :D

Basically the exact same stuff happens here that already happened in the 1st season so it got boring for me. I did enjoy the last few episodes towards the end since a little drama came from it, something lacking in this anime. It could be just me, but I foresee a 3rd season, cause nothing was really settled. For those that enjoyed the 1st season, this is the exact same material just in a different season, but for those that didn't like the 1st season, then I suggest you watch something else.

female, , blue eyesThis character has blue-colored eyes., drill hairAn easy way to tell if a female character in Japanese media is of high social standing is to not look for a crown or an Ermine Cape, but to look at the front of her head.

Needless to say, this is pretty much mandatory for the Ojou. Some Elegant Gothic Lolitas also sport this hairstyle., hair ribbonHair ribbons are ribbons used both as hair decorations and as hair ties. Hair ribbons are often tied into bows. They may also be present as part of a hairband.

OL stock characters are frequently found in josei manga and anime, often portrayed as attractive, clever, and wistful individuals bored with their jobs, over-pressured by their families, and facing psychological issues.
