first series, although .heron )artin warns that the first 3/3
should be @watched in small doses, as trying to tackle too much of
it in one sitting will ele'ate the suicide rate of your brain

announcement for the second season, claiming @we assume if you

reality. 4he complimented it for focusing more on the other
students and their relationships than on the main lo'e triangle.
