To be honest I enjoyed the second season better than the first. The first season was more to Yumeko making a fool out of every single student council member each episode and the writers just writing her off as some psychotic yet genius gambling addict lazily. In contrast to that, the second season focuses more on a tension between the Momobami family branches and a deeper look into Yumeko's past and family line, although there wasn't much to explain about the Jabami household except for how her sister had become hospitalized due to gambling, and despite that, Yumeko still continues to gamble because she's addicted to it.

Right from the first season, the writers had built up the viewers' anticipation for a "final showdown" between Yumeko and Kirari (the president), but even up until the last episode of season two, the boss battle never came. I was extremely disappointed at that, although I must admit the plot is thicker and slightly better. The newly introduced characters are all quite unique and nicely introduced too, but there was still the problem of it feeling dragged out. I just want the battle to happen already.
