The romance series I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class has begun streaming on Crunchyroll, offering both English dub and subtitled options. The show adapts the manga of the same name, focusing on Maki Maehara's quiet high school life until he forms a friendship with the school's second-ranked beauty, Asanagi.
Produced by Studio Connect, known for its work on Oshi no Ko, the anime follows Asanagi's decision to spend her Fridays with Maki, playing games and watching movies, rather than her more popular best friend. The premise centers on the developing bond between the two, set against a typical high school backdrop. The series currently holds a 7.57 rating on MyAnimeList.
With 12 episodes planned for its Spring 2026 run, the anime adapts the popular seinen manga. Viewers can expect a focus on the gradual development of a relationship, exploring themes of friendship and burgeoning romance within a school setting.
