His belly swells, he starts having morning sickness, and an ultrasound scan reveals he’s carrying a little girl. But social cache is on the chopping block too, since Nanai begins to lose his lothario tendencies after sleeping with Nanno because he becomes pregnant himself. Teenage pregnancy, for instance, is a major focus, as is the shame associated with abortions and being perceived as easy for young women. There’s obviously a lot of thematic meat in Girl From Nowhere season 2, episode 1. Revenge is a pretty common theme in film and TV, but only a few shows have this much empowering fun with it. Nanno’s smugness when Nanai can’t get it up, her feigned tears when he tries to break up with her for looking at him “like an object”, her manic laughter when he walks away - it’s all part of a calculated act. This vibe also contorts scenes that might be horrific - Nanai basically trying to rape Nanno in the bathroom - into ones of hilarious oneupmanship. When the students figure out who placed the most correct bet, it turns out to be Nanno herself, who predicted it to the second (she even made Nanai wait a minute before they hooked up, to ensure she was exactly right.) Pocketing all the cash, she tells Nanai, “You just got played.” And she’s right. Part of this comes from the fact that Nanno has so much agency.

The fact that Nanai is so unlikeable would be frustrating in most shows, but not this one since the whole premise is predicated on the idea of pending revenge. Of course, Nanno, despite warnings from female classmates that she’s going to be taken advantage of and the fact that the students are taking bets on how long it’ll take Nanai to get into her pants, immediately begins cosying up to the creep.
