I like the fact that it is more realistic, them being in collage an d all that but I found that Natsu character very annoying. All else is pretty good, though, I thought the first season is excellent and a bit better. Perhaps just fresher. What I liked was the college researcher, she did a good job and seemed realistic. I like Nao's cute young friend who gave some liveliness to the set. The girl who liked Dai-chan was my favorite. good looking and played a nice part that supports the stories. Uehara was good too, though his part is so good, not sure he has to put out much to do a good job. Abe continued the butterfly and it remained refreshing. I also liked the different location moving from Megura-gawa to just west of Shinjuku.
