The story's tension comes from the mismatch of feelings surrounding the secret. After realizing her feelings for Mizuki, Izumi decides to pretend not to notice the secret in order to stay by her side, and Nakatsu, who was confused about being drawn to a fellow male student, realizes his feelings for Mizuki after a girl from another school confesses to him. School-wide and off-campus events such as the school trip, the dance party and a modeling scout are set up as devices that shake the relationships among these three.
It is available on Wavve with a subscription, and as indicated in the title, it is the subtitled version. Since it presents itself as a youth story wavering between love and friendship, viewers who watched the previous season will enjoy comparing how the distance among the three has changed.
