<\/a>I\u2019m not a fan of Riku as a character, but she was right about one thing. This friend group is<\/em> pretty saintly<\/a> all things considered. It starts with Raidou and Aharen of course (whose level of mutual consideration is right off the charts). But it extends to all of them, even Oshiro who started off as a semi-antagonistic character. If anything I wonder if this series hasn\u2019t gotten a little bit too<\/em> nice, which in turn has made it a bit less funny this season (which it is). But there are signs of a bit of disharmony (or at least frustration) in certain quarters.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/lostinanime.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Aharen-san-wa-Hakarenai-Season-2-07-57.jpg\")
<\/a>It\u2019s time for the class trip. And I\u2019ll give Riku this too, that is a nausea-inducing prospect for the socially awkward<\/a>. Because the rules say groups of five, that means someone is going to be left out (and Riku assumes it will be her). Ishikawa-kun takes one for the team here, volunteering to be the one who goes elsewhere. He has plenty of friends, he says, and this is certainly a nice thing to do. But his ulterior motive confirms what has been hinted at for a while \u2013 he doesn\u2019t want to be a third wheel with Reina and Matsuboshi. And let\u2019s put it this way \u2013 the reason suggests Satou will ultimately be disappointed.<\/p>\n<\/a>If we\u2019ve been told where Aharen-san wa Hakarenai<\/em> is set I don\u2019t recall, but it\u2019s obviously not Tokyo as that\u2019s where the trip is headed. The group gets to choose where to head on their free day, and at the roundabout Raidou-kun suggests \u201cDesinySea\u201d. The girls are surprised but, he says, he remembered Reina expressing a desire to go there once. Matsuboshi really is, like, a perfect romantic partner. He\u2019s sensitive, he\u2019s selfless, and he has a memory like an elephant (well, for most things). You certainly don\u2019t have to twist four teenage girls\u2019 arms to go to Desiny anyway, so the suggestion is met with no resistance.<\/p>\n<\/a>To be honest, there really aren\u2019t many laughs in this episode. But I did enjoy that gag with the many Tokyo trees<\/a> (including \u201cCrytree\u201d and \u201cGoldeneye Tree\u201d). After a relatively uneventful first night (though it did seem as if the boys were going pretty hard with that pillow war), the gang heads off to Denisy the next day. Except Raidou has forgotten his ticket,<\/a> especially embarrassing as Riku notes that would be an incredibly kodomo-poi<\/em> thing to do and merit a spanking (to which Raidou is willing to submit himself<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/a>Reina\u2019s dream of watching the Denisy parade with Matsuboshi appears to be up in smoke, but after racing back to the hotel and finding his ticket in his suitcase, Matsuboshi gets a lift back from the teachers in time to splinter off from the group with Reina for some pair fun<\/a>. Most notable here is that Reina is so jacked up she\u2019s actually talking at a normal level \u2013 that\u2019s how much she wants to share the experience with her bae. There may not be enough comedy this season, but there\u2019s no denying these two are still one of the winningest couples in anime.<\/p>\n<\/a>Ishikawa flat-out admits to Hanako-san that he\u2019s competing with Reina (and basically giving up), though I\u2019m not sure she\u2019s ready to accept that reality yet. Back at home souvenirs are shared out to siblings (just what the heck those are<\/a> \u2013 some kind of \u201cTwisted Wonderland\u201d send-up? \u2013 I\u2019m not quite sure). Raido-imoutou is actually sweet and caring to her brother for once \u2013 though she goes back into full tsun mode as soon as she extracts her omiyage. And considering that Matsuboshi is just as considerate of little sisters as girlfriends, remembering her fondness for a certain moose (definitely not<\/em> Mickey), he probably deserved a lot better there.<\/p>\n
