Heh arm wrestling. Nishikata isn't actually bad at it. That is...until he faces off against Takagi.

The fact that one of the past incidents distracted him is rather cute and amusing imo. The teasing never ends. Nice to see Mina and her friends again. The vending machine part was also kinda cute.

This show's very light, yet so heartwarming. I love how Nishikata sorta learn from his past, but still loses anyways. And, damn Takagi, you're really got no honor in the arm wrestling, huh?

Takagi sure got him at arm wrestling, I knew he'd get flustered and lose from the beginning, haha. It's cool how she's leaving a bunch of hints that she loves him, she didn't at season 1. Very sweet episode.

The arm wrestling was just an excuse by Takagi to hold Nishikata's hand, how very cute! The bicycle story was also very cute, I guess she wanted to have fun with him without it.

Cute show and so innocent. Almost like a silent fart, it doesn't stand out. But it needs a bit of intensity, like throw in a test to their relationship/acquittance, like a third love interest to spice things up.

I knew it lol that Nishikata would get distracted holding her soft hands in the arm wrestling part. Also lol Takagi sure can read nishikata like an open book and come on man get a hint already Nishikata, she doesnt always tease u .Sometimes she really means it like when she wanted to hold hands at the guessing part.

Not even close bro. You know how these slice of life be, they will continue to have such sweet interactions forever. Its not that I am complaining. I love it the way it is.
No they are not close to hooking up and are very far from even confessing. (Ironic but the latest chapter in the manga is titled "CONFESSION")

Anybody wondering about Takagi's second answer/response, it was "I wanted to walk to school holding your hand, that is why I left it.".

This anime is so goddman sweet.

Yet another cute and heartwarming episode and as always, the win goes to Takagi. Nishikata's plans always backfires on him lol

He does three for every time Takagi teases him, if you think of how many times Takagi does tease him throughout the day... that's why he can't tell his friends how many push-ups he does a day, because one day she might tease him 5 times, the next might be 10 times... we only know that she always wins. And he does pushups as self punishment.

In the spin-off manga he does have an impressive six-pack.

Well she didn’t lie, if it were for her she would go all days holding hands with him but I do believe that she left her bike because the brakes, she didn’t cheat with lies but there was no way of nishikata wining in the end.

but they showed their married life that's more than enough. If they hooked up the series will end so I'm good.

I see. It's not like I'm in a rush or anything but the (Moto) manga had already shown flashbacks to what people are speculating to be


These scenes more or less show them at their current art-style in season 2 (age, appearance, etc).

This episode had extreme doses of sweetness, Nishikata can be strong among his friends, but Takagi-chan has the power of teasing and that makes her invincible.
I knew when they showed Takagi watching Nishikata playing arm wrestling, she planned in her mind how to tease him.
Nishikata remembered when he took Takagi-chan's hand to save her from falling to the river and he blushed, obviously Takagi noticed that and did not miss the opportunity of teasing him.
How cute was when Nishikata describes what it is like to hold Takagi-chan's hand, but then we see how Takagi-chan struggle to move Nishikata hand, that was extremely adorable, but in the end it was all a trap planned by Takagi and so Nishikata lost and then to ask for the rematch, Nishikata loses for the second time, but at least she helps him finish cleaning the room and then go home together, in the end they both won.
Mina is too cute, among the side characters she is my favorite, I found it too adorable that she tried to act more adult in front of Sanae and Yukari.

It's funny that all Nishikata classmates believe he and Takagi are a couple and Nishikata is the only one to deny it.
Nishikata tries to drink coffee to look more grown-up, but he can't stand bitter things and in the end his plan fails and Takagi-chan tees him with his failure, but it seemed too adorable to see Takagi offer to change drinks and the part in which Takagi She offers Nishikata a sip of her drink and then she tease him with indirect kiss was so hilarious.
The last segment with the challenge of knowing what happened to Takagi's bike made me laugh for a while, from the beginning Nishikata never had a chance to win, Takagi-chan had the boy dancing in the palm of his hand, but in the end it was Obviously, Takagi just wanted to walk with Nishikata.

Takagi's close-ups were beautiful, every time I see a close up of her staring at Nishikata, the sweetness breaks limits, it's too adorable, I'm grateful for this beautiful second season.

Oh, I didn't speculated it as a prior confession scene but I see why people think it is. Although I personally don't think so. Doesn't matter as long as the series continue.
BTW thanks for sharing.

Dayum Nishikata, you lost at the romantic aspect of arm wrestling.

Even worse, the simple reason of Takagi wanting to walk with Nishikata even when she doesn't have her bike. Loosen your grip ya boy!

"Tell us Kimura", as always Kimura is the boss of this anime. Also, what? Takagi just trolled Nishikata into guessing some reason why she doesn't have a bicycle that day. I don't like this part cause I thought Nishikata was right to guess that the brake is the reason, but the scene where they tour is a good one... I guess it is balanced. Nishikata always makes this victory smile but still doesn't win, I'd like to see both of them in college... That would be pretty matured, I guess.

My favorite episode so far among this second season, i mean i love the whole part of this one especially the ARM WRESTLING AND THE BIKE PART..

Arm wrestling- or the HOLDING HANDS PART 😍😍😍😍, at the start alone, when he is being asked by his friends how he became strong, the scene said while he is having some push up, he is saying takagi... ohh thats the MOTIVATION... 😍😍😍😍

AND WHEN TAKAGI AND HE DID IT, HE LOSE TWICE. HAHAHA... but for me he is still a BIG WINNER SINCE HE HAS ABLE TO HOLD TAKAGI- SAN HANDS AND thats 2x in a row. Yeah!!!

BIKE PART- or shall i say DATE PART- that whole part showed how Takagi is still kid at heart, but you cant remove the fact that MOMENT they have is so SWEET.

Love this episode and im going to rewatch it later. Its so sweet... 😍😍😍

Of course she would tease him to win the wrestling match, though I did not think he would fall for the "I'm acting like I'm horribly weak" trick. When it comes to the bike I was actually sure the "brakes" answer was the right one after all, well play Takagi-san.

The arm wrestling though lol.

Nishikata's relentless pushups sure helped him though.

The simple reason of Takagi not having a bicycle was cause she was hoping to hold hands with Nishikata on their way to school (I guess) :)

Arm wrestling but it's Brawns vs Brains and we all know who's who guess he needed more tips from Saitama but hey those push ups are still a great start

Still can't handle the bitterness of coffee I swear that isn't the signal in becoming like an adult more like a habit

Well Takagi should do this more often than not it's refreshing to see them walk around to school.

him getting embarassment was really cute too but question, are guys' hands really that different?? this always happens like "her hands are so softt" or "i guess he is a guy huh, his hands are big.." i thought those were just reactions since they usually like the other person but🤔🤔🤔
