2 confessions in 1 ep, that's impressive.

I'm still rooting for Akari, but I don't mind if Shiori wins since she finally decided to go on the offensive.

Also F for Minami, that's a harsh way to be rejected without any words.

I think you are exactly right about Minami. He seems to be in love with an older woman who took his virginity but is not available as a long-term relationship... I never thought about it being Shiori's mom/older sis. It would be nice if we could have a side story about Minami's love life and this unrequited love of his.
i dont think it was him in the bed with the woman in question, he caught the woman he likes and another guy in the act by chance if im not wrong

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO MAN WHAT AN EPISODE.

So much happened it’s kinda overwhelming.

Starting off at the end of the episode with Akari. Really good that she cleared things up with Minami and can move on with her life. Mentally she’d already started moving on with Jirou, probably sooner than she realises, but this makes it more official.

Feel bad for Minami, looks like he watched the girl he loves get fucked by another dude? Unexpected NTR Lmaoo

Speaking of NTR, LETS GOOOO that Shiori and Jirou kiss was awesome. Proud of my girl Shiori being assertive and taking that step.

I can’t wait until next week, so hype. Hopefully this gets another season too

Another excellent episode wow 5/5

Didn't expect to enjoy this as much as i do. A pleasant suprise. Anyways things aren't looking too good for Akari. She got rejected already and she is set up to get another one from the looks of it. Will she come back from this 3-1 deficit to win Jirou from Shiori? Find out next time in the waifu war finals

Also i half expected Minami to be a secret antagonist but he's simply a good guy. Hope he and kamo both get good endings for themselves but that may be asking too much

Uff, she got sister-zoned real hard there 😳 But at least this sets up Minami with Shiori nicely too ;) And for real, Akari should just man up and confess to Jirou, because that man will not make up his god damn mind after that wet kiss haha. Like my mans the most gangsta of them all, even tho he's called virgin-kun 😂 He's already kissed twice as much people as Shiori or Akari lol

Broooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

One episode left and I'm still deciding which ship sail to. On one hand you have Shiori, the good but shy childhood friend who usually never gets the main guy and on the other one is Akari the girl who comes from nowhere in the life of the protagonist to claim him.
By the end of the last episode I thought Akari was going to win and then that last scene, both with their closed eyes!! And you know, at some point I thought Minami was gay or something and because of that he would reject Akari, but seems he's a teammate of the Milf supremacy supporters.
Already feeling that heat for next week's episode!

For me shiori deserves jiro more than akari....becoz she stays true to her feelings still from her childhood days... after watched this episode it made me even more confused that what if minami accepted her love and they started dating then still will she have feelings for jiro and would change her mind later or if minami accepted her love then will she simply just forget jiro...how I'm seeing akari like " first I like minami and now i have feelings for jiro and now minami dumped me so I'm gng to pursue jiro" something like that.....so I want jiro to love shiori instead of akari becoz she deserves it. her only mistake is that she constantly using the word 'childhood friend ' which made jiro to confused in the end

So, here's my take.

I don't mind the generic situations of many girls being interested in the protagonist, and the protagonist not fully being aware yet on who he truly loves.

Whoever when it comes to kissing, it pushes a bit too far. If its an accidental kiss, or when the girl kisses the MC on her own kinda as a "last love memory", I can accept. But when the MC also kisses her on his will, it makes me a bit uncomfortable.

Hopefully this can also be sorted out and let best girl, Akari, win and be happy once again.

Well then, even though a lot happened this episode that I wasn't expecting, I still think it really isn't going to go anywhere.
Also looks like we got to know a little more about Minami, but that seems like it won't be going anywhere either.
Akari has got to move fast, since she might be behind now.

Shiori is literally the fifth wheel in this show and dragging it all down by herself.
We all know who is going to win this love triangle since episode one, so her and Jirou getting along is just boring and a waste of screentime, because it's obvious it won't go anywhere. This screen time could be used to develop Akari and Jirou relationship further.

A very eventful episode with big developments on both sides. The test of courage was just a backdrop for what occurred, on Akari’s side she finally had her moment with Minami, but she ended up getting turned down. Not only that but we also got backstory on Minami and how he’s known about Akari’s crush on him this whole time. I really did like that moment between them, it kinda removes Minami from the love equation too, at least that’s how it looks for now.

But on Shiori’s side there was a massive move from her going for a kiss in the rain, a very nice moment between her and Jiro, it was definitely an Akari caliber move, but sadly it’s just one move versus Akari’s dozen lol. As a fan of Shiori I’m very pleased with this development, I also really liked her words about being a childhood friend. The sad thing about it is the fact this is probably a false win, and Akari will most likely get a fantastic moment next episode that will overshadow it. So you Akari fans that are seething and hating on Shiori (I mainly saw this on crunchyroll) just gotta hold your horses, you’ll get your time again soon, just let us Shiori fans (of which there aren’t many) enjoy this lol.

And this ends next week on Christmas Day, it’s been an amazing Romcom this season and a great one to end the year on.

my favorite ep so far, feel so bad for Minami nice from him telling all that to Akari. The scene was incredible. Finally Akari can focus on her relationship with Jirou. Also Shiori courage confronting Jirou that way. Everything was going smoothly this ep am very excited for the last one. though hope Minami start to think over and take new path. Hopefully he doesn't stuck his entire life in one-sided love.

Watching this episode while looking at the youtube chat at the same time where Shiori got much of her sweet moments there and chat be like

Shiori is cute as always so was Akari despite I still find it a hard time to choose between those two. Tenjin having a bad past is really unfortunate to the point that Akari has no chance to win him at this point.




Am gonna be so sad if he doesn't take them both. or that's at least what I hope, if it's even possible.

Shame! I like Minami, I feel like the story has space for his character. If they can insert Shiori’s lesbian friend whenever they can lol why they are rushing to shut his character out lol, I like his character. I actually don’t think he’s dull/boring he’s barely had much screen time & in these few scenes we already learn so much more bout him. HE is kind & gentle & actually so self-aware, really liked him. Waste of a character!

Loved the scene Akari & Minami shared. They both took it so well, Minami saying the right things, being honest & sensitive, and Akari already having moved on, if anything it was more for closure than rejection.

I feel bad for Akari, took her long enough to sort her feelings out for Jirou. I don’t like Shiori but I can admire the fact that she’s proactive of her feelings for Jirou. Please tell me Jirou starts dating Shiori & then realises who he really likes hehehehehee

This episode had quite the emotional spice and drama.
First of all kamo was a good wingman helping out jirou, mei a great comfort and supporting pillar to shiori, even though having feelings for her and guilty about using jirou to push shiori towards him to move on from her feelings. I feel for her really.
Allright its clear as day both akari and jirou have actual feelings for each other. The difference is jirou has is unaware of it and just sub consciously denies it at times even though his actions speak otherwise. I understand him kissing shiori back, with all the feelings in his head that he wont be able to replace minami in akaris world and in the end she might not end up with him, plus in that moment your childhood crush is advancing her affections on you. Heat of the moment if you call it.
Even though i am team akari, i am glad shiori got it out that she wants jirou to see her more than just a childhood friend and boldy expressed her feelings with the kiss. The progression and development other wise would be half baked with the story. Now Jirou atleast has a clear idea of half of the stuff, just doesnt know akaris feelings which will make the bigger picture complete on his decision.

Finally coming to akari and minami. Minami is hands down the most matured out of the group and boy has experienced some serious adult stuff mentally. I am not sure but i think hes in a affair/relationship with a married lady and knows its not going to go anywhere, or loves one knowing she can never love him back, just a guess but hopefully we see more of his backstory, i have grown to like him more, especially he acknowledged akaris feelings, understood her and rejected her gently as possible, plus even he knows akaris obvious feelings for Jirou.

Akari finally found some peace and clarity even though it came in form of a rejection, she now knows where her heart is really set up on, one thing is i just want is jirou to not be just a rebound guy for her even though i know she has genuine feelings for him, i want her to pull all the stops to make him fall in love with her and give him the love he deserves. I am positive it will happen, since she already shown glimpses of it before.

One final episode left. lets see how they end the first season, hopefully on a good note. Also got to hear more of the ed song which is one of the things i love about this show,

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Okay, so we finally get to understand how Tenjin feels. It was low-key always in the back of my mind, cos Akari was throwing herself at him (and Jirou was pushing her towards him) when we really didn't know how he felt about the matter. Tough fucking luck about falling in love with what I assume is his older brother's fiancee/wife (it's quite a common thing in both manga and real-life, as it's a kind older girl who's always around and treats you super nicely).

Akari has finally come to terms with her feelings. While she's been in two minds the entire time about what she wants to want (Tenjin) vs what's she subconsciously actually wants (Jirou), Tenjin making his feelings known can now allow Akari to direct 100% of her attention at pursuing Jirou (instead of the like 90% she's been doing all the time lol).

NGL, GZWP to Shiori. As they say, fortune favours the brave. And her being timid was never gonna get her anywhere, especially when her rival is someone as aggressive as Akari.

The above "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" was for my man Jirou. I'm so fucking disappointed. I legit expected the kiss to be a fakeout and he was actually gonna stop Shiori and go look for Akari. But alas, that was not the case. Why I don't like the Jirou/Shiori dynamic as much is that both parties aren't exposing 100% of themselves to the other - Shiori only gets the lovesick version of Jirou. Akari sees lovesick Jirou, ecchi Jirou, considerate Jirou, angry Jirou, she sees it all.

As someone who used to watch pretty much just shounen harem romcoms back in the day, I've really come to appreciate the more monogamous tones of shoujo manga. I dunno, Jirou actually kissing both of them now seems a bit icky to me.

Side note: we are aware Kamo is only interested in 2D (not really by choice) and Hamano has a thing for Shiori, but it really seems these two are gonna have something between them. W for Kamo as Hamano is a top-tier tanned onee-san tomboy, but L for Hamano as Kamo is Kamo.

TL;DR
W Tenjin
W Akari
W Shiori
L Jirou

"Loved," to be fair. Yall acting like it was an in the moment confession of her current love, but she was just getting her PREVIOUS love off her chest, so that she could move forward with Jiro. She literally said, "I loved you." Not "I love you." Did the sister-zone totally hurt? Yeah, for sure. But if he said he loved her then and there, would they have ended up together? Hell no. Am I the only one that saw it this way???

i am with you on akaris feelings, even if she was crushing on minami at a point of time, everyone could see where her actual feelings were, even minami called it out. This makes her head even more clear to where or rather whom her actual happiness lies and it is jiro and shes made her decision. I doubt she her heart would actually go along with it even if minami accepted her proposal, cause her heart is with someone else now.

what the fuck was this episode? so much shit happened. on one hand there's a good development and on the other there's another development which nullifies the earlier good development.

the starting was going normally then comes jiro in denial wanting to give akari a chance to be alone with minami and the problems began.

getting seperated was pretty cliche but the following events weren't.

akari got a closure with minami and seems minami loves someone who isn't from their school. the whole ordeal with minami helped akari to finally come to terms with her feelings for jiro. just when it got good we see jiro and shiori (who grew HUGE balls in so little time) kissing. damn. here's the shiori development we all wanted and it couldn't have happened at a worse time.

the pv is pretty yabai. the finale is gonna cross all the limits it seems. i really hope this gets a second season as even if someone were to go and read the manga now, it won't be as enjoyable because the adaptation has been top-notch. the black and white panels would feel bland. at least to me.

5/5. looking forward to the final episode.

I was all for Akari and Jiro, but this episode Jiro became the insurance without a doubt and that dosent sit right with me.
I didn't mind Akari chasing Tenjin and slowly realizing Jiro might be the right guy in the earlier episodes. But this late into the series was a make it or break it, and her choosing Jiro because Tenjin rejected her leaves a bad taste for me.
she loved jiro more than minami. akari was in denial all this time or rather she just didn't wanna accept that she loved jiro. minami rejecting her opened her eyes to see that she loves jiro afterall. minami's rejection was kind of a catalyst for akari to pursue her love for jiro. in all these past episode there are numerous instances where it's clearly visible for us (and jiro) that akari seems to be having feelings for jiro. the biggest instance being the whole beach ordeal in the last episode.
