Overview

Class de 2-banme ni Kawaii Onnanoko to Tomodachi ni Natta (I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class) adapts Takata's light novels, is produced by CONNECT, runs 12 episodes and began airing on 7/4/2026. Maki Maehara, the class outcast, finally makes his first friend in Umi Asanagi.

OtaHub's take

Umi is the second-prettiest girl in class and the center of everyone's attention, which convinces Maki she is out of his league. As their friendship grows, he starts to wonder whether there could be more between them. The genres are comedy and romance. Hideki Tachibana directs, Keiichirou Oochi handles series composition, and the data lists no related entries.

Verdict

It suits viewers who like gentle, slow school romcoms with endearingly awkward moments. It starts from the beginning, so you can watch right away.
