The happiest ending of all time, that can't help but make you smile
I have now completed the second season of Kimi ni Todoke: Reaching You, and I can confidently say that the second season is just as amazing as the first!.

The second season begins immediately almost after the ending of the first season, and overall brings the series to a satisfying close while utilizing everything that made the first season great. First, let me get the bad out of the way. I've seen a lot of romance anime. In almost every drama/romance there is almost always the third wheel in the love triangle, who the writers intentionally make you hate, or if it's a good show, relate to. In Kimi ni Todoke season 2 this character is Kento Miura. While this was trope was present in the first season with Kurumi, it was vastly different. Kurumi was relatable to most people in the audience who had ever had longstanding crushes that they could never make a move on. Kento gets introduced in the first episode and by episode 5 he's already confessed to Kuronuma. This all just moves way too quickly for the viewer to even understand who Kento is besides just this random guy who is there to progress the plot and for the viewers to hate. And believe me, I do hate him.

This season turns the shoujo - slice of life into a complete shoujo drama. While there are the occasional bits of comedic relief towards the beginning of the season, in the latter half of the season, it is all feels and drama with hardly any time for anything else. I am very happy with how they paced the relationship between Kuronuma and Kazehaya in this season though! I think that it had one of the most moving and heartfelt confessions I have ever seen in an anime and changed everything about the confession scene that Toradora! should have. Before I knew it, I found my self realizing just how much I had grown to like the characters, from the main two (Kazehaya and Kuronuma) to the side relationship (Ryu and Chizu), to even Kuronuma's parents! Overall, if you are reading this you have probably seen the first season and you should definitely watch this one as well, as it is the best possible way that the writers could have ended this story (I know the manga goes on further, but the way the anime ends is satisfying in its own right). I give this an 85/100, because while it is an amazing finale, that's all it really serves to be. A finale. When placed as a standalone, this anime may fall apart but the connections between all the characters that finally unravel and intertwine make this as great of a sequel as it is.

-10 points for non-fleshed out Third wheel trope
-5 points because some parts seem unnecessarily dragged out just to make sure the two don't kiss or get together too early
