I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class is a school romantic comedy built around an unusually specific premise, summed up neatly by its own title. Rather than chasing the most popular girl in class, the protagonist strikes up an unexpected friendship with the one ranked, by general consensus, as the second cutest. It is a refreshingly down-to-earth choice that sets the tone for the whole series.

What follows is a low-key, character-driven comedy about the easy, teasing closeness that grows between the two as a casual friendship gradually edges toward something more. It trades grand drama for the small, relatable beats of high-school relationships and the awkward charm of two people figuring each other out.

Animated by studio Connect and based on the light novel of the same name, the series premiered in 2026.
