Miyu and Tani are back to continue their rom-com adventures! These two couldn’t be more opposite; Tani stays quiet and speaks honestly, while Miyu acts stylish and follows expectations instead of her own desires. Miyu finally makes a move when they leave school later than everyone else. We’ll see how close they become when You and I Are Polar Opposites (Seihantai na Kimi to Boku) Season 2 premieres on July 5th, 2026.

You and I Are Polar Opposites. We Can Still Date, Right?
Miyu Suzuki is a bright and energetic gyaru girl. She’s typically the life of the party and friends with almost everyone around. In reality, she regularly forces herself to join her friends for fast-food outings even though she’d rather go home and do her homework. Miyu works hard to maintain her image and her place in the social hierarchy. Despite that, she takes a keen interest in Yusuke Tani, someone who is her exact opposite. He’s quiet, plain-looking, and honest.
She regularly peppers him with questions about topics that wouldn’t interest him, such as makeup and how best to entertain a music crowd. Yusuke gives disinterested replies every time, but that is enough for Miyu. She wants to talk to him without jeopardizing her social standing. Things come to a head after a friend of a friend sees them walking home together. She dismisses it in public, which Yusuke hears and assumes is a complete dismissal of interest in him. Miyu tosses her fears aside and quickly confesses her feelings.
