Here's hoping for a second season (and thankfully we got more chapters to look forward to!)

I wouldn't get my hopes up. When Square-Enix comics get popular enough to get an anime, they're about ready to drop it. Daily Lives of Highschool Boys and The Chronicles of The Going Home Club were both canceled within a couple months of the anime finishing.

I'm pretty sure Daily Live of Highschool Boys stopped because Bomber Grape just stopped making new chapters, not due to editorial decisions.

I knew getting to the last episode was going to hurt, but this is unbearable. Now I have to decide if I'm going to stay strong and wait for a second season or start binge reading the manga.

There were other good shows this season (Barakamon, Dandy) but Nozaki-kun is easily my favorite.

If this show does not get a second season then there is indeed no love in this world.

Also Chiyo achieved maximum adorableness this episode.

Episode cemented its first place position for anime of the year.

Now, anime gods, give us Chihayafuru S3 and Nozaki S2 in the same season and I will forever pray at your altar til the day I die.

I'm surprised it showed the flashback but didn't show Chiyo wearing only one ribbon being the inspiration for Mamiko's design.

I have no idea how likely a second season is, but I'm pretty glad we at least got this much!

You mean poor Mikorin, everyone else gets to have fun(?) times with someone else during the ending credits but Mikorin is all alone collecting capsule toys.

And with this, all that is good and beautiful in the world of anime has come to an end. Everyone happy on their own weird ways (except Ken-san, poor Ken-san), Nozaki being the most oblivious dumb guy in existence, and all is right with the world.

I was so bummed at the shortened version of how they first met. There was actual plot there with Mamikos design but Chiyo had one ribbon from the beginning! Also the gate gag is one of my faves. :( hubby refuses to read the manga! I may have to resort to spousal abuse.

Did the voice acting for Kashima seem a bit off this episode? The actress seemed to be switching between a super feminine and a more gravelly voice, and it threw me a bit. That aside, this whole series has been super cute and funny, and I am going to miss the heck out of it. S2 now plz

I was ashamed of seeing myself in Mikorin this episode. Totally complimenting other people and then excitedly awaiting to be complimented back. :negative:

I wish they had covered the Waka-Seo swimswuit hijinks - I think that was my favorite running joke from the manga.

Ugggh, this show is too good. I don't watch that much anime anymore, but I was totally stoked every time Sunday rolled around. I'm glad Chiyo's dreams came true, if only for a couple seconds. :3:

Yes please, that would rock hard. The ending scene with Chiyo and Nozaki was even better than I remembered it!

I was torn during that whole scene between "Okay when is the punchline going to drop" (which they expertly delayed) and "If they do an anime-only ending of him reciprocating her feelings I am totally okay with that, too". Honestly, even though the anime had a bit more focus on the romance than the manga does, those aspects were done well and usually served to make the gags even funnier by contrast.

Poor Chiyo-chan. I was really rooting for her at the end.

I was kind of dumbfounded when she said their relationship hasn't progressed at all, though. At the start of the series, she was just this borderline stalker person he didn't know existed. Now they're quite close friends. He's willing to eat off the floor for you Chiyo! Appreciate how far you've come.
