As the second season begins, Rikka, who was living a lovey-dovey life with Yuuta, finally meets her biggest rival, Nanamiya! How will Rikka face someone who knows Yuuta better than she does? We will introduce you to Rikka's struggles.

Rikka clings to the ceiling of Yuuta's room

When he woke up, he found Rikka clinging to the ceiling, having created a platform. She started explaining something about gravity, as per usual, and then fell. She landed perfectly on Yuuta's stomach. But even in that position, her skirt still wouldn't lift...

Rikka senses danger from Shichimiya just by meeting him face to face

He recognized Nanamiya as a powerful wizard (in a chuunibyou sense), even more powerful than Tohka, and even went so far as to rate her as one of the strongest in the demon world.

Rikka is jealous when she sees Yuuta and Nanamiya getting along well

Yuuta steps in to stop them, but only chops Rikka. He responds with a dissatisfied look on his face, saying "Why only me?", and then he chops only Nanamiya and seems to enjoy it, which makes me jealous too.

Rikka cuts the rope without question.

After that, he repeatedly said "Hana...", and after receiving a promise from Yuuta to "Pochi Hana" and "stay away from girls other than Rikka", he seemed to improve his mood in the end.

Rikka allows Morika to borrow Tokomori, but...

However, Tokoromori respects Morisummer second only to Rikka, and when Kumin-senpai tells him, "At this rate, I might become Morisumama's Servant," he opens his mouth wide and panics.

Rikka freezes and trembles at the change in Tokoro, who used to prioritize herself above all else. However, Yuuta later offers to go out with her instead, much to her delight.

Rikka hates meetings and tries to give up her position as head of the Far East Magic Society to Totsumori

One representative from the club was to attend, and it was supposed to be club president Rikka, but she was intimidated by the atmosphere in the meeting room and tried to hand over the position of leader to Tokoromori. Her interpersonal relationships seem to be going better than in the first season, but her communication skills remain the same.

With the momentum building, the club's survival hinges on the outcome of the nap contest.

Rikka's temper flared during an argument and she impulsively threatened to disband the club if they lost, which led to a severe scolding from Yuuta.

Rikka and Yuuta stare at each other in bed

What's a little different this time is that Rikka sneaks into the boys' room... and the two of them lie pressed together in bed, gazing at each other. Then they bring their lips close together as if trying to kiss... it's a scene that will make Rikka fans' hearts race and make them anxious in many ways.

Rokka's First Kiss Was From Behind

Rikka calls Yuuta's name from behind and jumps in to kiss him on the cheek. The scene where she then shyly backsteps and sprints back to her room is one of Rikka's best scenes in Season 2, so don't miss it!

Rikka Confesses Eye to Eye

However, in Season 2, she finally looks Yuuta in the eye and tells him she loves him. The confession scene is cute, but the smile on his face afterward is even cuter.

Rikka, frustrated by the lack of progress in their relationship, begins to want to sign an advanced contract. Rikka consults with her friends and gets their support. After calling Yuuta to meet up, she tries to kiss him, but... in the end, her friends, who helped her, are not happy and chase her away.

Rikka Summary

Shy Rikka Source: Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions © Torako/Kyoto Animation/Chunibyo & Other Delusions Production Committee Since the end of the first season, it seems like her relationship with Yuuta is progressing, but it's not. Even so, the two, who started out holding pinkies, held hands, embraced each other, and were depicted growing little by little. I hope you enjoy the relationship between the two in the anime, even if you get impatient with the slow progress.
