There's also mention of Oishi Masayoshi, who performed the first season's opening theme "Gift," and Mahiru Shiina (CV: Manaka Iwami), who sang the ending theme "Small Love Song," indicating high interest in the music as well.

Enthusiastic support is also directed at Manaka Iwami, the voice actress for Mahiru Shiina, with comments like "Manaka Iwami is the strongest," demonstrating deep affection for both the character and the voice actress. With many fans eagerly anticipating "being made useless," it is expected that the excitement for Season 2 will continue to build.

The context

"The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten" (お隣の天使様にいつの間にか駄目人間にされていた件, Otonari no Tenshi-sama ni Itsu no Ma ni ka Dame Ningen ni Sareteita Ken) is a popular romantic comedy light novel series by Saekisan, which received an anime adaptation. The story follows the relationship between Amane Fujimiya, an ordinary high school student, and Mahiru Shiina, his beautiful and academically brilliant next-door neighbor, who is often referred to as "the Angel" by their schoolmates. Initially, Amane and Mahiru have almost no interaction, but after Amane helps Mahiru when she catches a cold, she begins to take care of him, cooking for him and cleaning his apartment. This gradually develops into a sweet and heartwarming romantic relationship.

The phrase "Dame Ningen ni Sareteita Ken" (literally "the case of being unknowingly made into a useless person") refers to Amane's increasing reliance on Mahiru's care. However, it's used affectionately by fans to describe how the delightful, sugar-sweet interactions between the characters make the protagonist (and viewers) feel happily "spoiled" or even "useless" in a charming way, as they become entirely captivated by the series' cuteness. "Angel Day" (天使の日, Tenshi no Hi) is October 4th, a playful Japanese date based on the phonetic similarity of "ten" (10) and "shi" (4) to the word "tenshi" (angel).
