The girl talk about their hair was certainly cute though. They just look like three normal girls there, aside from Sena and Yozora tsundere-ish "only your hair that's good" XD

Yozora felt bad and apologize to Sena? I wonder why she starts now though.

Can't help going DAWWW both time when Sena murmurs "Uuu Kodaka"

uhmm... i think they did that to make Sena feel bad. Since it was Sena who said she was perfect enough to handle a heaping, so it wasn't actually Yozora and Rika's fault. Plus, it just proves that her hair doesn't actually look cute i suck at explaining ||D

For novel reader, is Sena masturbating on Yozora's picture in anime episode 1 NEXT?

Its more like she getting intoxicated at the mere thought of getting her revenge on Yozora. Similar to how she gets when she thinks about Kobato

Judge by yourself:

Spoiler for size:

I think that part in the anime she is just extending the wig, look at it closely.

[classic]

If you want to know the characters per source, obviously reading is the way to go, and then can comment on whether the anime portrayed the same. However if you just treat anime as a standalone piece and want questions answered, then maybe not, because the they may or may not have the same intention. Though given the author's more close involvement in Next, it is possible that the anime will be steered towards the novel's direction more had it ever deviated in S1.

Most of us probably know this already, but what Sena did in her bed is akin to this:

IN 492BC, at the end of the “Spring and Autumn” period in Chinese history, Goujian, the king of Yue in modern Zhejiang, was taken prisoner after a disastrous campaign against King Fuchai, his neighbour to the north. Goujian was put to work in the royal stables where he bore his captivity with such dignity that he gradually won Fuchai's respect. After a few years Fuchai let him return home as his vassal.

Goujian never forgot his humiliation. He slept on brushwood and hung a gall bladder in his room, licking it daily to feed his appetite for revenge. Yue appeared loyal, but its gifts of craftsmen and timber tempted Fuchai to build palaces and towers even though the extravagance ensnared him in debt. Goujian distracted him with Yue's most beautiful women, bribed his officials and bought enough grain to empty his granaries. Meanwhile, as Fuchai's kingdom declined, Yue grew rich and raised a new army.

Goujian bided his time for eight long years. By 482BC, confident of his superiority, he set off north with almost 50,000 warriors. Over several campaigns they put Fuchai and his kingdom to the sword.

She thought that's what she's doing. Except I don't think King Goujian derived much pleasure from licking gall bladders

[Miraluka]

Sadly, there is no military campaign for Sena and she is rich already .

To be licking gall bladders, and be taking any sort of pleasure from something like that. Damn, you gotta really hate someone badly. Probably even past the point of obsession.

[frivolity]

It's not so much about pleasure per se, but about never forgetting the hardship that he went through as a captive in his enemy's territory. What Sena is doing appears somewhat similar, with her stroking the wig in order to remember the insult regarding the cosplay of the worst organism on the planet as well as the ordeal she went through in terms of the heaping hairstyle.

[bakAnki]

Judging by the opening of the second season, I assume it will cover until the movie project for the festival?

First season of the anime covered until 2 first chapters of the fourth volume (along with Connect light novel for the Yozora's POV on last episode), though some chapters are skipped (one was adapted as the OVA).

I personally think it's better to also read the LN.

With the way Sena acts I'm really wondering if she's doing it because she wants to get back at Yozora.

On another note I'm surprised people actually thought Sena was actually masturbating to pics of Yozora instead of thinking the studio was just taking some liberties with that scene.

[Rising Dragon]

Her hand was at her crotch with her legs clasped over it. You can't really blame them for mistaking it.

[mironicus]

New chapter up on Vexed site.

Spoiler:

Even after so much time, Yozora did not change. She is just only complaining and totally unhappy.
But Kodaka changed (since Yozora's fall) - he pities her and don't listen to her anymore.

The irony in the post above is killing me - particularly taking into account ep1 of the new season

That's the problem sometimes with Anime. They change something they shouldn't be. I mean, it's not even close with how it is illustrated in the novel

Maybe you should consider this.

Yozora = unhappy
Sena = happy

Happy people can change, they are motivated, they don't give up.
Unhappy people are not motivated, they give up easily.

Happy people can make friends.
Unhappy people can't make friends.

If you want friends, you must be happy first! Then you can work on yourself, improve your personality and so on.

That is exactly what Sena is doing the whole time!

Yozora is completely stuck in negative thinking. She is stuck, she can't move on. She has no aim.

[askara]

i dread how this novel will end. no matter who Sena or Yozora win, it will be bad. so only possible is an open ending "So my school life continue" will be even worst
