I knew it was a mistake to use such an indirect line, with someone like her she may misunderstand even if you say it out right, so there's absolutely no chance of success if you're not absolutely clear. Still, it can't feel good to have your existence as a member of the opposite sex denied so completely with such frequency.

If I could, I'd adopt Anzu, Hiiragi, Koume and Hinagiku. They are just too lovable to exist only in anime.
Brilliant costume work by Hii-chan, as usual.
Even though she lost, Koume really shone this episode.
I want Anzu and Hinagiku to throw themselves at me.
How could Tsuchida forget that Yamamoto is as dense as tungsten?

Koume's part hit me with FEELS. I almost cried there for a second. Lol.

Ahh, the drunk confession technique never works when you get wasted before hearing the answer.

He actually confessed but she's just too dense to get it xD Still pretty awesome though I do wonder if they'll develop it out in the next two episodes! Interesting ED as well for this episode :p

Probably my favourite episode so far! Koume working so hard to win the race was so cute. Tsuchida's confession was great too, just a shame Yamamoto didn't realise what it was!

Koume is disgustingly adorable


That confession though. lolwut

And as usual, the ED is very good. I might bump this to a 9/10.

awhhhh so adorable. This episode was especially heartwarming with Koume and her older brother. I loved when Koume and Hiiragi were trying to cheer up Tsuchida-sensei after his failed confession xD
the ed was also beautiful.

I literally cannot handle Koume. Everything she does is just hnnnngh shot through the heart. It's like a sugar rush watching her.

I like this episode as well!
First part: Koume's bro is siscom! Hahaha. He's cute and Koume did her best in the race. I laughed so hard when Hinagiku's father and the boys cheered for her hahaha

Second part: I'm starting to feel bad for Tsuchi OMG Yamamoto so dense!!!! But Tsuchi should have his courage to clear things out

Is Koume's brother wearing Nike shoes? Damn, nice for Gainax that they aren't getting copyrighted for that, lol. I mean, it's a pretty minuscule detail, anyway.


"But yeah, aren't you a happy man? Surrounded by three beautiful women and everything." Damn, of course he is!

So, there's a confession scene. I mean, the show's about to end, anyway. But I still think it hasn't been fully "resolved" (they even said something like that in the anime). Which makes me think if there's going to be a more genuine confession in the season finale, or if it will be continued in the manga. I'm not sure if this anime has the entire (or at least most of the important parts) manga adapted. 'Cause if it's not, then I guess I'll read the manga eventually (I'm more of an anime person, tbh).

Oh yeah, Nanako thought that the confession was a reference to the manga she reads. Yeah, definitely not resolved for now.

Thought the first half would be about a lolicon lol. I have to say that good thing it wasn't, I liked Koume's brother but he sure is clingy.

Second half was funny as hell. Getting wasted and doing that train thing seemed like fun. Gainax snuck in a Shaman King OP too lmao.

My friend is pretty sure the Outro animation is referencing a canadian album cover called Walking with Strangers by The Birthday Massacre. It doesn't really make sense since all of the other references are films, but it is an almost 1:1 match.
