[00:02] then let's say that the second most popular girl in the class inexplicably had similar interests to you and decides to adopt you and keep you company and break you out of your shell. Well, if it did, it would be the second time this
[00:16] season that I've brought that up in the show synopsis. Today is day five of me from spring 2026 and ranking the first episodes accordingly. This is I made friends with the second prettiest girl in my class, which does exactly what it
[00:30] says on the tin. You got a high school rom-com with an overly forward girl who has chosen the unlikely shy awkward nerd to spend her time with much to his become girlfriend and boyfriend? Depending on how you look at it, they're
[00:44] already doing that. They match introverted interests so well that it's crazy. And yet, she's also perfect enough to keep her body in shape and spending some time with our protagonist at his apartment. They are going to be
[00:58] lovey-dovey time. And if you want 12 episodes of that, then this will give you exactly what you are [music] asking for. Most likely. For me though, well, with everything else that I have to pick and choose this season, while I can't
[01:11] point to any major flaws with the series beyond perhaps originality, I also can't say that it has any standout elements either. So, see to hear from me.
