The way they keep telling this story from two perspectives is interesting for the genre because Haruhi's personality and insecurity is mostly out in the open, and it's Yuuma (the "male lead") who's hiding all the mysteries.

Spoiler for Episode 2:

All in all, the second episode carries on like the first, and continues to move things forward. Good stuff.

Spoiler for Episode 2: Haruhi's insecurity and lack of self-confidence is pretty endearing, and I guess it isn't entirely unwarranted, as Yuuma definitely seems the "keep things to himself" type. It's sort of a funny romance in that way; he's obviously taken a liking to her, but is pretty stoic and cool when he's around her. I don't know if he's keen enough to notice her advances (beyond the fact that he's noticing her more in general), but that hang-up about the past and magic definitely seems like the main hurdle they have to overcome. Interesting that Sumomo and Haruhi know each other from their childhood too... it all adds up to there being more to tell. They continue to play Anri is a walking magical disaster, and Koyuki as "just a little bit off the wall", but I wonder what role they're going to play in the plot going forward? Should be interesting, though. All in all, the second episode carries on like the first, and continues to move things forward. Good stuff.
